Becoming carbon neutral

Based on the methodology described in the previous section, we have estimated our total emissions and have identified four main levers that drive our emissions:

• Products & Components - covering the emissions embedded in the materials, components and products that we offer.
• Travel - the emissions generated by our business travels.
• Logistics - covering inbound logistics for our raw materials, components and finished products plus the distribution of our products to our customers.
• Own sites & Operations - made up of a range of contributions such as onsite energy consumption, consultancy services, facility maintenance, tools, hardware, and office equipment.

我们在2019年的总碳足迹估计为69 kilotonnes CO2E。我们减少排放的努力将在这些杠杆周围塑造，并在以下页面上进行详细说明。

Laerdal is joining forces with several prominent companies across sectors to reduce CO2e emissions and to increase use of circular materials in the value chain. In doing so, we accept the challenge to:

• adopt targets to reduce CO2e emissions in a “science-based” manner so that they can be assessed by others and are in line with the level of decarbonization required to keep global temperature increase below 1.5°C compared to pre-industrial temperatures;
• set interim targets to be reached in the coming 1 to 5 years, not only a long-term target; and
• 覆盖范围1、2和3排放。

Skiftnorge

Laerdal has joined Skiftnorge which is an initiative to accelerate the transition to a low-carbon economy and support the Norwegian Government in delivering on its national climate commitments by 2030.

实现我们的野心将需要时间，需要系统地和长期的努力。我们将在接下来的十年中每年在四个杠杆和组件，物流，旅行和自己的站点和运营中启动和资助项目，以使我们能够达到目标金宝搏官方app下载。将根据我们动员所有员工在整个价值链中工作以确定改进的机会的能力来实现结果，以便我们可以加速我们对更可持续的未来的影响。

We will reduce emissions from our products and components from thirty-three to eleven thousand tons of CO2e per year by 2030.

These reductions will be achieved by initiatives undertaken at our manufacturing sites as well as in cooperation with suppliers in our value chain.

By introducing more recycled and bio-based mate-rial into our products we will achieve a reduction in both CO2e emissions and usage of raw materials. As we transition to using more circular and shared user models, complemented by digital solutions, we will see a decrease in resources and energy needed and, at the same time, an increase in usage of our solutions. Ultimately, we will be helping save more lives using less resources.

Starting now, we will plan for solutions internally with total emissions in mind and will work with partners that share our commitment to achieve an overall reduction in emissions.

我们将减少排放来自八个旅游to five thousand tons of CO2e per year by 2030.

我们相信与我们的客户保持亲密关系，并且有一些旅行是必要的。但是，我们需要在如何优化这些联系人方面变得更聪明。

随着在Covid-19的影响期间所需的数字通信增加，我们已经开发了数字软件和技能。在客户和合作伙伴的情况下，我们认为这是一个机会，可以持续过渡到基于数字的销售和通信系统。

我们目前的估计表明,2030年我们将generating 21 kilotonnes of CO2e emissions that will need to be offset.

Currently, the most promising carbon capture tech-nology is the approach of planting trees. Research shows that ten years after planting, an average tree will absorb about 21kg of CO2e per year from the atmosphere.

这意味着从2031年开始，从2031年开始，在2021年内种植的一百万棵树将抵消潜在的剩余排放。

We will by mid-2021 investigate if further emission reductions can be achieved and other solutions for removing our emissions from the atmosphere, but we are now planning for offsetting the current esti-mated residual emissions by planting one million trees.

Carbon reduction initiatives in different functions

The carbon reduction program goes across all units in Laerdal, and many initiatives are underway or will be started shortly. Some are based on specific plans others based on developments in the market. In dialogue with 3 corporate leaders we learnt their perspective on the situation:
