Zitro Achieves Scope 2 Emissions Neutrality Across its Facilities in Spain
Zitro has announced that all its facilities in Spain where it manages energy consumption are now powered by 100% renewable energy sources, achieving Scope 2 carbon emissions neutrality. This milestone marks a key step forward in the company’s ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) commitments.
Scope 2 emissions refer to indirect emissions generated by electricity purchased and consumed by an organisation and represent a primary source of environmental impact in the industrial sector.
This achievement ensures that electricity consumption across all Zitro facilities in Spain is certified through Guarantees of Origin (GoOs) under the market-based method—the European standard that ensures that, for every kilowatt-hour consumed, an equivalent amount is generated from renewable sources and fed into the grid.
Zitro Factory now joins Zitro Laboratory and Zitro International as operations powered by 100% certified renewable energy, completing a milestone that spans the company’s entire footprint in Spain.
With this achievement, Zitro reinforces its commitment to sustainability and environmental responsibility, further strengthening its position as a leader in the gaming industry.
