FOSTERING CONNECTIONS Our connection to the Earth Two interdependent pillars: Climate Mitigation and adaptation The carbon revolution is underway and VIVESCIA Group is taking it seriously with an ambitious strategy. Reducing our emissions, adapting our agricultural systems, and finding carbon sinks… Climate change is a systemic challenge that requires us to change how we think, to innovate, and to design new forms of cooperation within our agri-food chain. Mitigation: a roadmap that is aligned with the Science-Based Target Initiative (SBTi)* % GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS The Environmental -14 (INTENSITY) BETWEEN 2015 AND 2022 Management Charter… GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS %(IN ABSOLUTE TERMS) -26 BETWEEN 2015 AND 2022 Beyond our commitments to the climate, TO FIND OUT MORE ABOUT biodiversity and agro-ecology, we decided to OUR ENVIRONMENTAL CHARTER, SCAN THE QR CODE create a framework of ambitious and robust VIVESCIA’s ambition to reduce its carbon environmental principles that will apply to footprint is not new.
