The Carbon Footprint Record is of a voluntary nature and recognizes the efforts of organizations such as SIGNUS in the calculation, reduction, and compensation of the emissions of climate change gases generated from their activity

SIGNUS registered for the first time, at the Spanish Office of Climate Change, the carbon footprint for its activity in 2017. SIGNUS was the first collective management responsibility system carried out with the aim of improving the environmental management of ELT, not only by finding more applications for the resulting sub-products but also by involving all the actors involved in the different operations of the management in order to improve its energy efficiency. For this reason, SIGNUS incorporates, in its entirety, the requirement of all its collection and treatment service selection processes, and the obligation to comply with carbon dioxide emission measurements.

SIGNUS has recently measured and recorded the organization’s climate-warming gas emissions relative to its generated activity in 2022. Thanks to the planning and implementation of the measures considered in its Reduction Plan, it has quantified an emissions reduction of 33 percent in the 2020-2022 three-year period, compared to the 2019-2021 three-year period, for levels 1+2. The data shows that SIGNUS’s initiatives in this matter are effective in achieving the goal of minimizing the carbon footprint by demonstrating its commitment to decarbonization.

The result of the certified medical examination entitled SIGNUS to obtain two of the three stamps issued by the Spanish Climate Change Office (Calculation, Reduction, and Compensation) related to the decarbonization commitment of Spanish companies by 2050.
