Since 2019, Mercator Medical has been diligently tracking its carbon footprint across all three scopes (Scope 1, 2, and 3). Employing the ISO-14064-1 standard and The GHG Protocol A Corporate Accounting and Reporting Standard ensures the accuracy and reliability of our carbon footprint calculations. Notably, our commitment to environmental sustainability is exemplified by the use of biomass for producing 100% of the necessary heat energy, resulting in a net impact on our carbon footprint that is effectively zero.This approach aligns with the current international convention, as outlined in the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's "2006 IPCC Guidelines for National Greenhouse Gas Inventories." The convention stipulates that carbon released through biomass combustion is excluded from reported energy-related emissions. This exclusion is based on the assumption that the carbon released is balanced by the carbon uptake during the growth of the biomass feedstock, resulting in zero net emissions over a specified period.
