Organizational carbon footprint analysis Anverally and Sons (Pvt)LtdKasun Wijerathna
A carbon footprint is the total greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions caused directly and indirectly by an individual, organisation, event or product, and is expressed as a carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e).
Carbon footprint analysis services include an assessment of an organization’s carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases (GHGs) assessment. All related activities that the company has are examined in detail. Activity based GHGs emission inventory is extracted and results are reported according to ISO 14064 standards.
By calculating carbon footprint, it can manage the energy consumption of an organization (renewable energy source), check conformance with current regulation, to prepare new regulations, take attention of institutional investors, to add a prestige to certain company and also enables them to participate in carbon credit activities.

January 2024. Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) is a framework that helps investors evaluate how a company manages risk and opportunities around sustainability issues. ESG takes a comprehensive view that extends beyond the environmental aspect to include the social and corporate governance aspects.
ESG metrics are non-financial indicators that evaluate companies' ESG performance. They are quantitative, such as GHG emissions; and qualitative, such as Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI).
ESG reporting is the public disclosure of ESG data. Its purpose is to shed light on a company’s ESG activities and improve transparency with investors.
ESG reporting offers many advantages to a business, including improved reputation, being more attractive to investors, competitive advantage, improved performance, resilient and sustainable business, capacity building, and climate change mitigation.
However, ESG reporting faces challenges such as the lack of a universal standard, being complex requiring specialized expertise, risk of greenwashing, and constantly changing regulations.
An ESG framework is a structured approach to ESG reporting. Using an ESG framework produces measurable, actionable, and credible results.
ESG standards translate ESG framework principles into action by specifying factors such as metrics, methodologies, and reporting formats. The absence of a universal ESG reporting standard has resulted in reliance on various standards.
The most commonly used ESG reporting standards include Task Force on Climate related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) and United Nations Global Compact (UNGC).
ESG compliance refers to meeting or exceeding ESG guidelines established by the compliance frameworks and regulatory bodies.
An ESG rating, also called an ESG score, provides a benchmark for investors to evaluate a company’s ESG performance and compare it to other companies.
Policy wise, the Sustainable Stock Exchanges (SSE) initiative was launched in 2009 to improve corporate transparency and performance on ESG issues. The SSE is coordinated by United Nations Global Compact (UNGC), UN Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD), and UN Department of Economic and Social Affairs (UNDESA).

More than eighty percent of the world’s 500 largest companies established emission reduction or energy-specific targets in the 2014-15 financial year, according to CDP. Clearly, the business community is invested in preventing the adverse consequences of climate change and seizing opportunities in the new low-carbon economy. The next step in protecting that investment is to ensure that greenhouse gas reduction targets are set at the rate consistent with the pace recommended by climate scientists to limit the worst impacts of climate change. Science Based Targets is a joint initiative by CDP, the UN Global Compact (UNGC), the World Resources Institute (WRI) and WWF that raises the ambition of corporate mitigation efforts and drives bolder business solutions by identifying and promoting innovative approaches to corporate greenhouse gas (GHG) target setting.

World Resources Institute hosted a launch event on 21 November 2014 for two new Greenhouse Gas Protocol Standards to inform government climate change strategies.
Building on previous GHG Protocol standards, the Policy and Action Standard helps evaluate the effectiveness of specific policies or measures in achieving greenhouse gas emissions reductions, empowering policymakers and analysts to better assess and communicate their progress. The Mitigation Goal Standard takes a bigger picture view, enabling governments to determine their emissions trajectory and whether their policy portfolio aligns with reaching their climate goals. Both standards are applicable for all levels of government.

UNDERSTANDING WHAT GREEN WASHING IS!.pdfJulietMogola
Many companies today use green washing to lure the public into thinking they are conserving the environment but in real sense they are doing more harm. There have been such several cases from very big companies here in Kenya and also globally. This ranges from various sectors from manufacturing and goes to consumer products. Educating people on greenwashing will enable people to make better choices based on their analysis and not on what they see on marketing sites.

"Understanding the Carbon Cycle: Processes, Human Impacts, and Strategies for...MMariSelvam4
The carbon cycle is a critical component of Earth's environmental system, governing the movement and transformation of carbon through various reservoirs, including the atmosphere, oceans, soil, and living organisms. This complex cycle involves several key processes such as photosynthesis, respiration, decomposition, and carbon sequestration, each contributing to the regulation of carbon levels on the planet.
Human activities, particularly fossil fuel combustion and deforestation, have significantly altered the natural carbon cycle, leading to increased atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations and driving climate change. Understanding the intricacies of the carbon cycle is essential for assessing the impacts of these changes and developing effective mitigation strategies.
By studying the carbon cycle, scientists can identify carbon sources and sinks, measure carbon fluxes, and predict future trends. This knowledge is crucial for crafting policies aimed at reducing carbon emissions, enhancing carbon storage, and promoting sustainable practices. The carbon cycle's interplay with climate systems, ecosystems, and human activities underscores its importance in maintaining a stable and healthy planet.
In-depth exploration of the carbon cycle reveals the delicate balance required to sustain life and the urgent need to address anthropogenic influences. Through research, education, and policy, we can work towards restoring equilibrium in the carbon cycle and ensuring a sustainable future for generations to come.

transition to the low-carbon economy.
Science Based Targets initiative
10. An initiative by In collaboration with
What is a science-based target?
A greenhouse gas emissions reduction target aligned with the latest climate science.
Defines how much and how quickly companies need to cut their emissions to ensure they
contribute their part to the global effort to prevent dangerous climate change.
Gives companies a clear vision of where they need to be in the future, challenging them
to transform their business and help create a low-carbon economy where they can thrive.

The Science Based Targets initiative
is calling on companies to
demonstrate their leadership on
climate action by publicly committing
to science-based greenhouse gas
reduction targets.

14. An initiative by In collaboration with
SBTi Call to Action eligibility criteria
1. Boundary
Covers company-wide scope 1 and scope 2
emissions and all GHGs as required in the
GHG Protocol Corporate Standard.
2. Timeframe
Commitment period must cover a minimum of 5
years and a maximum of 15 years from the
date the target is submitted for an official
quality check.
3. Level of ambition
At a minimum, the target will be consistent with
the level of decarbonization required to keep
global temperature increase to 2°C compared
to pre-industrial temperatures, though we
encourage companies to pursue greater efforts
towards a 1.5° trajectory.
Intensity targets are only eligible when they
lead to absolute emission reductions in line
with climate science or when they are modelled
using an approved sector pathway or method
(e.g. the Sectoral Decarbonization Approach).
All five criteria are mandatory
15. An initiative by In collaboration with
SBTi Call to Action eligibility criteria
4. Scope 3
Companies must complete a scope 3 screening
for all relevant scope 3 categories in order to
determine their significance per the GHG
Protocol Corporate Value Chain (Scope 3)
Accounting and Reporting Standard.
An ambitious and measurable scope 3 target
with a clear time-frame is required when scope
3 emissions cover a significant portion (greater
than 40% of total scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions)
of a company’s overall emissions.
The target boundary must include the majority
of value chain emissions as defined by the
GHG Protocol Corporate Value Chain (Scope
3) Accounting and Reporting Standard
5. Reporting
Disclose GHG emissions inventory on an
annual basis.

A) Sector-based approach
B) Absolute-based
approach
C) Economic-based
approach
Based on absolute emissions reductions determined in
climate reports (e.g. 49-72% reduction in IPCC 5th AR).
Based on the average emissions reductions determined
in climate reports per projected economic output.

Kering commits to reduce scope 1, scope 2
and scope 3 emissions from upstream
transportation and distribution, business air
travel and fuel-and-energy related emissions
50% per unit of value added by 2025 from a
2015 base-year.
In addition, the company commits to reduce
scope 3 emissions from purchased goods
and services 40% per unit of value added
within the same timeframe. This is part of
their overall goal to reduce environmental
impacts upstream, such as air emissions,
water use, water pollution, land use change
and waste.
Marks & Spencer commits to reduce
absolute scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas
emissions 80% by 2030 below 2007 levels
and has a longer term vision to achieve
90% absolute emissions reductions by
2035, below 2007 levels.
Marks and Spencer also commits to
reduce scope 3 emissions by 133 MtCO2e
between 2007 and 2030.
Wal-mart Stores, Inc. commits to reduce
absolute scope 1 and 2 emissions 18% by
2025, from 2015 levels. Walmart will also
work to reduce CO2e emissions from
upstream and downstream scope 3
sources by one billion tonnes between
2015 and 2030.
