Measuring a company's carbon footprint is just the first step in setting up a climate plan, taking concrete action and effectively reducing greenhouse gas emissions in order to limit its impact on global warming.
Here are the main stages in the construction of an action plan to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, which Traace customers generally carry out:
- Analysis of Bilan Carbone data to identify the main emission sources.
- For the main emission sources, identification of opportunities to reduce emissions through concrete action. Electrification of a vehicle fleet, switching to biogas, reducing purchases of new raw materials in favor of recycled materials, etc.
- Modeling the positive environmental impact of the decarbonization actions identified: how many tons of CO2 will each action enable me to save, depending on the perimeters concerned and the schedule according to which they will be deployed?
- Modeling the financial impact of actions to reduce GHG emissions: how much will it cost or what will be the savings generated by the deployment of each action? Required investments, CapEx, OpEx, projected cash flow over several years, etc.
- Modeling of one or more decarbonization trajectories at group level and/or for the company's various entities
: Net Zero,
SBTi, Objective
Carbon Neutrality, SNBC (Stratégie Nationale Bas-Carbone), etc.
- Construction of one or more action plans based on the modelled action catalog, enabling targets consistent with those of the Paris Agreement to be met, and the defined reduction trajectories to be maintained.
- Local refinement of carbon and financial modelling by internal experts and/or external stakeholders, to improve the quality of impact analysis data.
