Le climat étant au cœur de nos préoccupations, nous nous engageons à compenser les émissions inévitables de gaz à effet de serre de toutes les livraisons et de tous les retours effectués sur Swarovski.com. Nous le faisons en soutenant une sélection de projets d'action climatique, vérifiés et de haute qualité, par l'intermédiaire de notre partenaire South Pole. Contrairement à d’autres entreprises, nous ne demandons pas à nos clients de payer un supplément pour la compensation, nous en assumons nous-mêmes le coût total.

À l'avant-garde de la décarbonisation depuis 2006, South Pole développe des stratégies globales qui transforment l'action climatique en opportunités commerciales à long terme pour les entreprises, les gouvernements et les organisations du monde entier. South Pole est également leader dans le développement de projets, et a développé à date près de 1000 projets destinés aux énergies renouvelables, à la filière bois, à l'agriculture, à l'industrie, aux ménages et aux institutions publiques dans plus de 50 pays. Grâce au financement climatique, South Pole a permis de réduire les émissions de CO2 de plus d'une gigatonne, d'offrir des avantages sociaux aux communautés les moins privilégiées et particulièrement vulnérables au changement climatique, et de créer près de 100000 emplois dans les pays en développement.

Notre stratégie pour la réduction des gaz à effet de serre

Title:
Au coeur de nos actions, la compensation des émissions par l’investissement dans des projets certifiés pour le climat fait partie de nos priorités. Notre adhésion au programme SBTi (Science Based Targets initiative) fait également partie intégrante de notre stratégie pour le climat. L’année dernière, nous nous sommes engagés à réduire de 47 % nos émissions de gaz à effet de serre absolues de niveaux 1 et 2, et de 28 % nos émissions de niveau 3, d'ici 2030. 

Aujourd’hui - avec 2019 comme année de référence - nous avons déjà réduit de 12 % nos émissions de niveaux 1 et 2 et de 26 % nos émissions de niveau 3. Nous continuons à investir significativement dans nos méthodes de fabrication et de distribution, dans nos processus et nos politiques afin d’accélérer la réduction de nos émissions, en conformité avec l’Accord de Paris 2015.

Une stratégie globale pour le climat suppose un spectre large d’actions, de la réduction, au retrait en passant par la compensation.
En parallèle de notre plan de réduction ambitieux et de nos projets en faveur du climat avec South Pole, nous venons de signer un contrat de 5 ans avec Climeworks afin de capturer le CO2 directement dans l’atmosphère (en savoir plus ici).
Nous pensons que toutes les solutions climat sont pertinentes et complémentaires à la condition qu’elles soient certifiées et cumulées intelligemment. Il est donc essentiel pour nous d’exploiter toutes les solutions à notre disposition. C’est pourquoi, avec South Pole, nous avons sélectionné 3 projets clés qui nous permettent de diversifier notre impact, à la fois sur la protection de la biodiversité, dans le captage de biogaz mais aussi concernant l’hydroélectricité.

Huóshuĭ Küçük Hidroelektrik Santralleri

Title:

Çin’in merkezden uzak dağ toplulukları için temiz enerji

Subtitle:
Kurucumuz Daniel Swarovski, bir asırdan fazla bir süre önce bile suyun gücünden yararlanmaktaydı: “Herkes için bir elmas” yaratma vizyonuyla patentini aldığı öğütme işlemleri için hidroelektrikten yararlanmak amacıyla Wattens’te (Tirol, Avusturya) bir kristal kesim fabrikası kurdu.​

Benzer şekilde Çin’in dağlık bölgelerindeki güçlü nehirler; uzaktaki topluluklar ve daha büyük alanlar için elektrik üretmek üzere kullanılabilir ancak hidroelektrik santrallerin kurulması için önemli yatırımlar gerekir. Projeden önce yerel topluluklar kötü yaşam koşulları altında hayatlarını sürdürmekteydi. Çin’de enerji talebinin %80’inin kömürle çalışan elektrik santralleri tarafından karşılandığı bir dönemde bu toplulukların elektriğe erişimi güvenilir değildi ve çok az bölgesel yatırım vardı.

Huóshuĭ Küçük Hidroelektrik, 95 küçük hidroelektrik santralinden oluşmaktadır. Kapasiteleri 0,1 ile 14 MW arasında değişen küçük ölçekli santrallerin tamamı, Çin’de her yıl yarım milyondan fazla eve güç sağlamak için yeterli yenilenebilir enerji üretmektedir. Nehir tipi tasarım, bunu minimum çevresel etkiyle gerçekleştirmelerine olanak tanımaktadır.
  • Proje standartları: SocialCarbon, VCS Onaylı Karbon Standardı

Etkiler:
  • Her yıl 369.000 ton CO2e (karbondioksit eş değerleri) azaltıldı (SKA13).
  • Yılda 740.000 MWh yenilenebilir enerji üretildi (SKA7).
  • Birleşmiş Milletler Sürdürülebilir Kalkınma Amaçları (SKA) 4, 5 ve 8’e katkı yapıldı.

Rimba Raya Biyoçeşitlilik Rezervi

Title:

Borneo’nun tropikal turba bataklık ormanlarını korumak ve yerel yaşamları iyileştirmek

Subtitle:

Endonezya’nın Borneo adasındaki Orta Kalimantan bölgesinde yer alan Rimba Raya turba bataklık ormanları, eşsiz biyoçeşitliliğiyle dikkat çekiyor. Proje hayata geçmeden önce, bu zengin tropikal alanların palm yağı üretimi için yok edilmesi planlanıyordu.

Rimba Raya Biyoçeşitlilik Rezervi, yerel korucuların yanı sıra uydu ve hava görüntüleriyle izlenen 91.215 hektarlık zengin, tropikal turba bataklık ormanlarını korumaktadır. Ekosistem çeşitliliğini ve Borneo orangutanı gibi nesli tükenmekte olan türlerin yaşam alanlarını korumanın yanı sıra bu proje, palm yağı üretimi için 47.000 hektardan fazla ormanda planlı ormansızlaşmayı önleyerek emisyonu azaltmıştır.

Rimba Raya projesi yalnızca karbonu hapsetmek ve bölgedeki doğal yaşam habitatını korumakla kalmayıp özellikle çevre eğitimi ve ekonomik kapasite geliştirme konularında yerel sürdürülebilir kalkınmayı da teşvik etmektedir.

Proje standartları:

  • İklim, Topluluk ve Biyoçeşitlilik (CCB) Standartları (Verra)
  • VCS Onaylı Karbon Standardı (Verra)


Etkiler:

  • 2.162 su filtresi dağıtıldı.
  • 47.237 hektar koruma altına alındı.
  • 3.500.000 ton CO2e azaltıldı.

Lan Dokmai Waste-to-energy​

Title:

Reducing climate impacts and helping with sustainable biogas​

Subtitle:

Thailand is one of the largest producers of Tapioca starch, which forms an important part of the economy. Unfortunately, starch production is a carbon-intensive process that not only damages the environment but also produces strong-smelling methane emissions from the wastewater that affect the quality of life in surrounding areas.​

Rather than allowing the methane to escape freely into the atmosphere, the project captures the gas in order to produce clean electricity. This electricity powers production at the local starch factory; as a result, the air is cleaner and less fossil fuel needs to be purchased. This means that revenue can be generated to support social and educational activities in the community.​

With less methane emissions, the quality of the air surrounding the plant has improved dramatically. In addition to this, new jobs and training opportunities for modern technologies are provided by the project. The treated wastewater is much cleaner and can be used for fish farming and irrigation of nearby fields, even the wastewater sludge is given to farmers and recycled for fertilizer.​

Just like the renowned Carbon Dioxide (CO2), Methane (CH4) is also a greenhouse gas (GHG), so its presence in the atmosphere affects the earth’s temperature and climate system. Methane is emitted from a variety of anthropogenic (human-influenced) and natural sources. Methane is the second most abundant anthropogenic GHG after carbon dioxide, accounting for about 20% of global emissions, and is also more than 25 times as potent as carbon dioxide at trapping heat in the atmosphere. Therefore, reducing methane emissions has a significant effect on limiting global warming.

Project standards:
•    Gold Standard (WWF)
•    CDM Clean Development Mechanism (UN FCCC)

Impacts:​

  • 20,000 tonnes of CO2e
  • 2,100 m2 of cleaned wastewater
  • 2,200 litres of fossil fuels saved

Frequently Asked Questions

What are carbon credits and how do they work?

Carbon credits are measurable, verifiable emission reductions from certified climate action projects. These projects reduce, remove or avoid greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. But they also bring a whole host of other positive benefits, for example, they empower communities, protect ecosystems, restore forests or reduce reliance on fossil fuels.​

Projects must adhere to a rigorous set of criteria to pass verification by third-party agencies and a review by a panel of experts at a leading carbon offset standard like Verra or Gold Standard. After an organization or an individual buys a carbon credit, the credit is permanently retired so it can't be reused.

What makes a good climate action project?

The key is in the detail. High-quality carbon credits adhere to a strict set of standards. You can check this by ensuring the projects you invest in are registered with a third-party internationally-recognized verification standard, such as the Gold Standard, Verra's Verified Carbon Standard (VCS), Social Carbon and Climate, Community and Biodiversity Standards (CCBS), or standards verified by the UNFCCC. These standards also highlight additional benefits beyond carbon – all South Pole projects contribute to at least 3 of the UN's Sustainable Development Goals. This could be improving health, creating better education opportunities, improving wildlife conservation or even building sustainable communities.​

How do I know that the emission reductions are actually happening? What does additionality mean?

The ICROA-approved (International Carbon Reduction and Offset Alliance) verification standards all South Pole-related projects adhere to ensure that the project is real, verified, permanent and additional.​

For transparency, carbon credits are assigned serial numbers and are issued, transferred and permanently retired in publicly accessible emission registries.​

Additionality means that the reductions in emissions achieved by the project must be “above business as usual". That means they would not have happened unless the project was implemented. By purchasing high-quality and verified carbon credits you are directly funding climate action and sustainable development.

What are the different types of climate action projects?

Projects reduce or remove the amount of greenhouse gas in the atmosphere in at least one of three ways.​
  1. The first avoids greenhouse gas emissions, for example replacing fossil fuel-derived energy with energy from renewable sources.
  2. The second removes emissions from the atmosphere, for example, planting more trees, which sequester - or capture - carbon from the atmosphere and store it in liquid or solid form.​
  3. The third captures and destroys emissions, for example capturing methane–a GHG many times more potent than carbon dioxide–from wastewater.​

Our global partner South Pole has hundreds of different climate action projects, which cover the following areas:​
  1. Nature-based-solutions (reforestation, land restoration, forest protection, sustainable land management and agriculture)​
  2. Renewable energy (hydropower projects, wind projects, solar power and geothermal)​
  3. Community projects (improved cookstove technology, access to safe water)​
  4. Waste-to-energy (biogas from landfill or industry, and biomass).
