I’m now using a piece of software called Carbon-Alt-Delete to measure and monitor greenhouse gas emissions for businesses, and non-profits such as charities.
The benefits of this are:
- Reduces the amount of time spent by me, and by you as my client, to monitor and update your emissions figures. I don’t have to use post-it notes or time-consuming spreadsheets any more.
- I then use this saved time to advise you on a comprehensive strategy to reduce your emissions.
- The data produced for you by Carbon-Alt-Delete is accredited under the Greenhouse Gas Protocol. So you can demonstrate that your emissions data is credible.
Contact me now to discuss how I can help your business or non-profit measure and reduce its greenhouse gas emissions.
-
- Scope 1
– Burning natural gas, LPG, heating oil in your building; for space heating, domestic hot water, industrial processes
– Burning transport fuels such as diesel and petrol in vehicles that your business owns. - Scope 2
– Is mainly from energy that you buy; e.g. electricity from the grid; heating or cooling from a district energy system. - Scope 3
– Is emissions that you do not cause directly, but which arise from actions in your value chain. The goods and services that you buy in, have scope 3 emissions. Remote working and staff travel are also examples of scope 3 emissions.
- Scope 1
Scope 3 emissions are easy to overlook. I can help you to understand and measure your scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions. Most importantly, I can help you to develop a strategy to manage and reduce your emissions. There is no point understanding your “carbon footprint” for the sake of it.
Consumers want to buy goods and services from businesses that are ethical and sustainable. Understanding and measuring your scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions means you can prove to your customers that you are serious about greening your business.
