System Boundaries
Cradle-to-Customer plus End-of-Life
It outlines the product lifecycle stages considered for achieving carbon neutrality. It encompasses material sourcing and preprocessing, manufacturing, distribution to the first customer, and the product's end-of-life phase. This comprehensive boundary setting ensures a full assessment of the product's carbon impact from its beginning to disposal or recycling, promoting a thorough understanding and management of its environmental footprint.
Measure
Carbon Footprint
The corporate carbon footprint (CCF) serves as the foundational step for engaging in climate-related actions. It offers a comprehensive view of a company's greenhouse gas emissions, enabling you to pinpoint major sources of emissions and accordingly devise strategies to reduce the environmental impact.
Result (in CO₂ equivalents):
1.121.000 kg for event participants
4.113.000 kg for festival venue emissions
Included Scopes
See included scopes at Operational boundaries.
Scope 1 emissions encompass all direct greenhouse gas emissions under a company's control, such as emissions from fuel used in company vehicles.
Scope 2 covers indirect emissions from purchased energy sources, such as the electricity a company buys and uses.
Scope 3 encompasses indirect emissions associated with a company's operations, which can include elements like employee commuting, logistics, and the manufacturing of the materials they use.
Reduce
Targets
Establishing reduction targets is a crucial element of a company's climate action strategy. These targets provide clear guidelines on the specific areas, scope, and timeline for implementing reduction measures.

Carbon Reporting Aligned with Key Sustainability Standards & Frameworks
Contributions
Making a financial climate contribution implies that a thorough assessment of the carbon footprint for a company, product, service, or event has been conducted, and, based on this evaluation, support has been provided to a certified climate project to offset the calculated emissions. This financial support directly contributes to sustainability efforts by balancing out the environmental impact through targeted climate action initiatives. The offset contributions amount by the company is:
5,234,000 kg CO2e
Climate Contribution Description
Carbon Neutral
Carbon neutrality means achieving a balance between the carbon dioxide released into the atmosphere and the amount removed by carbon sinks. In essence, it involves reducing emissions as much as possible and compensating for any remaining emissions by investing in or creating carbon sinks like forests, soils, and oceans that can absorb carbon dioxide.
Achieving carbon neutrality means a company, product, service, or event has had its carbon footprint thoroughly assessed under the guidelines of the Carbonze Protocol. Based on this evaluation, financial support is directed to a recognized climate initiative, effectively balancing out the calculated carbon emissions through impactful environmental projects. This process ensures a commitment to sustainability by neutralizing the carbon impact associated with various activities or offerings.
Carbon Zero
Carbon zero or net-zero typically encompasses a company's direct emissions (like heating, vehicles, and leaks), emissions from purchased energy (e.g., electricity), and indirect emissions from activities such as business travel and employee commuting. However, it usually excludes emissions beyond the company's immediate influence, such as those related to raw material extraction, production, external logistics, product usage, and disposal, unless specified otherwise.
Climate Projects
This company allocates funds to certified climate projects for offsetting specific emissions levels. These projects are subject to regular audits by independent third parties and contribute to the attainment of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
All climate projects supported by Carbonze adhere to rigorous criteria established by globally recognized international standards. These projects are subject to regular independent monitoring and audits to ensure compliance and effectiveness.
Communicate
Certificate
A crucial aspect of a company's climate action initiative is to make its goals and accomplishments transparent. The Carbonze Certificate serves as a vital tool for businesses to openly share their climate data and actions with their customers, ensuring full accessibility and transparency.
Label
Organizations achieving Carbonze certification must use the official label design provided by Carbonze, ensuring brand consistency and integrity.
Sustainability Qnique Profile
Each certified initiative is distinguished by its own Carbonze Sustainability Unique Profile (SUP). This SUP connects to a specific webpage that details the entity's fulfillment of our certification requirements, enhancing the transparency and accountability of its environmental initiatives. Publicly accessible through a unique URL, the SUP page offers insight into the organization's commitment to sustainability.
