KCS IT is joining the Lisbon European Green Capital 2020 Commitment – Lisbon Climate Action 2030, taking on its role in environmental responsibility and reducing its ecological footprint. The Innovation and Technology company commits to implementing, by 2030, a set of measures that will make it a greener, more sustainable, and more conscious company.

The measures KCS IT has committed to span several areas, including Energy, Circular Economy, Citizenship, and Mobility. These actions will be implemented and reported to the initiative's organizers, with annual targets that must be met.

Among the concrete measures designed by the Innovation and Technology company are:

- Installing LED lighting in all buildings (interior and exterior, where applicable)

- Eliminating the use of single-use plastics

- Increasing waste sent for recycling by 50% by 2030, compared to 2020

- Promoting the purchase of certified sustainable materials and products, with a low-carbon production chain and, whenever possible, of local origin

- Reducing municipal solid waste produced by 50% by 2030, compared to 2020

- Communicating the city's targets across the company's internal and external communication channels

- Sharing Lisbon's environmental and climate action goals with employees and/or associates

- Increasing the promotion of electric vehicles in private-use and operational vehicle fleets

- Providing personal care facilities (such as showers) for those who use micro-mobility solutions (e.g., bicycles) for their commute

- Providing parking spaces for bicycles and motorcycles

- Ensuring available space and encouraging remote meetings.

The initiative is part of the City of Lisbon's subscription to the Covenant of Mayors for Climate and Energy, through which the city commits to the goals of the Paris Agreement, joining the C40 Cities Climate Leadership Network, and implementing the Sustainable Energy and Climate Action Plan (SECAP).

To position Lisbon at the forefront of a Sustainability agenda, there is a need to engage stakeholders and work as a whole. Hence the launch of this challenge to the city, to companies, organizations, associations, and institutions, both public and private, to take on the Lisbon European Green Capital 2020 Commitment – Lisbon Climate Action 2030 with an ambitious agenda for the coming decade.
