Astarta, the EBRD and EY have developed a climate corporate governance system for the company. This comprehensive action plan includes improving greenhouse gas emissions calculation for Scope 1-3, analysing climate scenarios, identifying physical and transitional climate risks, and developing a decarbonisation strategy.
It is reported by press center of the company.
On November 7th, Astarta’s Board of Directors adopted the decarbonisation strategy.
The practical component of the strategy includes scaling up regenerative farming practices, improving energy efficiency, and using alternative energy sources.
