SUSTAINABLE ECOSYSTEMS
Embracing the Shift to a Circular Economy
Across the globe, we are confronted with numerous sustainability challenges, such as climate change, air and water pollution, noise, waste management, and unsustainable agricultural practices. Many of today’s systems are clearly damaging to our plant's biodiversity, as they rely on finite resources and harm vital ecosystems.
There is an urgent need to redesign social norms for future generations and provide essential products and services which work in harmony with resources in which they were generated. A transition away from linear value chains to a truly circular economy is crucial.

OUR COMMITMENT
The Circular Economy
At redo, our commitment to the circular economy is driving meaningful change and fostering a more sustainable future. By embracing the principles of "reduce, reuse, and recycle", we are not only minimising waste but also maximising resource efficiency. Our innovative approaches to system design and life-cycle management ensure that materials are continuously cycled back into the economy, reducing environmental impact and conserving valuable resources.
Our dedication to circular economy practices is not just about improving our own operations; it’s about leading by example and inspiring others to join the movement. By creating closed-loop systems and supporting sustainable practices, we are contributing to a healthier planet and a more resilient economy.
We are proud of the progress we’ve made and are excited about the opportunities ahead to further advance our circular economy initiatives. Together, we are building a brighter, more sustainable future for generations to come.

Industry
The industrial sector is one of the largest contributors to global greenhouse gas emissions, primarily from the burning of fossil fuels for energy and industrial processes. These emissions drive climate change, leading to rising global temperatures, extreme weather events, and environmental degradation. Decarbonising industry is essential to reducing carbon emissions and limiting global warming to safe levels, as outlined in international agreements like the Paris Agreement.
Greenhouse gas (GHG) accounting has a significant impact on heavy industries, especially within the framework of EU regulations aimed at reducing carbon emissions. As the EU tightens its climate policies under initiatives like the European Green Deal and the "Fit for 55" package, which seeks to reduce GHG emissions by at least 55% by 2030, heavy industries are under increasing pressure to measure, report, and reduce their carbon footprints. This includes sectors such as cement, steel, chemicals, and transportation, which are substantial contributors to carbon emissions.
For these industries, GHG accounting involves accurately tracking and reporting their emissions, often according to the EU's Emissions Trading System (ETS), which places a cap on emissions and requires companies to buy allowances for excess emissions. Failure to comply with these regulations can lead to fines and restrictions, driving a need for sustainable practices to avoid financial and regulatory penalties.

In addition to CO₂, land transport emits harmful pollutants such as nitrogen oxides (NOx) and particulate matter (PM), which have severe impacts on air quality and public health. Decarbonising transportation by shifting to cleaner fuels like electricity or biomethane, and adopting zero-emission vehicles, can significantly reduce these pollutants, improving air quality and reducing health issues like respiratory diseases.
The Renewable Energy Directive II (RED II), adopted in 2018, sets binding targets for the use of renewable energy across all sectors, including transport. It requires member states to ensure that at least 14% of the energy used in transportation comes from renewable sources by 2030. Biomethane, as a renewable fuel, plays a crucial role in helping meet these targets. RED II also supports the development of advanced biofuels, including biomethane produced from organic waste and residues, which are favoured under the directive.

Chemical fertilisers, especially nitrogen-based fertilisers, are a major source of nitrous oxide (N₂O), a potent greenhouse gas with a global warming potential nearly 300 times greater than carbon dioxide (CO₂). Biofertilizers, which are organic alternatives, release nutrients more gradually and efficiently into the soil, reducing the need for synthetic nitrogen fertilisers. This leads to lower N₂O emissions from agricultural soils.
The production of chemical fertilisers, particularly nitrogen-based fertilisers, is highly energy-intensive and often reliant on fossil fuels. By using biofertilisers, which are derived from natural processes like composting or anaerobic digestion, the agriculture industry can lower its reliance on energy-intensive industrial processes, thereby reducing indirect GHG emissions associated with fertiliser production.
Maritime
Greenhouse gas (GHG) accounting significantly affects the maritime industry, particularly in regions like the EU, where there is a strong regulatory focus on reducing emissions. The maritime sector, responsible for around 3% of global GHG emissions, is under pressure to decarbonise as part of the EU's broader climate objectives, including the European Green Deal and "Fit for 55" initiative. These policies aim to cut overall GHG emissions by at least 55% by 2030 and achieve climate neutrality by 2050.
The EU's regulatory framework for the maritime industry includes the Monitoring, Reporting, and Verification (MRV) regulation, which requires ships over 5,000 gross tonnage to report their CO2 emissions, fuel consumption, and other operational data. Starting in 2024, the EU Emissions Trading System (ETS) will expand to include maritime transport, requiring ship operators to purchase carbon allowances to cover their emissions. This creates a financial incentive for the maritime sector to reduce its carbon footprint, particularly for vessels navigating in ecologically sensitive areas such as Norway's fjords.
The Norwegian fjords are designated as UNESCO World Heritage sites, and protecting their pristine environment is a high priority for Norway and the EU. The maritime industry in these areas faces additional pressure to minimise emissions, as local regulations are being tightened to ban emissions from cruise ships and ferries in the fjords by 2026. GHG accounting plays a critical role here, as accurate monitoring and reporting are necessary to comply with current and upcoming restrictions.
