Overview
A carbon footprint measures the amount of carbon dioxide released into the atmosphere as a result of the things a person, organization or community does. A carbon footprint is measured in terms of tons of CO2 emissions.
As our Co-Founder and CEO,
Max Klijnstra, explains: “We are structuring the company to ensure impact is embedded in
all decision-making going forward”, that way we can
drive systemic change.
What Otrium did about this
In 2022 Otrium saved 5,411,574 from being destroyed.
The intention was to enable all stakeholders to understand and work towards Otrium’s impact goals.
As part of the reporting framework, we conducted to understand the issues to include in our reporting going forward. Having defined the issues working with stakeholders to determine the priorities we created an internal committee to shape, steer and measure our progress. Our reporting framework also prompted the launch of our Environmental Policy that identifies Otrium’s impact
on the environment and
outlines a framework for the environmental impact strategy.
