Context

The climate crisis is one of our most urgent global challenges, and every sector must drastically reduce carbon emissions. Companies, in particular, must take responsibility for mitigating their environmental impact. The most ambitious ones can set a goal to reduce emissions and contribute to a “Climate Positive” future by removing more CO2 than they emit. Achieving this goal on a large scale is crucial to limiting global warming to within 1.5°C, as the scientific community recommends.

The project

Sgambaro’s journey began in 2011 when 2.5 hectares of new forest—FSC® certified—were created at Bosco Limite in Carmignano di Brenta. 

Sgambaro’s commitment to the environment later grew to an ambitious goal of contributing to a Climate Positive future by 2030 by integrating sustainability into every stage of its production. 

Following our MARC approach step by step, the company first measured CO2 emissions throughout the life cycle of its products through the Life Cycle Assessment method. This approach allowed it to develop a detailed plan to reduce emissions by 4.2 per cent each year, which aligns with the most ambitious global warming reduction scenarios. In addition, the company is adopting innovative practices to mitigate climate and reputational risks and capture and store more CO2 than is produced.

Our contribution

Etifor is Sgambaro’s strategic partner on the path to a Climate Positive future. Using the MARC approach, Etifor guided the company in the initial emissions measurement and development of a reduction plan consistent with global goals. It also advised analysing climate and reputational risks and identifying best practices to mitigate them. Finally, Etifor facilitates the selection of projects that capture and store CO2, giving visibility to the results.
