The Biodiversity Foundation has registered its carbon footprint for 2013 in the National Register of Carbon Footprint, Compensation and Carbon Dioxide Absorption Project created by the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and the Environment with Royal Decree 163/2014, of 14 March 2014. Knowledge of the carbon footprint allows the organization to take measures aimed at reducing it or offsetting it.

By registering the footprint, the Foundation has provided an improvement plan specifying the actions to be carried out to reduce emissions. The plan includes the percentage of reduction and the period in which it plans to do so. In this regard, the Foundation has taken the following measures during 2014 to reduce GHG emissions from its activity: contracting a company to market 100% clean electricity of exclusively renewable origin, installation of presence sensors in bathrooms and kitchens; replacement of printers with others with lower energy consumption; programming of the printers to print in black and white and double-sided; as well as inform its employees about the Environmental Management System and the measures to be implemented to reduce energy and resource consumption (water, paper, toner, etc.).

Currently, in addition to the different actions to reduce the carbon footprint, the Foundation is studying the possibility of offsetting it. The aforementioned Royal Decree also has a section in which to register the compensation of the carbon footprint, which can be done through CO2 absorption projects registered in the register or CO2 absorption projects carried out by a third party and recognised by the Ministry of Agriculture. Food and Environment.
