A Low-Carbon Path: Essential to the Company’s Survival

Given the urgent need to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050, as stipulated in the Paris Agreement, regulations are constantly evolving. By the end of 2022, carbon footprint reporting will be required for companies with more than 250 employees, and Scope 3 reporting will be mandatory for companies with more than 500 employees. 

Today, for a company to grow, its products and services must be not only desirable, accessible, and reliable, but also sustainable. A company that waits for regulations to be imposed is putting itself at risk, whereas a low-carbon trajectory is an asset that can improve its performance. 

Decarbo’Solution® (Decarbo’Solution®), a pioneer in 100% digital carbon footprint assessments since 2012, has fully embraced this concept with its simple, self-learning, compliant, and accessible platform. Starting June 28, Decarbo’Solution® is launching its guide for businesses. 

Toward a Successful Collective Low-Carbon Pathway

The transition to low-carbon energy and production is now essential. Byreducing its environmental impact, a company is not only helping to protect the planet, but also safeguarding its own interests and those of the stakeholders with whom it interacts. 

You cannot reduce your carbon footprint without involving your ecosystem.50 to 80% of GHG emissions are linked to procurement.While procurement departments are committed to reducing their carbon footprint, three-quarters are unaware of the carbon impact of their purchases, and 77% do not measure that of their suppliers*. Since every company is bothasupplier and a customer to others, it is absolutely essential that every company—regardless of its size or obligations—conduct a comprehensive assessment that includes Scope 3 emissions, thereby joining a collective low-carbon trajectory.

“One company’s upstream carbon is always another’s downstream carbon,” explains Philippe Mangeard, president and founder of Decarbo’Solution®. “The customer-supplier chain directly and indirectly connects all businesses, from large global corporations to very small businesses. The ripple effect of this new approach is therefore guaranteed!” he continues.
