CO2-Balancing
Sooner or later, you will be confronted with questions about the CO2-balance (also known as CO2-footprint) of your company and your products.
ClimatePartner’s CO2 footprint calculation offers companies the opportunity to analyze their own CO2 emissions, both as a company as well as for individual processes or products, thereby making it possible to identify relevant emissions sources.
Using this as a foundation, a comprehensive climate protection strategy with transparent, comprehendible climate protection objectives is developed that are tailored to the company’s objectives. In this manner, ClimatePartner offers companies package solutions for the entire process of emissions analysis and balancing, defining climate protection goals, identifying and implementing reduction potential, energy efficiency programs, individual measures and their communication.
Climate protection strategies are developed, implemented and evaluated in four blocks that build upon one another.
1. CO2 Footprint
The CO2 footprint constitutes the foundation for a climate protection strategy. It takes inventory of relevant greenhouse gas emissions [emissions balance].
2. Identifying Potential for Reduction
The CO2 footprint makes it possible to identify potential for reduction [emissions analysis]
3. Emissions Management
Using the emissions balance and analysis as a foundation, it’s possible to define measures and objectives for reduction. Those measures are then implemented.
4. Monitoring and Reporting
Based on the measures and objectives defined, progress is audited with regard to strategy implementation and goal achievement.
A more profound analysis of the CO2 footprint [= emissions balance] makes it possible for ClimatePartner to identify potential for reducing greenhouse gas emissions in your company. The first step of this phase can identify so-called “quick wins” and launch measures accordingly.
A more precise analysis of the various business activities, processes and behavior [modular method] is needed to develop middle- and long-term measures. Emissions analysis constitutes the foundation for the third block of a comprehensive climate protection strategy – emissions management.
