A carbon-neutral race
For the 2019 Schneider Electric Marathon de Paris, we’re eliminating waste wherever possible and compensating its carbon footprint through environmental actions in Kenya.
Working with Livelihoods Funds we help provide energy-efficient Hifadhi cookstoves to people with poor access to energy. This helps decrease wood consumption and prevent deforestation. Livelihoods Funds also plants new trees to restore damaged ecosystems.

To offset the Paris Marathon footprint, we are working closely with the Livelihoods Fund that helps prevent deforestation in the rural areas of Kenya where firewood is the primary energy source.
We are strongly supporting the Fund in providing energy-efficient Hifadhi Cook stoves to Kenyan villagers and planting new trees to restore already damaged ecosystems.
All of this means tons of timber saved and a smaller carbon footprint.
