FOR THE ENVIRONMENT
CARBON NEUTRAL
In 2021, we offset emissions
from all our activities
C6 Bank received the carbon neutral seal from
Carbonext for offsetting the emissions resulting
from its operation in 2021. During the year, the
companies of Carbon Holding, a group of which the
bank is a part, emitted 1,115 tons of CO2 and offset
all of them with the acquisition of carbon credits
generated by the preservation of areas of the
Amazon Rainforest.
The GHG Protocol (Greenhouse Gas Control)
classifies greenhouse gas emissions into three
groups. Scope 1 includes direct emissions caused
by the company; scope 2 is the indirect emissions
resulting from energy production, which include the
consumption of electricity,
steam, heat, and cooling;
and scope 3 includes all
other indirect emissions,
which occur outside the
organization, but arise from
its activities.

NATURE & FUTURE
In addition to the traditional variables (effluents,
energy, and waste) provided for in scopes 1 and 2,
the calculation of Carbon Holding's annual carbon
footprint included some scope 3 emissions, such as
business travel and employee commuting.
The forest preservation project that generates the
offset credits is managed by Carbonext, a pioneer
in the development of REDD+ (Reducing Emissions
from Deforestation and Forest Degradation)
projects in 39,000 hectares in the Amazon. These
are areas at risk of deforestation that receive
incentives for the bioeconomy and protect their
biodiversity. Through the sale of carbon credits, the
company returns to the forest 70% of the income
generated by the sale of credits for defense and
monitoring, also contributing to the benefit and
development of the local population.
This is the second time that the group has offset the
entirety of its annual emissions. The carbon credits
for the year 2020 were offset in the same way, but
contributing to another region of the Amazon.
Reduce clients' carbon footprint
To complete the initiative, we started offering
carbon credits on the C6 Store, the marketplace
on the bank's app. With this, our clients gainedView entire presentation
