GreenFlex Sustainable development strategy and roadmap Measuring GHG emissions

Measuring and reducing your greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions

Measuring and understanding your GHG emissions are the first steps in drawing up a low-carbon transition plan and implementing concrete actions to reduce these emissions. GreenFlex supports you in these two subjects, using a tried and tested methodology that takes into account the specific characteristics of your business and your company.

Measuring carbon emissions, a prerequisite for designing an ambitious low-carbon strategy

Measuring and reducing your GHG emissions is a genuine corporate project that involves all the business lines (operations, purchasing, logistics, HR, property, innovation, production). The principle is simple:

Retrieve data representing the company’s activity and convert it into GHG emissions to measure the emissions directly linked to the organisation’s activities (scopes 1 and 2), as well as those upstream and downstream (scope 3).
Quick access to the organisation’s data, broken down by scope 1, 2 and 3 or according to the 6 categories of the ISO 14 064 standard, and to the GHG balance table in compliance with current regulations.

This mapping enables us to identify the main issues and the appropriate actions to be taken to reduce emissions:

Reducing energy consumption (energy sobriety and efficiency)
Optimising people’s journeys through mobility plans
Implementing a low-carbon logistics policy
Implementing a low-carbon purchasing policy
Substitution of fossil fuels by renewable and recovered energies
Waste management as part of the circular economy (reduction, reuse, recycling, recovery)

In France, companies with more than 500 employees (every 4 years) and local authorities with more than 50,000 inhabitants, public establishments with more than 250 employees and government departments (every 3 years) must carry out a greenhouse gas emissions report (BEGES) using the Carbon Footprint methodology.

The objectives of a tried and trusted method

GreenFlex’s methodology for calculating GHG emissions and developing a transition plan follows the ISO 14064 standard, uses the Carbon Footprint methodology and is compatible with the requirements of the GHG Protocol.

GreenFlex applies all the standards applicable in France and internationally to:

1. Raise your employees’ awareness of climate change

2. Define the scope and prepare for data collection

3. Analyse the data collected and calculate GHG emissions

4. Define and promote the implementation of a transition plan to reduce GHG emissions

The benefits of measuring and reducing greenhouse gas emissions

This approach can go further, by integrating the GHG issue into your corporate strategy, setting targets that are compatible with climate requirements or investing in or developing sequestration projects.

Drawing up a greenhouse gas emissions balance enables you to:

Meeting the growing demands of your customers
Winning new markets
Improve your organisation’s non-financial performance
Help obtaining existing certification (ISO 14 001, B-Corp)

The concrete implementation of reduction actions will make it possible to:

Reduce your dependence on fossil fuels
Involving suppliers in reducing their GHG emissions
Involving employees in a meaningful process
Reduce your exposure to risk while increasing your competitiveness and attractiveness
