CO
EMISSION
GHGP* DIVIDES THE INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL EMISSION IN SCOPES. AS A SME
OUR PRIMARY PURPOSE IS TO REDUCE OUR EMISSIONS IN SCOPE 1 & 2, BUT
CHOOSE TO KEEP SCOPE 3 IN FOCUS, AS IT STANDS FOR MORE THAN 95% OF OUR
TOTAL CO2 EMISSION.

Being less bad, is not being good
When solutions to the issues is discussed in various forums,
there is a lot of talk about ‘minimizing’ all kinds of negatives;
C02, toxins and not least waste. From 2015-2020 we did
a lot of actions in our production facilities that minimized our
energy consumption and thereby our CO2.
We also went through the various chemicals included in the
manufacturing process - Found out the minimum amount that
could be used, and outphased chemicals that did not live up
to the requirements when we certified products. Thereby we
minimized toxins. We furthermore managed to use more of

our raw materials and establish a social economic business
unit, that makes new products from a lot of our residual materials - And so, we minimized waste.
We sure did a lot of minimizations of things that were not
good. But while we may have improved and become better
than our starting point, we aim to be standard setting and
show an example of what can be done, even tough we are
just a minor sized enterprise. Therefore our goal is to minimize our total scope 1 and 2 emissions with 100% by 2030
to become completely CO2 neutral in our primary scopes of
actions.
