At CrowdFarming, we dream of creating the most sustainable food supply chain ever. We’re constantly striving to reduce our environmental footprint and enhance our standards. That’s why we’re excited to share a significant milestone in our journey: the installation of solar panels at our first logistics centre, CrowdLog-Museros, in Valencia.

From Zero Scope 2 Emissions in 2023 to generating our own green electricity!

In 2023, we were super excited to have reduced our total CO2 emissions by 25%. This was possible because we cut out all Scope 2 emissions.

(What are scope 2 emissions? These are emissions that a company causes indirectly and come from where the energy it purchases and uses is produced. For example, the emissions caused when generating the electricity that we use in our buildings would fall into this category.)

 This means that all the electricity used in both CrowdFarming offices and our CrowdLog-Museros logistic centre last year was completely green. We ensured that every bit of our energy came from renewable sources, certified with guarantees of origin. 

While using green electricity was a significant step, we’re now taking our commitment even further. We’ve installed solar panels at CrowdLog-Museros. By generating our own green electricity, we’re not just consumers of renewable energy—we’re producers.

This initiative allows us to:

• Enhance Energy Independence: Generating our own electricity reduces our reliance on external energy sources and makes our operations more resilient.
• Promote Sustainable Practices: Leading by example, we hope to inspire other companies and logistic centres to adopt renewable energy solutions and contribute to a more resilient and sustainable future.
  
  

While Valencia enjoys plenty of sunshine, there may be times when we cannot generate enough electricity to meet our needs. In such cases, we will continue to purchase the remainder of our electricity from our previous renewable sources.

Setting the standard

Our mission at CrowdFarming has always been about more than just delivering fresh, organic and regenerative produce straight from the farmer to the consumer. It’s about making a positive impact on the environment and always thinking about what we can do better. If we are to create a more resilient and sustainable future, then we need to be setting the standards first and leading by example. The installation of solar panels at CrowdLog is a testament to our ongoing dedication to this mission.

We already share our core values with our farmers, and more than 25% of all our farmers already produce renewable energy on their farms. 

We’re thrilled to embark on this new journey of producing our own green electricity, and we look forward to sharing more updates on our sustainability initiatives. Thank you for being part of our journey towards a greener, more sustainable future. Together, we hope to make a real difference—one solar panel at a time.
