Measuring a company's carbon footprint is just the first step in taking concrete action to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions and limit its impact on global warming.
Here are the main stages in the construction of an emissions reduction action plan, which Traace customers generally carry out:
- Analysis of Bilan Carbone data to identify the main sources of emissions.
- For the main sources of emissions, identification of opportunities for reducing 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 reduction trajectories at group level and/or for the company's various entities:
SBTi, Objective Carbon Neutrality, SNBC, etc.
- Construction of one or more action plans based on the modelled catalog of actions, enabling targets to be met and 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.
