The uvex Carbon (CO₂) footprint: More transparency for a better global climate.
How and why are we calculating the Carbon (CO₂) footprint of our products?
To help achieve the goals set out by the European Green Deal on climate neutrality by 2050 at the latest, the current emissions must first be calculated so that subsequent potential savings can be identified.
To determine the transparency of our products’ greenhouse gas emissions throughout the entire supply chain and to provide our customers with a comprehensive view of the company’s carbon footprint, we have started to calculate the first products’ Carbon (CO2 footprints.
