MS again neutralizes the CO2 emissions of its Yearly Meeting

For the second year in a row, the Firm's Yearly Meeting was carbon neutral, in line with its commitment to contribute to the reduction of CO2 emissions

 

On the one hand, we have worked to reduce and minimize the emissions generated by the event (the largest organized by the firm in terms of size and scope). On the other hand, we offset the unavoidable emissions by planting 288 trees in Caminomorisco (Cáceres, Spain). These trees will allow the carbon footprint of the event to be removed from the atmosphere in a very short time.

The Management Solutions forest in Caminomorisco now has a total of 522 trees of native species such as pines, strawberry trees and cork oaks, which will absorb more than 130 tons of CO₂ from the atmosphere. This plantation (recognized by the Spanish Climate Change Office) was carried out with the Repsol Foundation's Green Engine program in an area affected by fire in 2012 and has had a triple positive impact: social, by creating local employment and helping vulnerable groups; economic, by generating activity in the Las Hurdes region; and, of course, environmental, by recovering forest area and biodiversity and achieving a total carbon capture equivalent to the emissions generated by the events.
