The measurement and monitoring of its carbon footprint is integrated into the Company’s environmental management, information that has been reported to the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) since 2001 to date, and in the last two years has been verified by Ernst & Young.
From the results of the 2011 carbon footprint, the Company decided to neutralize the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions produced in its corporate offices for Scopes 1, 2 and 3 (direct and indirect emissions), as a way to reinforce the proactive commitment to Climate Change mitigation.
Through this management, Colbún became the first electric company in Chile to have carbon neutral corporate offices, by obtaining the CO2 Neutral certification under the international standard of SCX, Santiago Climate Exchange.
