VAXA Technologies, a global climate and food tech company, is
committed to sustainable partnerships that benefit the planet and
people through the VAXA ACTION Impact Nutrition Program. The
Program delivers nutrition by fortifying the traditional foods of
malnourished people holistically and in partnership with
stakeholders eager to collaborate to achieve the collective goal of
greater environmental and social impact through impactful ACTION.
We are delighted to welcome Verne to VAXA's pioneering
group of innovative partners. Verne delivers sustainable data
center solutions that enable organizations to cost-effectively
scale their digital infrastructure while reducing their
environmental impact. Its Icelandic campus is 100% powered by
renewable geothermal and hydroelectric energy.
VAXA ACTION Impact Nutrition emission reduction
program
The VAXA ACTION Impact Nutrition Program provides a wonderful
opportunity for stakeholders to advocate for people and the planet
through the VAXA Carbon Project, which supports several of the
United Nations Sustainability Goals (SDGs) with a focus on SDG 2
(Zero Hunger) SDG 3 (Good Health and Well-being) and SDG 4 (Quality
Education).
VAXA developed a new scientific approach for sustainable
production of microalgae with meaningful CO2 offset
impact through its microalgae called Icelandic Ultra Spirulina
(IUS). IUS is equivalent to beef in terms of essential amino acids,
iron, and natural active bioavailable vitamin B12, meaning IUS can
effectively be used as an ingredient to fortify foods for people
across the globe without the GHG emissions attributed to
conventional food production.
Sustainable microalgae
VAXA's location in Iceland,
adjacent to one of the world's largest geothermal plants, allows
for a carbon-negative production process that utilizes non-arable
land and a fraction of the water and energy resources of
conventional farming.
Verne
Verne's CEO Dominic Ward says,
"We are incredibly excited to be partnering with VAXA, an
innovative company that closely complements our mission and values.
VAXA has created a technology-based project that not only enables
us to offset our carbon emissions, it provides full traceability
with a digital audit trail, which is very important to us. The
project is based on the principles of the circular economy in
Iceland, with a focus on
environmentally friendly, sustainable practices that, like our own
facilities, utilize the country's natural geothermal power.
"This partnership will ensure Verne reaches its own ambitious
sustainability goals."
VAXA's Partners
"We are happy to welcome Verne to our ACTION program. Our
partners are all committed to a robust and transparent net zero
strategy in which steps have been taken to reduce emissions and
only then compensate residual emissions. Successful sustainability
partnerships such as this one, can bring greater attention to
important environmental issues, and advocate for others to become
involved in meaningful ACTION with durable co-benefits that support
improved nutrition," said Crystal
Riedemann, VAXA's VP of Business Development Carbon
Impact.
