HERO is a "Carbon Neutral" event
The sustainability project FROM HERO TO ZERO has achieved a great result: Hero Dolomites has indeed reached the certification of "Carbon Neutral" event. To achieve this goal, initiatives have been undertaken to reduce emissions involving partner companies and participants. Once the 2022 event was concluded, the analysis by the specialized agency Climatepartner revealed the production of 91,000 kg of carbon dioxide, compensated through a reforestation initiative with 91 trees.
