OLIKA's climate analysis
Do you want to read OLIKA's entire climate analysis?
For us, it is important to be transparent, because even though we have done a lot, we still have a long way to go. Here you will find our sustainability reports. We report according to the GHG protocol:
Sustainability report OLIKA 2023 operations
Sustainability report OLIKA 2022 operations
Sustainability report OLIKA 2021 operations
But can anyone reach "net zero"?
You can always buy your way out, but that's not what we want to do. Instead, we want to be transparent about how much we emit and what we are doing to reduce our emissions. Anyone can reach net zero just by buying carbon offsets. But if we want to have a sustainable world, we need to change our operations, and we are working hard on that at OLIKA. We tell you how we are changing, what changes we have made and will make, and then we report how big our emissions are. Today, we compensate with 200% for the emissions that we have not yet been able to remove, just as we are supposed to do according to international guidelines and the GHG protocol.
How did OLIKA do the climate analysis?
Together with Climate Hero, we have gone through our entire operation and calculated emissions, part by part. It involves everything from our own offices to the energy our printing plants and distributors use. It has not been easy to find all the figures as many people are not used to having to calculate things like that. But we hope that it will become easier year by year. When we have not received figures, we have calculated using templates that, according to international agreements, can be used for climate analysis.
The analysis showed that an average book emits 0.47kg of carbon dioxide (2023 operations). This is the figure that we are working to reduce every year by changing our own and our partners' operations. In the analysis, we take into account the entire life cycle and what is called scope 1, 2 and 3. This means that we include emissions that occur in our production, the emissions that our suppliers create and also the emissions that the consumption of what we produce generates.
