Limecraft Achieves Carbon Neutral Certification

News Image
Media technology innovator Limecraft has achieved independently verified carbon neutral certification.

Following extensive consultation with a specialist external advisor, and using the Greenhouse Gas (GHG) protocol standard, Limecraft's carbon footprint for the fiscal year 2023 was 132.8 metric tons carbon dioxide equivalent. This included direct and indirect emissions.

In collaboration with the Belgian company GoForest, Limecraft has fully offset this figure and its operations are therefore carbon neutral. GoForest offers accessible and transparent solutions to plant trees around the world that have a positive ecological, social and economic impact.

"The broadcast-related media industry is focusing ever more strongly on environmental and sustainability issues as vendors and customers alike seek to minimise their environmental impact," said Maarten Verwaest, Limecraft co-founder. "We have already made some important changes to our own supply chain, including the company’s energy consumption. Our intention now is to reduce our emissions by a further 30% in 2026 despite an estimated business expansion rate of over 40% per year. We will achieve this through greater operational efficiency in terms of business travel optimisation, increased collaboration with sustainable cloud providers and a much more rigorous relationship with our own suppliers. Limecraft has have always taken its environmental and sustainability responsibilities very seriously and we are committed to improving our carbon neutrality policies wherever possible."

"Suppliers and vendors across the industry are increasingly being asked to prove their sustainability credentials," added Joris Claes, Limecraft CEO. "These discussions are quite rightly becoming a significant feature of the vendor selection process. We are very pleased to be contributing positively to the benefit of the media industry as a whole."
