Arkoslight Achieves “Carbon Neutral” Status

We are proud to share that Arkoslight has achieved “carbon neutral” status as a company. This milestone underscores our commitment to sustainability and to managing our environmental impacts more responsibly.
Why Did We Launch This Initiative, and How Did We Achieve It?
Achieving carbon neutrality is a central goal of Arkoslight’s sustainability strategy, which seeks to minimize the environmental impacts of our operations.
Solar panels installed in 2022 and expanded in 2024 have helped reduce electricity consumption by 15% over the past four years.
Our Quality and Environmental Policy also sets out commitments to continuous improvement, pollution prevention, and emissions control.
These efforts have reduced our vehicle fleet’s diesel consumption by more than 12% over two years, helping to minimize atmospheric emissions.
How Did We Validate Our Carbon Footprint?
Once data from the past four years had been compiled, the official Registry of the Ministry for Ecological Transition verified the calculations and published our carbon footprint results in its official listing, awarding Arkoslight the “Calculate, Reduce and Offset” seal.
How Was Our Carbon Footprint Calculated?
The calculation accounted for two categories of emissions:
- Scope 1: direct emissions from our own activities.
- Scope 2: indirect emissions linked to generating the electricity we consume.
What Makes Us a “Carbon Neutral” Company?
Our “Carbon Neutral” status comes from offsetting all the CO₂ emissions we generate.
We have offset 100% of our emissions (57 tonnes of CO₂eq) by purchasing carbon credits from a validated reforestation project.
The Reforestation Project We Supported:
The carbon credits we purchased come from a reforestation project in the municipality of Valdés, Asturias, SPAIN (code 2024-b440). Supported by Arkoslight, the project spans 5.37 hectares replanted with native pine trees.
This recognition reflects an approach grounded in transparency and responsibility, with emissions measurement and offsetting serving as essential tools for more sustainable development.
The progress is particularly meaningful as Arkoslight continues to grow, both in revenue and through the expansion of its headquarters in 2024, which marked the company’s 40th anniversary.
This achievement advances Arkoslight’s strategy, guided by a long-term decarbonization plan designed to maintain carbon emissions neutrality on an ongoing basis.
