DFGE introduces a new interactive Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) tool which enables companies to both set up science-based emission targets (SBTs) and develop a strategy on how to meet them at the lowest costs. More and more companies quantify their greenhouse gas emissions (Carbon Footprint), report them publicly (e.g. via CDP) and set up science-based emission targets…
Zur einheitlichen Berechnung der Treibhausgasemissionen – also des Carbon Footprint – von Transportdienstleistungen, hat das Deutsche Institut für Normung (DIN) einen Normentwurf zur DIN EN 16258: “Methode zur Berechnung und Deklaration des Energieverbrauchs und der Treibhausgasemissionen bei Transportdienstleistungen (Güter- und Personenverkehr)” vorgelegt. Noch bis zum 4. Juni können Stellungnahmen dazu als registrierte Einsprecher beim DIN…
