ICRH and climate change 
ICRH operations involve quite some traveling and therefore contributes considerably to climate change.
In order to limit our carbon footprint, we systematically compensate for the CO2 emissions of our airmiles. We do this through CompenCO2, a specialized NGO established by the Belgian environmental and North-South movements. The compensation fees are invested in climate-friendly development projects in Africa.
