Classification
of GHG emissions
Navantia holds full MITERD certification for the three components "Calculate", "Reduce" and "Offset" of the seal awarded by the Ministry in relation to the carbon footprint. The Register of carbon footprint, offsetting and absorption projects is a national, voluntary register whose purpose is to encourage Spanish organisations to calculate and reduce their carbon footprint, as well as to promote projects that improve Spain’s carbon sink capacity.

Classification
of GHG emissions
GHGs trap heat in the atmosphere, and their increase due to human activity is driving global temperature rises.
Scope 1
Direct GHG emissions. For example, emissions from combustion in boilers, furnaces, vehicles, etc. that are owned or controlled by the organisation.
Scope 2
Indirect GHG emissions associated with the generation of purchased and consumed electricity.
Scope 3
Indirect GHG emissions associated with the generation of electricity and other indirect emissions, such as the extraction and production of materials purchased by the organisation or business travel.

Management system principles
Navantia’s Management System is based on three key principles: integrity and hierarchy, to ensure the system’s consistency; simplicity and accessibility, to make it easier to understand and apply; and continuous improvement and updating, to guarantee its ongoing evolution. These pillars enable efficient management aligned with the company’s objectives.

fighting climate change
Navantia works to conserve biodiversity and protect marine and coastal ecosystems, promoting research in marine technology. Since 2020, it has been a signatory to the Biodiversity Pact with the Fundación Biodiversidad of the Ministry for Ecological Transition and the Demographic Challenge (MITERD), thereby demonstrating its commitment to sustainable biodiversity management.
Navantia’s commitment to offsetting greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions is focused on the corporate project “Ecosistema Navantia”. This project aims to mitigate climate change by offsetting emissions, increasing the absorption capacity of carbon sinks and preserving biodiversity.
Initially focused on the Navantia Forest through reforestation projects on land adjacent to our sites, the scope of Ecosistema Navantia is now expanding in two ways. First, closely linked to our core business, it encompasses blue carbon sequestration projects – offsetting initiatives associated with marine and coastal ecosystems that contribute to their conservation. Second, our role goes beyond partially offsetting our carbon footprint: we also link these projects to the conservation status of the areas in which they are carried out.
Navantia publishes data through GBIF (Global Biodiversity Information Facility) in collaboration with the Spanish GBIF Node (GBIF.ES), sponsored by the Ministry of Science and Innovation and managed by CSIC. It has shared information on benthic fauna in the marine ecosystem near its facilities, based on environmental monitoring plans carried out by the Environment Area.
