At United Barcode Systems, we reaffirm our commitment to sustainability and the fight against climate change. That is why we are proud to announce that we have obtained the Carbon Footprint Calculation Seal, awarded by the Ministry for the Ecological Transition and the Demographic Challenge (MITERD).
This recognition, registered in the Carbon Footprint, Compensation, and CO₂ Absorption Projects Registry, certifies that we have measured and recorded our greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, demonstrating our commitment to transparency and continuous environmental improvement.
What is the Carbon Footprint Calculation Seal from MITERD?
The Carbon Footprint Seal is an official recognition awarded by MITERD, which certifies an organization's efforts to measure, reduce, and compensate its greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. It is part of the Carbon Footprint, Compensation, and CO₂ Absorption Projects Registry, regulated by Royal Decree 163/2014.
The seal is structured into three levels:
•CALCULATION: Indicates that the organization has measured its GHG emissions and officially registered them.
•REDUCTION: Recognizes the reduction of emissions compared to previous years.
•COMPENSATION: Certifies the compensation of emissions through CO₂ absorption projects.
At this stage, United Barcode Systems has obtained the CALCULATION seal, meaning we have conducted an in-depth analysis of our carbon footprint and taken a key step in the responsible management of our emissions.
Benefits of obtaining the Carbon Footprint Seal
✔️ Commitment to the environment: Demonstrates a genuine effort to reduce environmental impact and actively contribute to the fight against climate change.
✔️ Awareness and internal improvement: The measurement process helps identify optimization opportunities and promotes more sustainable practices within the organization.
✔️ Differentiation and recognition: Being part of the MITERD Carbon Footprint Registry is a sustainability distinction valued by clients, partners, and society in general.
✔️ Contribution to climate goals: This recognition aligns with global strategies to reduce emissions and transition towards a more sustainable and environmentally friendly economy.
Looking ahead
At United Barcode Systems, this achievement is just the beginning. We will continue working on the reduction of our carbon footprint, aiming to achieve the next levels of the seal (REDUCTION and COMPENSATION) by implementing strategies to minimize our emissions and actively contribute to CO₂ absorption.
We firmly believe that the future of the industry lies in sustainability, and we will continue to innovate and commit to a more responsible business model.
