Reduce your industry’s carbon footprint
Reducing our carbon footprint is a global challenge in which industry plays a major role.
Find out about the latest political regulations on carbon footprint reduction.
Why is it essential to reduce your industry’s carbon footprint?
Greenhouse gases are the main cause of climate change.They are causing global warming, melting glaciers, rising oceans and an intensification of extreme weather events.
To limit the effects of climate change, regulations are evolving to push companies and organizations to reduce the carbon footprint of their activities and investments. Dametis helps your industrial sites begin their transition to low-carbon production.
1. ESG criteria and European taxonomy
As part of the drive to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050, the European Commission is developing regulations to encourage investment in sustainable companies and economic activities.
To this end, the European taxonomy classifies economic activities according to their impact on the environment. Companies are asked to indicate the proportion of their sales, expenditure and investment accounted for by sustainable activities.
In addition, ESG (environmental, social and governance) criteria can be used to qualify an investment as “responsible” or not. Major groups are already required to provide more transparent financial reporting to demonstrate their environmental commitment.
In this context, it is crucial for companies to have a precise and detailed view of their environmental performance to justify that their activity complies with these new criteria.
Our mission at Dametis is to provide manufacturers with the keys to improving their environmental performance and complying with these new requirements.
2. National Low-Carbon Strategy (SNBC)
In France, the Ministry of Ecological Transition has put in place a roadmap to combat climate change: the National Low-Carbon Strategy (SNBC).
The SNBC sets out guidelines for each activity in order to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Objectives: achieve carbon neutrality by 2050, reduce the carbon footprint of the French and transition to a low-carbon, circular and sustainable economy.Adopted in 2015, the SNBC was revised in 2018-2019 to revise its ambitions upwards, with carbon budgets set in 4-year periods to accelerate the energy transition (2019-2923, 2024-2028 and 2029-2033).
3. Science-based Targets (SBTi)
Based on scientific research, SBTi targets provide companies with a clear and precise path to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions in line with the objectives of the Paris Agreement.
The aim: to limit global warming to below +2°C compared with pre-industrial levels, and to continue efforts to limit warming to +1.5°C.
More than 4,000 companies from all sectors work with the SBTi initiative worldwide. This organization validates each company’s zero-carbon roadmap, and monitors its progress in reducing carbon emissions from year to year.
