On this April 22, let’s take a moment to reflect on our impact on the planet. Because beyond good intentions, it’s essential to truly understand our environmental footprint.
Every organization, every product, every service has an environmental impact. But do we really know how to measure it in order to reduce it effectively?
🔎 Did you know?
📌 50 to 90% of a company’s greenhouse gas emissions typically come from Scope 3 (suppliers, transportation, product usage, etc.) (source: Global Climate Initiatives, 2022).
📌 80% of a product’s environmental impact is directly linked to its design (source: Ecodesign your future – How ecodesign can help the environment by making products smarter, European Commission, 2012).
💡What can we do?
✔️ Carry out a Carbon Footprint Assessment (Bilan Carbone®) to identify the main sources of greenhouse gas emissions and prioritize reduction actions.
✔️ Integrate Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) into your ecodesign strategy to evaluate the full range of environmental impacts across the entire product life cycle and support more sustainable choices (materials, processes, features…).
✔️ Raise awareness and train your teams to make reducing environmental impact a collective effort.
With its expertise and training in greenhouse gas emissions accounting, LCA, and ecodesign, NUMTECH supports companies in reducing their environmental footprint and adopting more sustainable practices, offering a customized approach tailored to their context and challenges.
On this Earth Day, let’s commit together to a more sustainable future. 🌏💚
