Carbon Accounting & Offsetting
In dairy
Numidia assesses its greenhouse gas emissions across scope 1, scope 2 and selected scope 3 categories, with a focus on carbon dioxide and carbon dioxide equivalents (CO₂‑eq).
This assessment covers emissions from company operations such as office energy use, business travel and employee commuting (scope 1 and 2), as well as emissions related to the transportation of products (by ship or truck) and third‑party warehousing, including storage and freezing (scope 3). For those emissions for which Numidia holds responsibility, Numidia offsets 100% of the associated emissions using carbon credits from verified standards such as VCS or Gold Standard. For scope 1 and scope 2 emissions, Numidia aims to use carbon offset programs that have a positive impact on the dairy supply chain.
In addition, Numidia calculates upstream scope 3 emissions generated by farmers and producers of its purchased products. These emissions are assessed to support transparency and insight into the value chain, but are not included in Numidia’s carbon footprint and are not offset, as they fall outside Numidia’s responsibility.
