Sustainability has been at the core of our business for more than 40 years. We offer equipment leasing with subsequent refurbishment in line with the principles of the resource-efficient circular economy. Sustainability is an ongoing process for us and we are continually expanding our commitment in this area. In this context, we understand sustainability as the intersection of the three dimensions of economy, ecology and society. A holistic view of all three sustainability dimensions is essential for CHG-MERIDIAN to operate successfully in the long term.
ACTING CARBON-NEUTRAL
Since 2021 CHG-MERIDIAN has been operating carbon-neutrally. To achieve this, we avoid, reduce, or offset all greenhouse gas emissions emissions generated in the course of our business activities.
CHG-MERIDIAN considers corporate emissions to include scope 1 and scope 2 emissions. However, it also feels responsible for certain scope 3 emissions. Our calculations take all emissions categories from the upstream value chain into account. In 2022, we got involved with the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) for the first time and disclosed transparent information to our customers about the methods we use to calculate our corporate emissions. All non-avoidable emissions are offset through selected climate change mitigation projects. We will carry on the measures introduced in recent years to reduce the CHG-MERIDIAN Group’s carbon footprint and will continue to refine them.
Our commitment to sustainability is underlined by our support of well-known initiatives, such as the UN Global Compact. Since 2021, the CHG-MERIDIAN Group has been committed to the corporate responsibility initiative and its 10 principles in the areas of human rights, labor, the environment and anti-corruption.
