Your challenges
To further improve their carbon footprint and move towards net zero in 2050, service companies can seek to reduce their use of fossil fuels for heating or improve the insulation of their buildings.
Another crucial issue is that of the value chain, known as ‘scope 3’: this is the perimeter of other indirect greenhouse gas emissions, which often represent more than 70% - sometimes even as much as 95% - of a firm's carbon footprint.
It's also the area over which a company doesn't always have control: the transport of goods upstream for the manufacturing of its product, the commuting and business trips of its employees, the procurement of products and services or the use and recycling of the products it sells... these are all aspects in which a company has a part to play with its stakeholders, so that its value chain becomes as sustainable as possible.
