We take our commitment to reducing Freebee’s environmental impact very seriously. Freebee has launched a CO2-neutrality initiative. By investing in green energy, we will offset all CO2 emissions generated throughout every aspect of our business by 2030. Our progress is split into the five phases shown here and we are pleased to announce that Freebee is already two years ahead of schedule, continuing to push forward at full speed.
Phases Freebee Production and Facility and Inbound Goods are completed with the remaining phases, Inbound- and outbound-generated CO2 emissions to be updated as we move forward.
Product specific CO2 is calculated using production system SCADA-data.
This information is measured in kWh and converted to its tons CO2 equivalent using values defined by our energy-provider, Energinet. This value is averaged and assigned to each product.
Transport specific CO2 is determined by using an emissions calculator to find the diesel equivalent value per ton. This includes all modes of transport involved for each specific shipment (truck, train, and ship). Freebee uses the WTW (well to wheels) value, as this includes all processes involved in producing fuel up to its usable form (the harvesting crude oil, refinery, transport, and storage) in addition to the total CO2 generated for inbound goods (when applicable) and outbound goods delivered to their final destination (when applicable).
According to the United Nations:
"The world is making progress towards Goal 7, with encouraging signs that energy is becoming more sustainable and widely available. Access to electricity in poorer countries has begun to accelerate, energy efficiency continues to improve, and renewable energy is making impressive gains in the electricity sector."
According to the United Nations:
"Sustainable consumption and production is about doing more and better with less. It is also about decoupling economic growth from environmental degradation, increasing resource efficiency and promoting sustainable lifestyles.
Sustainable consumption and production can also contribute substantially to poverty alleviation and the transition towards low-carbon and green economies."
According to the United Nations:
"2019 was the second warmest year on record and the end of the warmest decade (2010- 2019) ever recorded.
Climate change is affecting every country on every continent. It is disrupting national economies and affecting lives. Weather patterns are changing, sea levels are rising, and weather events are becoming more extreme."
