Since we began measuring our carbon footprint in 2013, we have worked persistently to reduce and offset any remaining emissions. In 2018, we proudly achieved Carbon Neutral recognition, marking a major milestone in our sustainability journey.
We are thrilled to announce that, as of November 2024, we have been recognized as a Carbon Positive company by Green Development and Green Footprint®. This recognition is a significant step forward in our commitment to environmental sustainability. The Carbon Positive label is awarded to organizations that offset more than 100% of their operational environmental impact through projects that reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.
With this new recognition, we reaffirm our dedication to sustainability by not only quantifying and offsetting our carbon footprint, but also offsetting an additional 10% of our Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions through an investment in renewable energy. For the commercial refrigeration industry, this achievement is especially relevant, as energy consumption and GHG emissions present significant environmental challenges for both equipment manufacturers and our customers’ operations.
At Fogel, we continue to prove that high operational efficiency can go hand in hand with environmental responsibility. Our products embody our core values of quality, service, and environmental stewardship, and we continue to innovate to provide sustainable refrigeration solutions that benefit both our clients and the planet.
Green Development is a leading environmental firm specializing in carbon footprint quantification and mitigation. The Green Footprint® certification acknowledges organizations that meet the highest standards in emissions quantification, reduction, and mitigation, validating these efforts according to international standards.
