Rio Negro é uma indústria localizada na Amazônia, na pequena cidade de Iranduba. A Cerâmica produzia 15 milhões de peças com a queima de 16 mil toneladas/ano de lenha do desmatamento no bioma Amazônia. Com o objetivo de mudar essa realidade, a partir de 2009, a fábrica substituiu o uso de combustível não renovável (lenha nativa) por biomassa renovável (resíduo do agronegócio local). Por meio dessa iniciativa, a Cerâmica reduziu suas emissões de GEE e diminuiu as emissões de GEE e diminuiu a pressão sobre o desmatamento na Amazônia. A escolha mais sustentável permitiu à Cerâmica participar do mercado de carbono. A venda dos créditos tem sido investida em investimentos na fábrica e benefícios sociais para a comunidade local.
The hexagon demonstrates the continuous improvement of the project during all verification periods. The Social Carbon Standard encourages the reinvestment of a percentage of the income from the carbon credits in socioenvironmental benefits, in line with the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Social Carbon: far beyond carbon, it is social equality.
“We have known and supported Sustainable Carbon projects for 5 years, including visits on site. This enabled us to verify the high quality of the projects, and the relevant impacts they have on climate, environment and community."
— Simon Köppen (Head of Carbon Offset Services na ClimatePartner)
