Gravity’s Post

Corporate sustainability reporting has too often been removed from its rightful twin: energy and cost management. At Gravity, we put the pieces together.

What are scope 1, 2, and 3 carbon emissions? 💨 In spring, we hosted an online workshop with sustainability expert Sirli Pehme to discuss understanding CO2 footprinting for businesses and products. Key topics included: 🔹Why should companies address their climate impact? 🔹What are scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions? But what about scope 4? 🔹Where do the biggest impacts come from?  🔹How to start the process? What methodologies and frameworks to consider? 🔹What carbon footprint tools are available? 🖇 You can find the answers in the workshop's slides - https://lnkd.in/dWTbNdaJ

Discussions - and debates – about avoided emissions have been multiplying.   Roland Berger recently conducted a study to better grasp which companies are exploring this concept, its opportunities, and challenges. Key insights are the following: ◉ These companies are mature in terms of climate action. They’re committed to reducing their direct and indirect CO2 emissions and they’ve set a transition plan based on science ◉ They’re also aware that a shared and standardized methodology is critical in order to prevent any green washing risk ◉ Such a methodology constitutes a key prerequisite for them to fully unlock business opportunities and highlight their contribution to decarbonization   Read more about challenges and opportunities for companies to valorize their contribution to #decarbonization.   #climatechange #impact Julian Bacabara Laura Beaulier Loreline FOL Lucien Gessner Marjolaine Grisard

The below graphic stood out in the recent Discussion paper on Nature transition plans by the Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD). As climate change transition plans define a company's robust approach and a blueprint for delivery of net zero, it makes sense that a nature transition plan would similarly provide the structure and ambition to manage a company's nature-related dependencies, impacts, risks and opportunities. But as outlined below, these issues are interdependent and so perhaps we are heading towards companies developing an integrated plan which encompasses all the synergies and trade-offs across linked sustainability objectives, including social objectives.

As regulations and investor demands evolve, companies are increasingly focusing on Scope 3 emissions—often the largest and most complex part of their carbon footprint. Our latest report, 𝐁𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐡𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐒𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐑𝐞𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟒, shows that 53% of companies plan to add new Scope 3 categories in the next 12 months, a considerable rise from just 28% last year. Addressing these indirect emissions is crucial for any business serious about decarbonization.
