Shaklee's 2008 Carbon Neutral Protocol

Shaklee's 2008 Carbon Neutral Protocol

Shaklee is 100% carbon neutral.
The greenhouse gas inventories for 2008 covering all Shaklee operations worldwide include US, Canada, Japan, China, Mexico and Taiwan, were reviewed by a third party, Econergy International, in accordance with the World Resources Institute protocol for all six Kyoto-defined greenhouse gases. Shaklee set operational boundaries for the inventory of its worldwide greenhouse gas emissions and worked with Econergy International to calculate the carbon footprint from Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions.
The total amount of Shaklee's greenhouse gas emissions from worldwide operations in 2008 was measured and converted to metric tons of CO2 equivalent. Shaklee has partnered with Green Mountain Energy Company to offset its small carbon footprint in North America and Asia with funding for alternative energy and carbon sequestration projects.
The projects include Green-e certified renewable energy credits (Texas wind projects) and methane capture for the U.S., Canada and Mexico carbon footprints, plus a China wind project for the China, Taiwan, Japan and Malaysia carbon footprints. Shaklee's combined carbon footprints from operations in China, Taiwan, Japan and Malaysia were offset with the purchase of 1,298 metric tons of wind power in China validated to follow the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change criteria for the Clean Development Mechanism protocol.
Located in the Heilongjiang Province of northeast China, the wind project will diversify power mix in China's northeast power grid and will reduce greenhouse gas emissions and pollution by taking the place of coal-fired power plants.
