What is Climate Neutrality

A state in which human activities result in no net effect on the climate system. Requires balancing of residual greenhouse gas emissions with reductions or removals. All Climate Neutral Certified brands must meet climate neutrality standards for measuring, offsetting, and reducing greenhouse gas emissions from making and delivering products and services.

This certification covers business activities and operations for the following brands :

Emissions from energy used in buildings, fleets, and equipment.

14 tCO2e

GHG Scope 2 ?

24 tCO2e

GHG Scope 3 ?
GHG Protocol Scope 3

Emissions from raw materials, manufacturing, shipping, air travel, and other activities in the supply chain.

612 tCO2e

Total Emissions ?
Total Carbon Emissions

The sum of Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions.

650 tCO2e

02 Offset

Dimagi invested in projects outside of their value chain to compensate for all of their measured carbon emissions. This step supports their climate neutrality designation, and enables Dimagi to take responsibility for historical emissions that can’t be reduced.

This target is aligned with global trajectories to limit climate warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius.

Reduction Actions

Dimagi is implementing a Reduction Action Plan to reduce emissions from within its own operations and supply chain.

Current Year Reduction Actions

01

What We’re Reducing

Reduce emissions from data stored in AWS data centers. Data storage emissions (from AWS data centers) are currently from non-renewable energy sources. We will explore options for transitioning our data to a data center powered by renewable energy.

How We'll Reduce It

1. Deep dive the type of power used in our current data center 2. Identify options for setting up new instances in clean energy-powered facilities and/or moving data 3. Develop a CBA for moving data.

02

What We’re Reducing

We plan to reduce emissions from business travel by decreasing carbon emissions related to domestic and international travel.

How We'll Reduce It

1. Obtain input on which type of travel is most impactful and essential 2. Review travel policies and create a framework for consolidating travel 3. Research additional transportation options 4. Communicate updated policies across company
