At Genco Import & Export, we integrate environmental, social, and governance aspects into our daily operations to create value for society and improve our processes. In 2022, we committed to becoming a reference in our sector for ESG practices.
To achieve this, we started by implementing our emissions calculator, allowing our clients to offset the emissions of polluting gases from the logistics process. On the environmental side, we will also offset the emissions from our offices globally.
Every human activity is linked to carbon emissions during its production. Given this reality, high concentrations of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere contribute to the increase in global warming, which is the main cause of climate change and ecosystem alterations.
Currently, about 40 billion metric tons of CO2 pollution are added to the atmosphere annually, and maritime transport is the 8th largest source of this gas in the world (2022 data).
In this context, it becomes essential to seek alternatives that reconcile human activity with environmental preservation. Therefore, the Genco team decided to reassess how their services impact the planet, offering an alternative for those who care about this issue.
De maneira simplificada, agora você pode ver a quantidade de gases poluentes emitidos durante o processo logístico diretamente no orçamento final do seu pedido. Isso se tornou possível porque a Genco, em parceria com a ESALQ Júnior Florestal, desenvolveu uma calculadora usando a metodologia do GHG Protocol. Essa calculadora considera as fontes de emissões hidroviárias e terrestres do Escopo 3, ou seja, abrangendo veículos que não são de posse da empresa.
Assim, ao simular sua importação, você tem a opção de neutralizar a quantidade de CO² emitida durante o processo, e, ao fazer essa escolha, receberá o selo Genco Eco.
To expand our compensation program, we are offering our clients the Genco Eco Seal, indicating that the entire logistics project has been offset, from departure to arrival at the destination. Additionally, certificates related to the purchase of carbon credits will be provided at the end of the service.
Genco Import & Export is committed to overseeing all processes, ensuring everything is carried out properly and providing clients with effective environmental actions, with direct support from ESALQ Júnior Florestal.
By choosing this option, you will directly contribute to reducing the impacts of climate change, broadening the horizons of your order.
