Net zero journey Our SkyBlue Programme
Ardmac offices around the world have been carbon neutral since 2021. We have achieved this through our focus on sustainability throughout the project and product lifecycle. We have also secured credits from the COTAP Scheme by Investing in reforestation and other active carbon removal projects. This requires innovative technologies and solutions, but the long-term benefits will be significant in securing a healthy and liveable planet for the future. We aim to increase understanding of energy consumption and increase energy efficiency to reduce impact on our company carbon footprint and climate change impact.
In our Net Zero journey we have chosen COTAP (Carbon Offsets To Alleviate Poverty) a global nonprofit organisation who manage carbon offset projects in developing countries. COTAP projects actively remove Carbon and Green House Gases, while empowering individuals in developing countries to tackle the world’s biggest environmental challenges that is climate change and the humanitarian challenge of extreme poverty. COTAP pools and allocates carbon offsets through the purchase of forestry carbon projects, restoring landscapes, contributing to and creating lasting economic benefits for the rural poor in the least developed countries.
Ardmac carbon offset donations are currently supporting the following projects: • Root’s Limay Community Carbon Project in Nicaragua. • Ecotrust’s Trees for Global Benefits (TFGB) Community Carbon Project in Uganda. • Cooperativa AMBIO’s Scolel’te Reforestation Project in Mexico. • GHG projects in India, Fiji and Indonesia
