Decarbonisation of purchasing, the key to the carbon competitiveness of companies
Themes
Carrying out your carbon assessment/action plan with a service provider or ... in-house: How do you choose?
Should you carry out these actions in-house, or use an external service provider, which is simpler in the short term, but also more expensive?
Why and how can we improve our GHG balance sheet thanks to the commitment of our suppliers?
There is an essential lever for decarbonizing its activity: the involvement of suppliers, who represent 50 to 90% of Scope 3 emissions.
The Carbon Footprint/Inventory, the first step in measuring and improving its Carbon Competitiveness
The carbon footprint is becoming the mandatory indicator for the ecological transition and the sustainability of all companies.
How does my company's low-carbon strategy create value?
Every day, it becomes more and more imperative for any organization to be part of a Low-Carbon trajectory to guarantee its Carbon Competitiveness®, which is a guarantee of its sustainability.
Why calculate the carbon footprint? Method, costs, benefits.
The carbon footprint is an indicator that measures the impact of an activity on the environment, and in particular the associated greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.
Every decision made by society has an impact on the climate. That is why it is important to measure these greenhouse gas emissions in order to assess and reduce this impact.
Scope 4, avoided emissions, what are we talking about?
A few years ago, the GHG Protocol raised the idea of a Scope 4, in order to enable the calculation of avoided emissions. Subsequently, various methodologies and international standards have addressed this topic.
This article aims to review the different definitions, methodologies and reporting methods currently available in regulations.
Decarbonization of Purchasing
With the ambition to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by at least 55% by 2030, the EU is imposing on companies a real contract with the planet. This decarbonization is largely in the hands of purchasing departments, and offers many advantages in terms of securing and sustaining supply chains. It remains to choose the right tools to project and manage this low-carbon trajectory, and to convince its suppliers to commit to sharing its benefits, particularly in terms of reducing future taxation.
Everyone can take advantage of the benefits of carrying out their GHG inventory® and, if necessary, of the financial aid to finance it!
The 2021 Finance Law extends the obligation to carry out a BEGES (Greenhouse Gas Emission Balance) to companies with more than 50 employees receiving funds from the European Recovery Plan. These new footprint calculation obligations come at a price: to raise awareness of the benefits they bring, a number of grants are available to companies to finance them.
What are the benefits of carrying out a Greenhouse Gas Emission Assessment (GHGEA) on a quality online platform?
The European Green Pact, which aims to reduce the EU's GHG emissions by 55% by 2030, will increase the price of carbon. Companies that want to remain competitive and ensure their sustainability must therefore adopt a strategy to reduce their emissions without delay.
