WE ARE CLIMATE NEUTRAL

Aves One AG has calculated its greenhouse gas emissions for the year 2019 according to the Greenhouse Gas Protocol for the first time and is determining these on an ongoing basis. In addition to the calculation of operational emissions, the company has identified its emission reduction potential and initiated various measures for further reduction. For example, greenhouse gas emissions in 2021 have already been reduced by more than 40% compared to 2019. In addition, Aves One AG has set itself the goal of reducing its corporate carbon footprint by two-thirds in 2030 compared to 2019.

In order to further reduce its carbon footprint and exemplify social responsibility, CO2 equivalents (CO2e) for the years 2020 and 2021 amounting to 492.124 t CO2e have been offset by supporting a climate project in the Virunga National Park in the Democratic Republic of Congo. By offsetting its operational emissions, Aves One AG is is climate-neutral for the years 2020 to 2022 and will also be climate-neutral for the year 2023.

The hydro-power project in the Virunga National Park harnesses the flows of the Rutshuru River to generate sustainable energy in the small Matebe hydro-power plant. With an output of 13 megawatts, the plant generates clean electricity for households and small businesses. The population has an alternative to expensive kerosene and to traded charcoal. Approximately four million inhabitants thus receive access to electricity for the first time. In addition, the hydro-power plant provides electricity for street lighting in the surrounding villages, thus ensuring greater safety after dark.

Environment

On track to the climate goal

Transport by rail is comparatively environment and climate friendly, as rail emissions are demonstrably many times lower than those from road transport, aviation and shipping. This makes it one of the most sustainable forms of freight and passenger transport. With its increasing focus on the rail segment, Aves One is making a significant contribution to the growth of national and international rail freight. It contributes to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the United Nations. Sustainable transport promotes SDG Goal 11, "Sustainable Cities and Communities". At the same time, it also contributes to the climate goals of the European Union, which aims to be climate neutral by 2050, for example.
