Reducing your CO2 emissions serves a dual purpose. Firstly, it actively contributes to the global effort to combat climate change by diminishing greenhouse gas emissions. Additionally, it provides you with a valuable tool for achieving better control over your emissions. The carbon footprint analysis pinpoints the primary sources of emissions within your business, allowing for more effective management and reduction.

This not only fosters environmental responsibility but also has a tangible impact on cost reduction, particularly in terms of energy and operational expenses. Furthermore, demonstrating your commitment to environmental sustainability through carbon footprinting aligns with the heightened expectations of consumers and investors.

Lastly, keeping up with legislative changes is made easier through the insights provided by your carbon footprint, ensuring that your business remains in compliance with continually shifting environmental regulations."

ESGlogic takes a snapshot of your direct and indirect emissions (scopes 1, 2 and 3), by studying the physical and monetary flows linked to your activity.

Basically, we collect all your company's activity data on the Greenly platform, then translate that activity into greenhouse gases.

Thanks to this innovative technology, we can automate the analysis and collection of this data. To date, there are over 100 business applications on the interface that enable us to quantify the majority of activities that generate carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions.

Performing a Bilan Carbone is mandatory for the following entities:

• Companies with over 500 employees

• Local authorities serving more than 50,000 inhabitants

• Government departments

• Public establishments employing over 250 people.

Nonetheless, it's essential to recognize that initiating this process voluntarily, even when not legally mandated, can yield significant benefits. It underscores your dedication to environmental concerns, as the carbon footprint serves as tangible evidence of your commitment to improvement and transparency in carbon management.

Furthermore, the regulations outlined in EU Directive 2014/95/EU (non-financial reporting) and the CSRD (Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive) necessitate businesses to evaluate their carbon emissions and implement measures for reduction.

Scope 1 direct emissions

Direct emissions come from resources owned and controlled by the company. These are the following emissions:

• Stationary and mobile combustion sources (fuel, heating, etc.)

• Fugitive (refrigeration and air conditioning)

• Process emissions (released during industrial manufacturing, excluding energy)

• Biomass (land-based activities, forestry)

Scope 2 - indirect emissions / energy

Indirect emissions correspond to the consumption of final energy whose emissions are not emitted at the point of consumption, but come from the production of energy purchased from a utility supplier. For most organisations, electricity will be the only source of Scope 2 emissions. In practical terms, this involves the purchase of electricity consumption and heating/cooling networks.

Scope 3 indirect energy emissions

Other indirect emissions correspond to the broadest scope for calculating GHG emissions. These are all the indirect emissions produced by the company's activity and not included in Scope 2. They are produced in the company's entire value chain:

• UPSTREAM: Business and home-to-work travel by employees, upstream leased assets, waste, wastewater, goods and services purchased, fuels and energy not included in Scope 1 and 2, capital goods, upstream transport of goods, etc.


• DOWNSTREAM: Transport of goods downstream, end-of-life treatment of products sold, use of products sold, investments, upstream leased assets downstream, franchises downstream...
