Compensation as a step to net zero

Copenhagen Airports' primary focus is to eliminate emissions from our own operations but where our mitigation efforts may be insufficient, we use climate compensation. Essentially it means compensating for own CO₂ (and equivalent) emissions by financially supporting a project elsewhere, which either avoids an emission or actively removes it from the atmosphere. We have now chosen to invest solely in removal credits.

To reach our goal of net zero in scope 1 and 2 by 2030, removal credits will account for a maximum of 10 % of our emissions. A Danish company, Klimate, will provide the removal credits, based on two agroforestry projects in respectively, Nepal and India.
