Why is it essential to reduce your industry’s carbon footprint?

Greenhouse gases are the main factor in climate change. They cause global temperature rise, glacier melt, sea level rise, and the 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 start their transition to low-carbon production.

ESG Criteria and European Taxonomy

As part of the goal to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050, the European Commission is evolving regulations to favor investments in sustainable companies and economic activities.

To this end, the European taxonomy classifies economic activities according to their environmental impact. Companies will have to indicate the share of sustainable activities in their revenue, expenses, and investments.

Additionally, ESG (environmental, social, and governance) criteria qualify an investment as “responsible” or not. Large groups are already required to provide more transparent financial reports 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 prove their activities comply with these new criteria.

Our mission at Dametis: to provide industrialists with the tools to improve their environmental performance and comply with these new requirements.

National Low-Carbon Strategy (SNBC)

In France, the Ministry of Ecological Transition has implemented a roadmap to combat climate change: the National Low-Carbon Strategy (SNBC).

The SNBC provides guidelines for each activity 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 increase its ambitions, with carbon budgets set in 4-year periods to accelerate the energy transition (2019-2023, 2024-2028, and 2029-2033).

Science-based Targets (SBTi)

Based on scientific research, SBTi targets provide companies with clear and precise guidance to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions in line with the Paris Agreement’s goals.

The goal: limit global warming to below +2°C compared to pre-industrial levels and strive to limit warming to +1.5°C.

Over 4,000 companies across all sectors are working with the SBTi initiative worldwide. This organization validates each company’s zero-carbon roadmap and monitors their carbon emission reduction progress year after year.
