As we round out , we want to share the newest Gold Standard project we're supporting as part of our commitment to offset our historical carbon footprint by 2030 🌱

This project focuses on the Santander Ceramic Factory, a red ceramic factory in Soacha, Colombia, utilizing renewable biomass.

Ceramic industries in Colombia typically use traditional kilns that burn large amounts of coal, contributing to greenhouse gas emissions. In contrast, Santander optimizes thermal energy by using biomass residues like sawdust, wood residues, and paper pulp as the primary fuel source for ceramic kilns, replacing reliance on fossil fuels and reducing 26,136 tCO2/year in emissions.

Beyond its environmental benefits, the project has also worked to improve the livelihood of the local community through initiatives like:

🧱 Donating bricks and other construction materials to a local school from the village of Fuzunga

🌳 Setting up and maintaining a nursery for the community to grow native trees and plants and help restore local ecosystems.

🛠️ Providing training and capacity-building courses to employees to increase their opportunities for growth in the labor market.

🐶 Providing shelter and food for abandoned animals in the region.

We're proud to support the very first Gold Standard-certified project in Colombia and look forward to seeing continued growth and positive change in the community.
