Strategies on Climate Change
Credit Suisse has defined the following targets for the in-house environmental management:
- Improvement of environmental performance
- Maintenance of a solid environmental management system
- Striving for greenhouse gas neutrality
It should be examined how a group-wide greenhouse gas neutrality can be achieved incrementally by 2012 at the latest. The first substantial step was the launch of a pilot project by Real Estate and Provider Management in order to achieve greenhouse gas neutrality of all operations in Switzerland, including, air travel for the year 2006.
Greenhouse Gas Neutrality Strategy
In order to achieve greenhouse gas neutrality within our internal operations, Real Estate and Provider Management has developed an in-house strategy which consists of four paths:
| 1. | Optimizing the operations of our premises |
| 2. | Capital expenditure to install energy-efficient technologies in our premises |
| 3. | Substitution of energy types |
| 4. | Compensation of the remaining emission with emission reduction certificates |
