HMS Bergbau AG: CO 2 neutral as of 2019
Berlin, 09 December 2020: HMS Bergbau AG, one of the leading independent commodity trading and marketing companies in Germany, has been certified as a CO 2 -neutral company as of this year.
HMS Bergbau AG is compensating for its administrative and in-house operative CO 2 emissions of the entire HMS Group for the business year 2019. This has been determined and confirmed by independent and authorized auditors. The Co2 compensation was reached through a number of investments in international climate protection projects. Shares have been acquired in “Gold Standard” accredited projects which sustainably reduce greenhouse gases.
The determined CO 2 emissions, which include factors such as the energy consumption of offices, the company’s own vehicles, as well as business travel and commuting activities of all employees of the globally-operating group, are now calculated annually and subsequently offset.
CEO, Dennis Schwindt, in his comments, highlights the importance of sustainable investments: “Environmental protection plays an important role in the responsible and sustainable operations of all modern companies today. We are also seeing that our actions give us a clear competitive advantage that we can pass on to our customers as additional value added.”
