The Time To Act Is Now
Given the devastating effects of climate change, businesses are increasingly being made accountable for their carbon footprint. With new legislation coming into effect that will impact many organisations, and with consumers increasingly expecting ethical practices from their suppliers, companies need to have the ability to report on their carbon emissions to work towards net zero.
Business Leaders, Here’s What You Need To Know
If you have companies operating in the EU then the introduction of the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) should mean sustainability reporting is a priority. The new legislation mandates that all organisations, regardless of their size, will need to report on their carbon emissions by 2027. However, even for UK companies, we should expect similar legislation to follow in the near future.
Regardless of the compliance aspect, consumers are becoming increasingly ethically conscious and expect their suppliers to be actively working towards net zero.
Therefore, businesses need to be able to report on Scopes 1, 2, and 3 to be able to track and gain visibility of their carbon footprint to be able to improve their environmental impact.
Scope 1
Direct emissions i.e., company facilities and company vehicles.
Scope 2
Indirect emissions i.e., purchased electricity and heating for offices.
Scope 3
Indirect emissions that are not owned or controlled by your company but are influenced by your activities i.e., suppliers, transportation, waste disposal, and product use.
