Since July 1, 2022, the government's "transition plan" has been stricter. Companies are obliged to calculate their carbon footprint and establish a low-carbon trajectory by considering the *global* volume of their GHG emissions. Companies must also demonstrate the coherence of their long-term low-carbon trajectory.

Corporate Social Responsibility: CSR and Sustainable Development Goals: SDGs - two acronyms to know

Since the Paris Agreement, countries and companies have agreed on the importance of acting against global warming, i.e. acting on their carbon footprint by limiting their GHG emissions. Solutions have been developed to help companies commit and accelerate their ecological transition. To facilitate the implementation of these reduction solutions, the realization of a GHG assessment is the ideal solution.

The new decree of July 1, 2022, which imposes scope 3 and a reduction action plan, and the 2022 Finance Act, which requires most companies with more than 50 employees to also carry out a GHG assessment, albeit initially in a simplified form, confirm the growing regulatory pressure.

A complete balance sheet is the inventory of GHG emissions through three categories, also called scopes. The objective is to categorize greenhouse gas emissions by item or by type of activity of a company. The integration of all these emissions in a GHG assessment allows a complete review and then, to engage solutions to reduce them.

To improve the energy performance of existing buildings, the law goes further with the "tertiary decree", which is much more restrictive and monitored. The latter aims to accelerate the reduction of energy consumption in public and private buildings. Several solutions are outlined in the existing regulations.

Doing a carbon footprint report gives an account of the carbon footprint of an organization. It allows for the quantification of all greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions directly or indirectly generated by an organization.

The tertiary sector covers a wide range of activities. It ranges from trade to administration, including transport, financial and real estate activities, business and personal services, education, health and social work. Because of its different sectors of activity, the possibilities for reducing emissions are many and varied.

The secondary sector includes all activities consisting of a more or less elaborate transformation of raw materials (manufacturing industry, construction). Industrial actors and their financiers are directly concerned by the anticipation of climate change and the construction of a low-carbon economy

The primary sector includes all activities whose purpose is to exploit natural resources: agriculture, fishing, forestry, mining, deposits. This sector is the first to be affected by global warming and could therefore benefit from the reduction of emissions, including its own. Agriculture and the agri-food industry are particularly vulnerable to the effects of climate change.

The GHG assessment is the identification and the precise quantification, complete and following the regulations, of the greenhouse gas emissions of a company or an organization, in order to find ways to reduce them. To be effective, the carbon footprint must take into account the company's sector of activity.

According to Philippe Mangeard, the carbon footprint can be the starting point for a new organization of the company decided collectively and baptized with a nice word: low carbon strategy. What we also need to understand is that we cannot reduce our carbon footprint alone within the company, we need to involve our ecosystem.

Any company that is interested in carrying out a Greenhouse Gas Emissions Assessment will have heard two terms: Carbon Footprint and GHG Footprint. Although they have a similar approach, i.e. the accounting of greenhouse gases emitted by an entity or organization for its activities, some particularities differentiate them, such as the definition of the scope of accounting of emissions.

Calculating one's carbon impact on our environment starts with an intention to work in an eco-responsible way. However, the ecogesture aspect may not echo your aspirations and priorities as a business leader, however, the realization of a carbon footprint allows much more than that! It can be done for economic reasons or used as a commercial argument.

The law requires companies with more than 50 employees to simply make their scope 1 report, i.e. the most uninteresting part of the report, which only concerns direct energy consumption: diesel, gasoline, wood, coal. What is most interesting in a carbon footprint is scope 2, the energy that we buy: electricity, heat, cold, but especially scope 3, as Philippe Mangeard explains.

Understand in 4 minutes, in all simplicity, the Carbon Footprint and the interest to involve your suppliers.

Global Climate Initiatives was set up in 2012 to enable anyone, whether a company or a local authority, to carry out a simple, independent carbon audit, and thus identify ways of reducing emissions. The Circular Economy is one of these good solutions, and also brings a number of very appreciable societal benefits.
