“It is imperative to comprehend that the transition to carbon neutrality is no longer a choice in today’s complex world. According to Frederico Pais, CEO of Microplasticos, businesses who invest in net-zero will increase their profits by cutting expenses, retaining the best employees, and being more accessible to potential new clients. Working with Schneider Electric was essential for Microplásticos since they assisted us with both the strategy and the implementation gap. As a result of our activities to improve stakeholder participation, it will become a part of our culture.

By committing to using renewable energy and becoming Net-Zero in Scope 1 and 2 by 2030, Microplasticos is taking a significant step toward assuming a leading position in sustainability, according to a statement.

Microplásticos aims to have 100% renewable electricity starting in 2023, and in order to support their decarbonization efforts, they intend to eliminate mobile emissions (Scope 1) by 2026.
