🌍 World climate day: Bel’s commitment to a more sustainable future 🌍 We are proud to reaffirm our commitment to fighting for our planet. In February 2022, we set ourselves ambitious carbon reduction targets to keep global warming below +1.5°C, as adopted in the Paris Agreement by 196 countries at the UN Climate Change Conference (COP21). 🌱💧We are making a difference by promoting regenerative agriculture, reducing our environmental footprint, designing sustainable products, and encouraging plant-based diets. ♻️🥗 🎯Our top priority is reducing our emissions across the entire value chain, then sequestering residual, unavoidable emissions to contribute to global carbon neutrality. ✅ Progress so far: Since 2017, we have already achieved a 35% reduction in carbon emissions for Scopes 1 & 2 and a 9% reduction across the entire value chain. One of our innovative partnerships involves public and private actors working together to restore 40 peatlands in France (Jura) over the next 6 years. This project is a testament to our commitment to environmental restoration and carbon sequestration. We believe that every action matters. Together with our partners, stakeholders, and communities, we are shaping a sustainable future for generations to come. #ForAllForGood
