Post-harvest solutions provider Citrosol has renewed its registration for the fourth year in the Carbon Footprint, Compensation, and CO₂ Absorption Projects Registry of the Ministry for Ecological Transition and the Demographic Challenge, for the 2024 calculation year.

In this registration, the company has once again obtained the “Calculate and Reduce” seal, which recognises organisations that measure their carbon footprint and demonstrate a reduction in their emissions. The certificate covers scopes 1 and 2, that is, direct emissions and those derived from electricity consumption.

According to the certificate, Citrosol has achieved an 11.39 per cent reduction in its emissions intensity for the period 2022-2024 compared to the previous three-year period, 2021-2023. This result reflects the company’s progress in managing and controlling its environmental impact.

“At Citrosol, our commitment to environmental protection is not just a statement of intent, but a central part of our strategy,” the company said. “We don’t simply comply with the law; we go a step further by integrating an environmental policy that requires us to accurately measure our carbon footprint. Only by understanding our emissions can we truly reduce them, promoting sustainability that is, above all, responsible and effective.”

The carbon footprint calculation includes the company’s main activities, such as the design and production of water-based waxes, the manufacture and marketing of products for post-harvest application of fruits and vegetables and disinfectants for the food industry, as well as the design and production of machinery for post-harvest treatments.

By registering the carbon footprint with the Ministry’s official registry, Citrosol said it is underscoring its commitment to and ongoing work in environmental sustainability, through the measurement of its carbon footprint and the implementation of measures aimed at reducing it.
