CO2 Strategy Plan
At DEUS, as discussed on Climate and reducing greenhouse gas emissions, we are currently implementing the following strategies for the different scopes defined by the Greenhouse Gas Protocol:
Scope 1 Emissions (Direct Emissions)
- Investing in energy-efficient technologies and equipment to reduce energy consumption and combustion-related emissions.
Scope 2 Emissions (Indirect Emissions from Purchased Energy)
- Purchasing renewable from third-party providers.
Scope 3 Emissions (Indirect Emissions from Other Sources)
- Promoting telecommuting and remote work options to reduce the need for business travel and employee commuting.
- Encouraging the use of video conferencing and virtual meetings as alternatives to in-person meetings.
- Implementing waste reduction and recycling programs to minimize emissions associated with waste disposal and landfilling.
Monitoring, Reporting, and Verification
- Engage with a third-party auditor (GSES) to review your emissions data, calculations, and offsetting efforts to ensure accuracy and transparency.
On the other hand, DEUS has future plans to maximize the compensation of CO2 emissions in scope 1, 2 and 3 and will continue to do so by calculating DEUS CO2 footprint using the Carbon Footprint tool. This will enable further action on the different emissions scopes defined on the GHG protocol for the scopes mentioned before:
Scope 1 Emissions (Direct Emissions)
- Identify and quantify direct emissions from sources that are owned or controlled by our company, such as:
- Combustion of fossil fuels (e.g., natural gas for heating, gasoline for fleet vehicles).
- Process emissions (e.g., emissions from industrial processes or manufacturing activities). - Implement emissions reduction strategies to minimize Scope 1 emissions, such as:
- Implementing process improvements and operational changes to optimize efficiency and minimize emissions.
Scope 2 Emissions (Indirect Emissions from Purchased Energy)
- Quantify indirect emissions associated with the generation of purchased electricity, heat, or steam consumed by your company.
- Implement strategies to reduce Scope 2 emissions and transition to cleaner energy sources, such as:
- Improving energy efficiency through energy management systems, building retrofits, and equipment upgrades to reduce electricity consumption.
Scope 3 Emissions (Indirect Emissions from Other Sources)
- Identify and quantify indirect emissions from sources not owned or directly controlled by our company, including:
- Emissions from business travel (e.g., air travel, ground transportation).
- Emissions from employee commuting.
- Emissions associated with upstream and downstream activities in the supply chain.
- Emissions from waste generation and disposal. - Implement strategies to address Scope 3 emissions and maximize compensation, such as:
- Collaborating with suppliers to optimize transportation and logistics practices, minimize emissions in the supply chain, and source materials from environmentally responsible suppliers.
- Offset remaining Scope 3 emissions through the purchase of high-quality carbon offsets from reputable projects.
Monitoring, Reporting, and Verification
- Regularly update DEUS carbon footprint assessment to reflect changes in operations, activities, and emissions sources.
- Transparently communicate our company's emissions reduction efforts, carbon offset purchases, and progress towards carbon neutrality to stakeholders through sustainability reports, websites, and other communication channels.
