Qu'est-ce que le bilan carbone ?

Le bilan carbone est une méthode de comptabilisation des émissions de gaz à effet de serre d'une entreprise. Il permet d'identifier les sources d'émissions et de mettre en place des actions pour les réduire.

Quels sont les scopes d'émissions ?

Les scopes 1, 2 et 3 représentent respectivement les émissions directes, les émissions indirectes liées à l'énergie achetée et les émissions indirectes de la chaîne de valeur.

Pourquoi est-il important de réaliser un bilan carbone ?

Réaliser un bilan carbone permet aux entreprises de mieux comprendre leur impact environnemental et de s'engager dans une démarche de réduction des émissions, ce qui peut améliorer leur image et répondre aux attentes des parties prenantes.

Comment se déroule la collecte des données ?

La collecte des données implique l'identification des sources d'émissions, la récupération des informations pertinentes et la collaboration avec les différents services de l'entreprise pour garantir l'exhaustivité des données.

Quels bénéfices peut-on attendre d'un plan d'action de réduction ?

Un plan d'action de réduction des émissions peut entraîner des économies de coûts, une amélioration de l'efficacité énergétique, ainsi qu'une meilleure conformité réglementaire et une image de marque renforcée.
