Hybrid Software has partnered with Ecologi to offset its carbon footprint.
Since October 2021 Hybrid Software has been working towards compensating for the environmental footprint of its employees in their work and personal lives. The group is implementing policies to reduce Scope 1 and Scope 2 footprint such as sourcing renewable energy and low-carbon travel, and is talking with supply chains to measure and push down on Scope 3 carbon footprint. Through the partnership with Ecologi – a platform that facilitates the funding of carbon offset projects and tree planting around the world – Hybrid Software now offsets the carbon footprint of all its employees, whether at home or at work.
To date the group has offset 655 tonnes of CO2e and contributed to environmental projects across the globe, such as solar power generation in Tamil Nadu and Telangana, India, and using waste biomass to produce electricity in Chile.
Chairman Guido Van der Schueren said: “As a board we are very aware of our responsibilities towards the environment and to our employees. Driving sustainability goals through the business is not only the right thing to do for future generations but it makes good business sense too. For instance, in many of our key growth markets, such as packaging and textiles, environmental factors are influencing how those markets develop. Improving our environmental credentials shows our commitment to the expansion of these markets as they continue to transition towards digital production.”
