Setting Science-based Targets – General and industry specific obstacles

for relevant greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions that are calculated on a scientific basis. Companies which aim to participate in the initiative are expected to set an ambitious target for reducing their  GHG emissions which is in line with the 2°C target of the 2015 Paris Climate Agreement. But setting SBTs is not always an easy task, and many corporations fail at this hurdle.

Transparenz bei Klimaschutzprojekten

Transparenz bei Klimaschutzprojekten

Ein Produkt als klimaneutral bezeichnen zu können, erfordert von Unternehmen die Einhaltung von festgelegten Schritten: der Berechnung von CO2-Emissionen, der Vermeidung und Reduktion dieser Emissionen und letztlich den Ausgleich von nicht vermeidbaren Emissionen über zertifizierte Kompensations- bzw. Klimaschutzprojekte. Vor allem die Schritte der Reduktion und Vermeidung von Emissionen sind essentiell. Was heißt Klimaneutralität? Klimaneutralität bedeutet,…

How to correctly calculate a company´s indirect Scope 3 emissions

Until recently, companies have focused on estimating their own operational emissions under Scope 1 and 2. But setting emission reduction targets throughout the complete value chain is increasingly becoming a new business norm to mitigate potential risks and highlight a comprehensive approach towards supply chain partners and suppliers for creating beneficial synergies. So not only direct scope 1 from owned or controlled sources, and indirect scope 2 emissions from the generation of purchased electricity, steam, heating, and cooling consumed by the reporting company, also all other indirect up- and downstream Scope 3 emissions along the value chain, which present a substantial part of a company´s GHG emissions, gain increasingly more attention from businesses.
