Amazon Connection Carbon (ACC) has taken a significant step in environmental sustainability by certifying the 11th edition of Pará Negócios, taking place this Friday afternoon, with the carbon-neutral seal. This marks the first time that the event, renowned for bringing together small, medium, and large businesses from Pará, has invested in the neutralization of its greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. A notable feature of this initiative was the acquisition of carbon credits focused on energy.
The carbon-neutral seal is achieved through a detailed inventory of CO2 emissions, conducted by ACC in accordance with the GHG Protocol guidelines. This process quantifies the emissions generated by the event, enabling compensation through sustainable initiatives. ACC, with its "Neutralize" division, serves as a bridge between the sustainability needs of events and the positive impact on environmental preservation.
The decarbonization of Pará Negócios marks a significant milestone for events in the Northern region, fostering a culture of environmental responsibility and aligning with the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals. According to Waldner Bruno, Operations and Projects Manager at ACC, "Neutralizing an event of this magnitude reflects ACC's ability to directly impact sustainable development in Pará. We are paving the way for more events to follow this example."
The Importance of Emissions Inventories for Companies and Events
The greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions inventory is a crucial element in understanding and mitigating environmental impacts. Companies adopting this mechanism not only demonstrate social and environmental responsibility, but also align with global demands for sustainable practices. ACC, by offering services that range from quantification to the compensation of emissions, aims to make the transition to carbon neutrality accessible.
Furthermore, ACC's 'Neutralize' sector is poised for significant growth as it expands partnerships and neutralizes medium to large-scale events and businesses. This commitment strengthens the positive impact on both local and global value chains.
GHG Protocol Recognition: Silver Certification
ACC's trajectory of excellence has also been recognized by the GHG Protocol 2023, with the achievement of the Silver Certification for emissions inventories. This recognition serves as a testament to ACC's commitment and technical expertise in leading innovative initiatives in the sustainability sector.
The partnership between ACC and Pará Negócios serves as a prime example of the potential that local businesses have to lead the preservation of the Amazon and implement practices that strengthen the region's economic and environmental ecosystem. The event's carbon-neutral certification demonstrates how local initiatives can generate global impacts, positioning the Amazon as a symbol of sustainable innovation.
The carbon-neutral label for the 11th edition of Pará Negócios is a call for bolder actions in the fight against climate change. Through services such as those provided by ACC, sustainability becomes an attainable reality, reinforcing the commitment to the planet's future.
Together, we can transform Pará into a global model of sustainability.
