The Paris Agreement committed governments to limit global temperature rise to 2°C, and preferably to 1.5°C. Companies, as the largest emitters of greenhouse gases (GHGs), must halve emissions by 2030 and achieve net zero emissions by 2050.
Science Based Targets" (SBTs) are targets defined by companies, aligned with the criteria of the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), to reduce their GHG emissions. SBTs drive decarbonisation, aiming to become a competitive advantage and ensure that targets are consistent with scientific recommendations to mitigate climate change. More than 80% of the 500 largest companies have already set reduction targets, reflecting a corporate commitment to a low-carbon economy.
Setting SBT targets in companies offers several key advantages:
• Boosting innovation: Encourages innovation and technological development, positioning companies as leaders in the transition to a low-emission economy.
• Saving money and competitiveness: Ensures long-term efficiency and sustainability, crucial in a resource-costly future, improving competitive position and profitability.
• Building credibility and reputation: Strengthens reputation among stakeholders by leading on climate issues, building trust among investors, customers and employees.
• Influencing and preparing for regulatory change: Places companies ahead of future regulations, enabling influence on key policies and reducing regulatory uncertainty.
Analisi del calcolo dell'impronta di carbonio tutte le emissioni generate durante il ciclo di vita di un prodotto, compresi l'estrazione, la produzione, il trasporto, l'uso e lo smaltimento delle materie prime.
Le metodologie più riconosciute sono:
Strumenti digitali come Dcycle semplifica il processo, fornendo informazioni accurate e fruibili.
Alcune strategie richiedono investimento iniziale, ma i benefici a lungo termine superano i costi.
Investire nella riduzione delle emissioni di carbonio non è solo un'azione ambientale, è un strategia aziendale intelligente.
