Commitment

FILLONY pledges as follows

• To monitor and minimize its energy usage in its daily operations
• To encourage its main industrial suppliers in mainland China to optimize their energy consumption and reduce wastage.
• To calculate CO2 foot print on a first range of home appliances and offset the corresponding emissions of their entire product life, including production, transport, consumer usage and recycling.
• From 2009 onward, to increase the numbers of zero carbon certified products.

Company carbon offset choice:
Shipping millions of Chinese made appliances and electrical products yearly, the FILLONY team has become greatly concerned about the significant impact that the production and usage of such appliances may have on global warming. With the increase in global demand, CHINA has become a major source of CO2 emissions. FILLONY strongly believes that all parties, including intermediaries, must play a part and shoulder their responsibilities. If small companies like FILLONY - involved in a very competitive business - can afford the time, money and human resources to do the right thing and take necessary steps to monitor, measure, minimize and offset their emissions and ultimately those related to some of their products, FILLONY hopes that it can provide a good example for larger and richer companies in its field to follow suit.

FILLONY’s first contribution is allocated to the Paso del Istmo Conservation Corridor, Rivas Province, Nicaragua – reforestation, a project which maintains three broad goals that seek to increase carbon storage while protecting biodiversity and supporting sustainable communities. These goals contribute to Paso Pacífico’s long-term vision of connecting forest ecosystems to form the Paso del Istmo conservation corridor. This corridor will be the first of its kind along the pacific slope of Central America, and in areas of the endangered tropical dry forest. It was certified to meet the Climate, Community and Biodiversity Standards, obtaining a gold rating, among the first projects in the world to do so and is also eligible for CDM/VCS credit as well.
