Aranya climate finance 2025
For the fiscal year 2025, Aranya’s total emissions amounted to 589 tCO₂e. We have therefore chosen to carry out climate finance for the full amount through the Karnataka Solar project in southern India.
What is climate finance and what is it not?
We do not call it becoming climate neutral. That would not be accurate. Climate finance is a way of taking responsibility for the emissions we cannot yet reduce, not a way of erasing them. We continuously work to reduce Aranya’s carbon footprint, and for what remains, we choose to invest in projects with measurable impact.
Karnataka Solar
Karnataka Solar produces renewable electricity that replaces coal power in the Indian national grid. Each year, the project prevents emissions of around 425,000 tonnes of CO₂ and also generates more than 500,000 MWh, enough to supply 575,000 households with electricity. The project is verified under Gold Standard (ID: GS7534) and CDM (ID: 10573) and supports the global sustainability goals 7, 8 and 13.
Karnataka is India’s eighth largest state, an area with great biodiversity and an agriculture entirely dependent on monsoon rains. With projected temperature increases of 2°C by 2030, the stakes there are urgent.
Why we choose to be transparent
It feels right to be clear about our reasoning. We are a company that sells and delivers network technology. Our emissions are not enormous, but they are real. Ignoring them would be easy. Taking responsibility for them through verified climate finance, on the other hand, feels like the obvious choice.
