In line with the B Corp philosophy, to celebrate 50 years of activity, Pasticceria Filippi embarked on a journey in 2022 to calculate the CO2 emissions produced by the company's activities.We want to transparently share every step we take to stay true to our values.So, let's start with this word: CARBON NEUTRALITY
Carbon neutral refers to companies, processes, and products whose calculated CO2 emissions have been offset through support for internationally recognized climate protection projects. In addition to reducing carbon dioxide emissions, their compensation is another important step toward global climate protection. Greenhouse gases, such as CO2, are evenly distributed in the atmosphere, so their concentration is uniform across the Earth. Therefore, where emissions are produced on the planet is inconsequential. However, locally inevitable emissions can be offset elsewhere through climate protection projects.
In 2022, we achieved our first goal, which was to become a 100% Carbon Neutral Company.How did we manage this?Supported by the expertise and commitment of Progesto SRL and ClimatePartner, we were able to calculate emissions from our business activities: from gas and electricity consumption to the purchase and disposal of materials for our operations, and even the carbon dioxide produced by our employees on their journey to Pasticceria Filippi, to give an example.

We have always believed in it
"We have always believed in it, from the beginning. It's not just about making an excellent product; if you realize that your work can create something good for the world, for society, for people, then there can be growth and continuous evolution." Andrea Filippi -
Mataven Forest in Colombia
To offset our emissions, we have embraced a climate protection project dedicated to the Mataven Forest in Colombia.This initiative, representing the largest REDD+ project in Colombia, protects 1,150,200 hectares of tropical rainforest and preserves its biodiversity. It provides education, healthcare, healthcare facilities, food security, and other social benefits for 16,000 people. The project works closely with communities to improve living conditions and stimulate sustainable economic growth. The project takes a holistic approach to bring about lasting change in favor of a sustainable economy and nature protection. It contributes to the protection of indigenous territories, encouraging autonomous community administration, better territory monitoring, and improved communication and transportation systems. Furthermore, it helps enhance food self-sustainability for six different ethnic groups.
Environmental commitment
In the name of the B Corp philosophy, to celebrate 50 years of activity, Pasticceria Filippi undertook a process in 2022 to calculate the CO2 emissions produced by the company's activities.
We are keen to clearly share every step taken to be faithful to our values.
So let's start with this word:
CARBON NEUTRALITY
Carbon neutral are companies, processes and products whose calculated CO2 emissions have been offset through the support of internationally recognized climate protection projects. In addition to reducing carbon dioxide emissions, offsetting them is
another important step for global climate protection. Greenhouse gases, such as CO2, spread uniformly in the atmosphere; therefore, their concentration is uniform throughout the Earth and, for this reason, it is irrelevant where the emissions
are produced on the planet. However, locally unavoidable emissions can be compensated for elsewhere through climate protection projects.
In 2022 we achieved the first goal, which is to become a 100% Carbon Neutral company. How did we do it?
Supported by the expertise and commitment of Progesto SRL and ClimatePartner, we were able to calculate the emissions produced by company activities: from the consumption of gas and electricity, to the purchase of materials to carry out our business
and their disposal up to - to do an example - to the carbon dioxide produced by our employees on the way to Pasticceria Filippi.
“We have always believed in it, from the beginning, it's not just about making an excellent product: if you understand that with your work you can create something good for the world, for society, for people, then there can be growth and continuous
evolution.”
