Carbon-neutrality

Carbon neutrality means keeping a balance between emitting carbon and absorbing it from the atmopsphere. Carbon-neutral production means that the CO2-emissions caused by Faber-Castell's own production sites worldwide are neutralised by the company's forests in Brazil. When talking about carbon-neutral products, the CO2 emissions of the input material, transport and production of one product line are considered in the calculation. Meanwhile there are different external partners to work with for the certification of carbon-neutral products. TThese partners calculate the amount of CO2 that is emitted for a particular product line and provide information of the offset-projects that can be chosen.

According to a study by TÜV Rheinland®, the company’s own forests absorb more than 900,000 tonnes of CO2 from the atmosphere. They simultaneously neutralise the CO2 emissions of Faber-Castell’s production sites throughout the world.
