We minimize our CO2 footprint.
And yours too!

At Your Green Mix, we strive to align our corporate policies with the UN climate goals to actively contribute to a sustainable and low-carbon future. Our efforts focus on taking ecolo­gical respon­si­bility and reducing emissions in raw material extra­ction, transport, production, use and disposal.

Climate protection projects supported by Your Green Mix

We support initia­tives dedicated to climate protection. A notable example is Deutschland Plus Mix. This project effec­tively integrates global and local efforts for climate preser­vation by combining a refore­station initiative in the natural forests of Togo, West Africa, with a commitment to climate and environ­mental conser­vation here in Germany.

The Deutschland Plus Mix initiative is charac­te­rized by the following simul­ta­neous measures and goals:

Natural forest resto­ration in Togo, West Africa:

  • Planting native tree species from own tree nurseries with a total of 8 project villages
  •  80.000 to 140.000 tree seedlings are culti­vated annually
  • Forest areas are sustainably protected
  • People in the region are integrated and trained
  • CO2 is perma­nently bound by the activities (emission compen­sation)

Regional commitment to climate protection:

  • Each certi­ficate simul­ta­neously supports forest ecology projects in Germany
  • Imple­men­tation takes place with regional forestry organi­sa­tions in the Taunus, Black Forest and many more
  • The project is organised on municipal, state or national areas
  • In this sense, the project creates a balance between global and regional climate protection

Key Points about Climate Neutrality

Climate neutrality signifies a condition in which the green­house gas emissions, resulting from a specific activity, enter­prise, organization, or even an entire nation, are entirely counter­ba­lanced or offset. This implies that the quantity of emitted green­house gases (such as carbon dioxide, methane, or nitrous oxide) is either equivalent or less than the quantity of green­house gases reinte­grated into the atmosphere through emission reduc­tions or invest­ments in projects aimed at climate protection.

In the pursuit of climate neutrality, any residual emissions must be compen­sated by means of emissions removal. Furthermore, it’s essential to include the localized or regional biogeo­phy­sical conse­quences of human endeavors that might, for instance, impact surface albedo or the local climate

The concept of climate neutrality is built upon the principle that human under­ta­kings should exert no net influence on the climate system. This neces­si­tates that any remaining emissions are counter­acted through suitable climate protection initia­tives and compen­satory projects, all aimed at achieving equili­brium between emissions and climate safeguarding.

We determine the arising green­house gas emissions of our products through the “Green­house Gas Protocol.” The GHG Protocol is a well-known and widely used instrument for capturing, quanti­fying, and reporting green­house gas emissions from companies, organiza­tions, and govern­ments. It was developed by two nonprofit organiza­tions, the World Resources Institute (WRI) and the World Business Council for Sustainable Develo­pment (WBCSD).
We offset CO2 emissions that we are currently unable to avoid or further reduce with climate protection projects. We would like to share these efforts and thus include the sentence “climate-neutral through CO2 compen­sation” in our product descrip­tions.
