The benefits of measuring your GHG footprint

1. Continuous monitoring: Comprehensive GHG accounting allows you to monitor your climate strategy and make adjustments to continue to improve your climate performance.
2. Cost savings: You can identify GHG emission hotspots across your business and increase the potential for emissions reductions. Remember, emission reductions also mean saving money. (The less fuel you're burning, the more money you're saving).
3. Becoming carbon neutral: Comprehensive GHG footprinting is the first step to become a carbon neutral organisation.
4. Map out an internal carbon price: Your current carbon footprint defines the internal carbon cost to your organisation. Reducing the footprint, reduces the cost. Many companies use this fact as an incentive to motivate divisions and departments to focus more on better managing energy use. An internal carbon price is also used as a parameter to manage risks of future investments.
5. Become a sustainable business brand: SvanteTM allows you to set up a standardised monitoring system to improve your score at reporting standards such as CDP. Higher scoring increases your reputation and profile as a sustainable business.

Scopes 1,2,3 - explained

There are three ways a business or organisation emits greenhouse gases and carbon through the use or consumption of energy. In our world we refer to them as 'scopes.'

Scope 1:

These emissions result from sources directly owned or operated by you. For example, do you have a fleet of vehicles? Do they burn fossil fuel? Maybe you have buildings with boilers. Something as seemingly benign as neon signs can be REC-worthy.

Scope 2:

These are emissions based on energy you purchase to directly operate your enterprise. The most common across-the-board example is - your electricity consumption.

Scope 3:

Emissions resulting from activities not directly owned by your business but are associated with its operation. Examples; business travel, waste management, commuting, third-party distribution, etc.
