CARBON FOOTPRINT

TTS has developed a system for the quantification of greenhouse gas emissions for each phase of the product life: in this way, it is possible to identify the most critical phases, implementing concrete actions aimed at reducing CO₂e.

The work carried out has made it possible to achieve an important goal: TTS is one of the first companies in the world to have obtained the certification of the Carbon Footprint Systematic Approach implemented.

In 2019 TTS has started a long-term compensation programme to fully absorb the emissions associated with the annual production of Magic trolleys thus making it the first carbon neutral trolley line.

A concrete gesture in support of important projects of responsible environmental management that not only allows the absorption of countless tons of CO₂ but also helps to safeguard endangered ecosystems, protect biodiversity, and protect the work of local communities.

TTS has chosen to play its part in the creation of an urban forest on the campus of the Autonomous University of Barcelona (UAB). The forestation project is part of the UForest project supported by the European Commission and involves the planting of young trees and shrubs from certified nurseries and subsequent maintenance up to five years after planting.

The selected species attract pollinating insects and small birds favouring biodiversity and contribute to the creation of a climatic shelter capable of mitigating the heatwaves that are hitting with increasing frequency and intensity due to climate change.

TTS contributes to countering the loss of biodiversity that threatens the young woods between the provinces of Cremona and Mantua by means of forest protection and improvement measures that result in the capture and conservation of 520 tonnes of CO2 , the greenhouse gas that contributes most to global warming.

The project supported by TTS aims to safeguard forest areas managed in compliance with Forest Stewardship Council (FSC®) standards, with the goal of creating and maintaining an environment rich in biodiversity and welcoming to wildlife.

TTS takes care of the Southern Oglio River Park by contributing to forestry and biodiversity support.

Interventions range from the planting of native species and the improvement of existing forests to the redevelopment of an oxbow environment of great biodiversity value, in which more than 800 species of animals dwell.

TTS is thus helping to protect and enhance one of the few remaining wetlands in the Po Valley, home to important nature reserves and refuge for rare or endangered species such as the Lataste frog.

TTS contributes to the conservation, enhancement and development of Belvedere, an urban forest that is responsibly managed in accordance with the strict environmental, social and economic standards of the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC®).

The intervention carried out promotes the natural regeneration of the lowland forest, improves the resilience of the ecosystem and counteracts the risk of fire, allowing oaks and hornbeams to absorb 650 tonnes of CO₂ each year. TTS's contribution has also made it possible to return clean, safe and freely accessible paths to the community.
