SUSTAINABLE thinking and action

Aware of the impact of our activities, at KREAN we believe that environmental sustainability should be the backbone of our business, with a firm commitment to sustainable development policies. In this way, we integrate the environmental dimension into our cooperative commitment to social and economic development.

Based on these principles and this challenge, we work hand in hand with our customers…

Climate action

KREAN carbononeutro

Reducing emissions.

Scope 1 (Direct emissions): 157.33 metric tons of CO2 equivalent (tCO2eq)

Scope 2 (Indirect emissions from electricity consumption): 23,47 tCO2eq

Total: 180,80 tCO2eq 

Since 2015, we have been calculating and reducing our carbon footprint by registering the project with the Spanish Office for Climate Change.

In the last period reviewed by the OECC, the three-year period 2022-2024, we have achieved an average reduction of 15.54% compared to the previous equivalent period: the three-year period 2021-2023. Since the first year for which data is available, 2009, KREAN's absolute emissions have been reduced by more than 65%.

In 2025, we obtained the seal and certificate from the Spanish Office for Climate Change for the registration, reduction and offsetting of our carbon footprint for the year 2024.

The scope of the reported emissions includes direct and indirect emissions (Scope 1 and Scope 2) resulting from electricity and gas consumption for our entire Professional Services business, which includes the parent company KREAN, S.COOP. and the subsidiary KREAN ECS INDUSTRIAL PLANTS, S.L.U.

Offsetting emissions.

We have offset the 2024 carbon footprint through an OECC-recognised absorption project.

We have removed 180Tn from the BOSQUE GALICIA I absorption project (Code: 2024-b094) managed by the company CO2 Revolution S.L.

This is a reforestation project of 98.89 hectares in the community of neighbouring forests of Mano Común de Couso, Concello de Avión, Orense. This reforestation aims to achieve the ecological restoration of the area, contributing to mitigate the effects of climate change through carbon capture and storage.

In addition, the new stand will play a fundamental role in soil protection, reducing the risk of water erosion and improving soil infiltration conditions. The mixture of species used in the reforestation will break the horizontal continuity of crowns typical of a plantation, which in many cases is responsible for the spread of fire.

Action Plan and Ongoing Commitment

For the 2025–2028 strategic period, we plan to progressively expand the scope of our carbon footprint to include the entire group, as well as, gradually, Scope 3 emissions—indirect emissions from the value chain.

In addition to a target of achieving carbon neutrality by 2030. Plan de Sostenibilidad 2025-2028.

At KREAN, we are committed to sustainability and reducing our environmental impact. We will continue to work on implementing new initiatives and improving our practices to achieve our emissions reduction targets. For further information on our sustainability policies and actions, please refer to our report Estado de Información No Financiara 2024.

“Sustainability is the vector sine qua non in all our projects”

There are already more than a hundred projects in which KREAN has achieved LEED, BREEAM or WELL certification. These certifications assess projects and buildings based on a set of highly demanding categories and criteria. They represent a recognition that accredits that the projects meet the highest benefits in sustainability and well-being. When we started working in this area 10 years ago, we did not imagine that the journey would take us so far. We can only share our joy and thank all the customers who have trusted us over the years.

EINF KREAN

Every year we compare our sustainability policy before an external evaluator. In 2024, we have reached the 88th percentile among companies in our sector and environment in the assessment carried out by ECOVADIS, which accredits us as a SILVER level. In this evaluation, our impacts on the environment, labor practices and human rights, ethics and sustainable purchases have been measured.

We will be happy to share our evaluation sheet with you if you send us an email to info@krean.com indicating your interest.
