We have maintained the achievement of the Neutral CO2 seal of the Eccaplan sustainability consultancy since 2018, and we continue to effectively combat climate change on our planet!
n the 2019 inventory, we offset 27.65 tons of CO2, 34.7% of which are directly related to the use of fumigant in Phytosanitary Treatments.
We quantified, through the carbon emissions inventory, the amount of CO2 emitted in 2019 and offset the impact of our activities by acquiring carbon credits from the Salto Pilão / SC Hydroelectric Plant.

Salto Pilão / SC Hydroelectric Plant
Located in Lontras, Ibirama and Apiúna (Santa Catarina / Brazil), the Plant approximately avoids the emission of 290,876 tCO2 per year, as it is considered a substitution of a non-renewable energy source with renewable energy with low environmental impact and, also, for developing 24 environmental programs to preserve the region's natural wealth.
The location was chosen due to the opening of a new branch in the same state and, therefore, Real Marine chose to purchase carbon credits in the same location where it will have activities generating carbon debits.
For the sake of company transparency, we also make our emissions inventory available.
