In June, the Court had already received the Gold Seal of the Brazilian program GHG Protocol, granted to institutions that adopt the best practices for compensation for greenhouse gas emissions
The Supreme Court (STF) received carbon credits certificates regarding the full compensation of the GHG emissions (greenhouse gases) of their activities in the years 2023 and 2024. The delivery of certificates, containing the serial number of each credit, represents a material, auditable and transparent proof of the climate action performed by the STF and reaffirms the Court’s neutralization and solutions commitment to neutralization and solutions sustainable and unpublished technological.
The initiative is the result of the Carbon Zero STF Program and the Technical Cooperation Agreement signed with the Biophilic Ambipar Environment Investments. One of the main differentials of this agreement is the use of blockchain technology to convert carbon credits into unique digital assets (“tokenizing”).
Each ton of plywood is converted into an exclusive and traceable digital asset, ensuring the integrity and traceability of the process. The use of these credits is recorded on a public and unchanging platform, which ensures that credits cannot be reused or manipulated. With this, anyone can check the origin and destination of the carbon credits used by the Supreme Court.
Commitment to the future
The delivery of certificates symbolizes the consolidation of an active and effective environmental policy in the STF and a commitment that is part of the Court’s sustainability policy. By adopting emerging technologies such as tokenization and blockchain, the Supreme is positioned as a modern and transparent institution that seeks innovative solutions to its challenges and places itself at the forefront of digital and environmental governance in the public sector.
National reference in sustainability
The achievement adds to the other reached in June this year, when the STF received the Gold Seal of the Brazilian GHG Protocol program, granted to institutions that adopt the best practices of inventory, reduction and compensation of greenhouse gas emissions.
The certification, based on the international methodology managed in Brazil by FGV (Getúlio Vargas Foundation), recognized the STF’s effort to implement concrete actions to mitigate its environmental impact, such as the control of energy consumption and mobility initiatives.
