THE "WINNING CLIMATE" AMBITION OF LCL AND GCI
Five years ago, the Paris Climate Agreement was signed
The fight against greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions remains a major challenge for all economic agents
Simplifying and widely disseminating the GHG report to companies: the "winning climate" ambition of LCL and GCI
On the eve of the 5th Anniversary of the Paris Climate Agreement, LCL SmartBusiness welcomes a new partner, Global Climate Initiatives (GCI), to launch the first online solution for its corporate customers to establish their GHG assessment independently, at low cost and in full compliance.
The platform developed by GCI allows any type of company, in any sector and of any size (SME, ETI, TGE), to access online services designed to measure and understand its carbon footprint with a view to reducing it, possibly including offsetting actions. All these steps are of course carried out in accordance with the standards and regulations in force.
Measure your footprint.
Depending on their sector of activity, companies can access a personalized questionnaire directly on the platform. Once this questionnaire is completed, the greenhouse gas emissions are automatically calculated and broken down into the 3 regulatory scopes of direct and indirect emissions.
The GCI calculator has been tested and complies with the regulations (Grenelle II Law), standards (ISO 14064-1) and methodologies (GHG inventory® Association and GHG Protocol) in force.
Understand your GHG balance.
The resulting report provides an overall and detailed assessment of emissions by item and scope (direct or indirect). It allows the company to identify the most emitting items, to define the potential reduction paths and timetable and to have a better visibility of the reduction strategy that it will be able to implement and manage.
Offset your carbon footprint.
Depending on the company's strategic choices, the GCI platform also offers certified carbon offset projects for direct and indirect emissions. A dedicated expert can accompany clients in the various program choices with respect to the desired Sustainable Development Objectives .
LCL's Corporate Account Managers will present the GCI offer to their SME and ETI customers from the beginning of 2021
" A few days before the fifth anniversary of the Paris Agreements, LCL is particularly pleased to welcome Global Climate Initiatives to its " LCL SmartBusiness " Open-Banking program. A digital tool entirely dedicated to measuring and reducing CO2 emissions, GCI completes the ecosystem that LCL provides to its SME and ETI customers to help them meet the immense challenge of combating global warming. In the future, carbon footprinting will be one of the most closely watched markers in their interactions with the rest of the world.
Olivier NICOLAS, Member of Comex, in charge of the Corporate and Institutional Market at LCL
"This partnership with LCL allows us to reinforce our ambition of "GHG assessment for all". It is essential that all players, from very small businesses to large groups, are committed if we want to have any chance of limiting global warming. LCL knows companies perfectly well and will therefore be a formidable ambassador to support them in this essential transition for our future.
Philippe MANGEARD, president and founder of GCI
