R5 and Climate Partner

In 2022, our collaboration with Climate Partner was born. Collaboration that was created with them to help us calculate CO2 emissions to reduce them, implement climate action strategies, and offset our CO2 emissions through climate protection projects. ClimatePartner certification provides transparent disclosure of a company's entire climate action strategy, including carbon footprints, emission reduction targets, reductions implemented, and financial contribution to climate projects worldwide. All ClimatePartner certification information is contained in the ClimatePartner Protocol, which is always available on the Climate Partner website.

Why together?

You know us, we take sustainability seriously. Our goal is to create products with an increasingly smaller footprint, we would like to get to zero. In this we found ourselves fully in line with Climate Partner 's objectives: " A zero carbon emission product in every shopping cart ".

In 2022 we started our journey to reach Carbon Neutrality together with Climate Partner
, which will help us on this journey: that is, we are collecting all the data to measure our emissions exactly, commit to reducing them as much as possible and offset those that are necessarily not we will be able to reduce. However, we want to do it with a view to supporting social reforestation projects.

2023 - Assisted natural regeneration - Northern Highlands, Ethiopia

For the offset portion of CO2eq emitted directly from the production and distribution activities of our projects, we supported the “Assisted natural regeneration - Northern Highlands, Ethiopia” offset project.

The Ethiopian highlands are facing intense degradation and loss of biodiversity. For this reason, so-called “exclosures” have become increasingly important. In these areas, vegetation is regenerated and protected, and livestock and uncontrolled logging are not allowed. The protected area is constantly being expanded: in 2016 it covered about 540 hectares, since 2023 it has expanded to about 11,190 hectares. The more land is regenerated, the more CO2 can be stored in the vegetation and soil.

The project supports landless farmers in implementing soil and water conservation, plant enrichment, and applying improved management techniques. It also helps install distillation units for aromatic oil production and beehives for honey production. By building local capacity and providing free training on the sustainable use of these ecosystems, it improves the income of rural families of landless farmers and creates benefits for the entire community.

Concrete results - 2023

During 2023 we financed Assisted natural Regeneration Northern Highlands Ethiopia project for an amount of CO2 equivalent not only to our emissions (through carbon footprint calculation of 22 products), but through the 5% contribution on each of your orders we financed the same project to support offsetting an additional 363,873 kg of Co2 Equivalent.

2022 - The protection of Mataven forests in Colombia

In 2022 we supported the Mataven Forest Protection project in Colombia. This initiative, which is the largest REDD+* project in Colombia, protects 1,150,200 hectares of tropical rainforest and preserves its biodiversity. It provides education, health care, health facilities, food securityand other social benefits for16,000 people. The project works closely with communities to improve living conditions and stimulate sustainable economic growth.

The results in concrete 2022

It's a first step. We hope in these months to be able to have the exact measurement of our emissions to be able to offset them, but in the meantime we have started. Thanks to each of you. So this certificate is everything for us, you and us together. Because unity is strength, because sharing the same values ​​makes us even stronger, because we have the hope that children returning home from the cinema can associate Lyle's values ​​with ours and remember that small daily gestures are the basis of great things. changes.
