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:

• 金宝搏官方app下载产品和组件 - 涵盖我们提供的材料，组件和产品中嵌入的排放。
• Travel - the emissions generated by our business travels.
• 物流 - 涵盖我们的原材料，组件和成品的入站后勤以及向客户分发产品。金宝搏官方app下载
• 自己的站点和运营 - 由一系列贡献组成，例如现场能源消耗，咨询服务，设施维护，工具，硬件和办公设备。

总碳排放量在2019年估计to be 69 kilotonnes CO2e. Our efforts to reduce our emissions will be shaped around these levers and are detailed on the following pages.

拉尔达尔（Laerdal）与各个部门的几家著名公司联手，以减少二氧化碳排放量并增加价值链中的圆形材料的使用。在这样做的过程中，我们接受挑战：

• 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
• cover Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions.

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.

Achieving our ambitions will take time and require systematic and long-term efforts. We will initiate and fund projects within four levers -Products and components, Logistics, Travel and Own sites and operations - every year during the next ten years to enable us to reach our targets. The results will be achieved based on our ability to mobilize all employees to work throughout the entire value chain to identify opportunities for improvements so that we can accelerate the impact we have for a more sustainable future.

到2030年，我们的产品和组件的排放量将从每年33吨二十三吨。金宝搏官方app下载

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

通过将更多的回收和基于生物的伴侣rial引入我们的产品中，我们将减少CO2E排放和原材料的使用。金宝搏官方app下载当我们过渡到使用更多的循环和共享用户模型（以数字解决方案为补充）时，我们将看到所需的资源和能源减少，同时增加了解决方案的使用情况。最终，我们将使用更少的资源来帮助挽救更多的生命。

从现在开始，我们将在内部考虑整体排放的内部解决方案，并将与合作伙伴合作，分享我们致力于实现排放量的总体减少的承诺。

到2030年，我们将每年从八千吨二氧化碳从八千吨二氧化碳减少。

我们believe in being close to our customers and some travelling is necessary. However, we need to be smarter in how we optimize these contacts.

With the increased digital communication necessary during the time affected by COVID-19, we have developed our digital software and skills. With customers and partners, we see this as an opportunity to continue a transition to a more digi-tal-based sales and communication system on an ongoing basis.

Our current estimates show that in 2030 we will be 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.

This means that one million trees planted within 2021 will offset the potential residual emissions of 21 kilotonnes CO2e per year from 2031 onwards.

我们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.

减少碳减少倡议

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:
