Continuing its commitment to contribute to climate action in Peru, Green Gold Forestry (GGF) took part once again in the most recent edition of Perú Mucho Gusto Lima, organized by Promperú as a key partner in the partial offsetting of the event’s carbon footprint.
As part of the event’s sustainability pillar, Promperú promoted the measurement of the carbon footprint generated by logistics, transportation, and energy consumption activities. This process was led by ALWA, a Peruvian company specialized in sustainability, whose assessment will determine the total emissions generated during the event. A portion of these emissions will then be offset through verified carbon credits from the Green Gold Loreto 1 (GGL1) project, managed by GGF.
Throughout the four days of the fair, GGF was present at the Sustainability Booth, where it shared with visitors information about its conservation work in the Amazon, the value of carbon credits, and the importance of measuring and reducing emissions. Together with ALWA and the Promperú sustainability team, environmental awareness was also promoted through other spaces within the fair and across its communication channels.
The GGL1 Project, from which the carbon credits originate, is located in the Loreto region and protects more than 183,000 hectares of Amazonian forest, preventing degradation and preserving habitats for over 2,300 species of flora and fauna. It also strengthens the capacities of 17 local communities, promotes sustainable enterprises, and generates green jobs, contributing to the well-being and development of the Peruvian Amazon.
This joint effort among the three institutions builds upon the collaboration achieved in previous editions of Perú Mucho Gusto held earlier this year, such as Lambayeque, which was fully carbon neutral (363 tCO₂), and Tacna, which achieved partial offset (500 tCO₂).
In this way, Promperú, ALWA, and Green Gold Forestry continue to join forces to demonstrate that the development of gastronomic events can also be an opportunity to foster environmental responsibility and strengthen the conservation of Peru’s Amazonian ecosystems.
