Any remaining emissions will be compensated for through investments in certified carbon removal credits. CPH aims to reduce its Scope 1 and 2 (market-based) emissions by 90% by 2030 against the 2019 baseline. The company is committed to procuring high-quality carbon removal credits, verified against credible third-party standards, to offset its residual Scope 1 and 2 emissions. In previous years, CPH has reported various emission figures.
