Why do we need to measure our carbon emissions?
The emissions evaluation is MANDATORY and part of the CSRD and Solvay Climate policy.
Solvay target is to reduce by 20% the Co2 emission in Scope 3 (- 20% in 9 years 2021-2030).
The internal attempts to calculate the workload emissions were not satisfactory, and we had no certified and validated methodology to measure of these emissions for the inbound/outbound shipments, to ensure compliance with Scope 3 of the Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Protocol.
Using this certified platform aligns the methodology to calculate Co2 emissions to all GBUs for the scope 3.4 and 3.9 (Upstream /Downstream transportation and distribution).
The certification is key for our external auditors and final customers.
