Sustainability Story
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 :
Hilma achieved Climate Neutral Certification as part of 's certification process. 's measurement, offsetting and reduction plans fully account for Hilma's 2021 emissions
01 Measure
Hilma measured Scope 1, 2 and 3 cradle-to-customer emissions following categories and approaches established in the Climate Neutral standards.
GHG Protocol Scope 1
Emissions from energy used in buildings, fleets, and equipment.
tCO2e
GHG Protocol Scope 2
Emissions from electricity.
tCO2e
GHG Protocol Scope 3
Emissions from raw materials, manufacturing, shipping, air travel, and other activities in the supply chain.
11 tCO2e
Total Carbon Emissions
The sum of Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions.
11 tCO2e
02 Offset
Hilma 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 Hilma to take responsibility for historical emissions that can’t be reduced.
Total Investment in Carbon Credits
$44.00
Hilma's credits came from:
Forestry ?
Forestry
There are many types of forestry projects. Some protect forests from deforestation, while others to plant new trees to restore existing forests. Many projects do both.
Landfill Gas ?
Landfill Gas
Projects that capture methane gas from landfills to reduce emissions. The gas is then used to power local homes, providing a reliable local energy source.
Renewable Energy ?
Renewable Energy
Projects that help catalyze the development of renewable energy in order to reduce dependence on fossil fuels.
Cookstoves ?
Cookstoves
Projects that help communities replace inefficient wood-burning cookstoves with more efficient, safer models.
Offset equivalency
For reference, reducing a footprint by 1000 tonnes is roughly equal to removing 230 passenger vehicles from the road for a year.

03 Reduce
Hilma has set targets and identified actions to reduce their emissions from operations and their supply chain. These actions will enable Hilma to emit fewer emissions in the future.
Mid Term Targets
Hilma has committed to reducing emissions by .
This target is aligned with global trajectories to limit climate warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius.
Mid Term Targets
This target is aligned with global trajectories to limit climate warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius.
Reduction Actions
Hilma is implementing a Reduction Action Plan to reduce emissions from within its own operations and supply chain.
