Exportadora El Parque's Sustainability Initiatives

Exportadora El Parque is measuring their carbon footprint in some of their supplier farms for the first time. With these results Exportadora El Parque will suggest strategies for reducing their footprint in the medium and long term. In Chile, where the main source of emissions is from Scope 2 (electricity use), certificates are available that guarantee that this energy comes from non-polluting renewable sources. In Peru they are in the process of implementing greater efforts to reduce fertilizer use, without affecting the orchard yield.

Energy Wise

100% of the electricity used on Exportadora El Parque’s related farms in Chile is from non-polluting renewable sources.

Water Wise

Exportadora El Parque has modern precision irrigation systems, which allows them to make efficient use of every drop of available water.

Promoting Soil Health

In the interest of protecting soil health, Exportadora El Parque maintains avocado leaf litter, this plays an essential role in nutrient cycling, moisture levels and general soil wellness.

Promoting Biodiversity

Exportadora El Parque has implemented ways to protect biodiversity such as set aside a percentage of the land for conservation, reforested ravines, and makes use of Integrated Pest Management (IPM).

All about the

CARBON HEROES QR CODE

Through this digital recognition platform, we celebrate the Carbon Heroes taking part in the Confronting Climate Change (CCC) Initiative for their considerable effort in calculating and understanding their carbon emissions.

Each Carbon Hero has their own digital QR code that can be displayed on their website and other marketing material, linking directly to their individual profile on the Carbon Heroes website.

The QR code provides a simple and innovative way for customers to learn about each Carbon Hero’s carbon offsetting and other sustainability initiatives, as well as engage with them on social media and other marketing channels.

With the Carbon Heroes QR code we aim to support a global transition towards sustainable development by recognising and celebrating the positive environmental impact of each Carbon Hero. By having a transparent display of their commitment to reducing emissions, Carbon Heroes demonstrate their dedication to a sustainable future, while building trust in their brand.

Carbon Heroes is a recognition platform built on the ethos of transparency and trust. While only emissions datasets graded by Blue North qualify for the platform, we do not independently verify all the information our Heroes choose to post. By signing up to the platform each Carbon Hero acknowledges that they are responsible for the information they share and that, by sharing their sustainability credentials, their information is in the public domain and open to be scrutinised. We welcome such scrutiny. We have a clear set of guidelines for the use of the platform and the qualification for the various digital labels, and reserve the right to revoke the use of the platform where it is found these guidelines are not being followed and/or the information posted is misaligned with the stated ethos. Thank you for helping us maintain the integrity of the Carbon Heroes platform and our efforts to promote greater transparency and sustainability.
