Clima Our Commitment to a Sustainable Future

• What is Clima?
• Clima is our strategic climate partner they
  measure our emissions (carbon footprint), give us
  advice on how to reduce them, and what we cant
  reduce they offset it by investing in carbon
  projects.

3

• Why have we partnered with Clima?
• We are working with Clima because we understand
  that our operations contribute to the global
  carbon footprint and we need to act if we want
  reduce the impacts of climate change and achieve
  net zero emissions by 2050.

4

• What is a net-zero world?
• A net-zero world is a state where greenhouse gas
  emissions are balanced by an equivalent amount of
  removal or offsetting. It means that no
  additional carbon is added to the atmosphere,
  thus limiting global warming and the impacts of
  climate change.

5

• What is a carbon offset?
• A carbon offset is a way to compensate for
  greenhouse gas emissions by funding projects that
  reduce or remove emissions elsewhere. Carbon
  offset projects can include renewable energy,
  reforestation, and energy efficiency initiatives.
  These projects also have additional ESG impacts.

6

• What is carbon footprint?
• A carbon footprint is the total amount of
  greenhouse gas emissions caused by an individual,
  organisation, event, or product, expressed in
  units of carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e). When
  measuring our carbon footprint, we can set our
  own boundaries.

7

• What does going carbon neutral mean?
• Going carbon neutral means achieving ? net-zero
  carbon emissions by balancing the amount of
  carbon released into the atmosphere with an
  equivalent amount of carbon removed or offset.

8

• How does it work?
• Measure Conduct a carbon audit to determine
  current level of emissions produced by our
  business activities.
• Reduce Implement strategies to reduce our
  carbon footprint.
• Offset Purchase carbon offsets to compensate
  for the remaining emissions.

9

• Projects What projects is iKeep supporting?
• Floresta Verde Brazil
• Reforestation project aims to preserve a
  critical region of the eastern Amazon biome which
  is at high deforestation risk.

10

• High Efficiency Wood Burning Cookstoves Malawi,
  South-Eastern Africa
• Promotes the use of improves cookstoves these
  cookstoves are fuel-efficient, allowing for a
  significant reduction in the amount of wood
  needed for cooking. It also improves air quality
  in confined cooking spaces.

11

• Mai Ndombe Democratic Republic of the Congo
• Conservation initiative aims to protect 300,000
  hectares of rainforest and wetland habitat, home
  to endangered species like bonobos and forest
  elephants, by reducing deforestation. This
  project also improves the lives of local
  communities by enhancing food security and
  improving education.

• Ghani Solar Renewable Power India
• Solar farm displaces energy powered by fossil
  fuels while improving air quality due to the
  reduction of pollutants. It also creates job
  opportunities for local communities and provides
  access to inexpensive and reliable power.
