At Pastisart, our dedication to sustainability is a cornerstone of our operations. We recognize the profound impact that climate change has on our world, particularly within the agricultural and livestock sectors, which are essential to our industry. The increasingly severe water shortages, among other challenges, highlight the urgent need for action. As a responsible company, we are committed to minimizing our environmental footprint and actively contributing to the fight against climate change.

Why We Calculate Our Carbon Footprint

Understanding our carbon footprint is critical in identifying the direct effects of our industrial activities on CO2 emissions. By calculating our carbon footprint, we can pinpoint where we stand in terms of emissions and develop targeted strategies to reduce them. This initiative has led us to create a comprehensive Decarbonization Plan, which includes various immediate actions, such as installing solar panels at our Roda de Berà facility. This plan is a testament to our commitment to sustainable development and energy efficiency.

Partnering with Cecot Energia

We chose Cecot Energia to conduct our carbon footprint study due to their proximity and personalized consulting approach. Being familiar with our company and business, Cecot Energia provided tailored guidance that was essential for this complex project. Their use of the internationally recognized ISO 14064 standard ensured the reliability of our carbon calculations, validated by an independent accredited company (APPLUS).

The Benefits of Carbon Footprint Calculation

The insights gained from this study have been invaluable. Not only have we identified the major sources of emissions within our operations, but we have also been able to design improvement plans focused on reducing these emissions, enhancing energy efficiency, and conserving natural resources. This comprehensive understanding extends beyond the general emissions (Scope 1 and 2) to include other significant sources (Scope 3), enabling us to implement more focused and global improvement systems.

Encouraging Other Industries

We strongly encourage other industries to undertake carbon footprint calculations. It is not only a matter of social responsibility but also a means to achieve industrial and energy efficiency. While the initial calculation can be challenging due to data collection and emission factor identification, the benefits far outweigh the efforts. Quantifying and measuring emissions allow organizations to define sustainable development strategies and make substantial contributions to combating climate change.

At Pastisart, we are proud of our proactive approach to sustainability and are committed to continuous improvement in our environmental impact. Our journey towards reducing our carbon footprint is ongoing, and we are dedicated to making meaningful contributions to a more sustainable future for all.
