Konftel

Sustainability Story

Reducing business travel to cut emissions, while also saving time and money, is in our DNA as a leading video conferencing company. But we came to a point where we wanted to do more, together with our partners and customers. So it was clearly an important step when Konftel was the first company in the collaboration devices sector to earn official Climate Neutral certification. Naturally our sustainability work needs to include even more aspects. More than 15 years ago we built our first Environmental Policy, focusing on product design and the supply chain. Today we are part of the Responsible Business Alliance through our parent company, to make sure we follow Codes for Conduct regarding our responsibility as an employer and product manufacturer.

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 :

01 Measure

Konftel measured Scope 1, 2 and 3 cradle-to-customer emissions following categories and approaches established in the Climate Neutral standards.

GHG Scope 1

GHG Protocol Scope 1

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

0 tCO2e

GHG Scope 3

GHG Protocol Scope 3

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

1,289 tCO2e

Total Emissions

Total Carbon Emissions

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

1,290 tCO2e

02 Offset

Konftel 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 Konftel to take responsibility for historical emissions that can’t be reduced.

Total Investment in Carbon Credits

$15,738

Konftel's credits came from:

Emissions Offset

Offset equivalency

For reference, reducing a footprint by 1000 tonnes is roughly equal to removing 230 passenger vehicles from the road for a year.
