The Danske Bank Group pursues energy-saving measures, optimises its energy installations and holds virtual meetings instead of travelling. But there will still be CO2 emissions from electricity, heating and transport. In order to offset the CO2 emissions that cannot be eliminated, the Group has purchased carbon credits that create real CO2 emissions reductions.
In the period from 2009 to 2011, we have chosen to invest in four verified carbon credit projects in India, Lithuania and Turkey. The projects both reduce CO2 emissions and promote development in the host countries.
