Since 2021, LGE have provided comprehensive carbon footprint services to a leading manufacturer of fire protection products who have been in operation for over 100 years and specialise in products which offer protection for brickwork, facades, ventilation and service penetrations. LGE has provided carbon footprint services for their domestic supply chain emissions and incorporated overseas emissions.
Calculating Scope 1 & 2:
- LGE calculated emissions in-line with Greenhouse Gas Reporting (GHG) protocols with a focus on Scope 1 (direct emissions) and Scope 2 (indirect emissions).
- This was achieved through determining organisational boundaries and reporting periods, with a data schedule determined and data collected.
- LGE processed and analysed this data and produced an annual report, with the data being made accessible to the client via LGE’s system to visualise their year-on-year changes in emissions outputs.
Calculating Scope 3:
- LGE also incorporated both domestic and international Scope 3 (supply-chain) emissions to ensure that the client was provided with the complete picture on the carbon footprint and helped the client continue to achieve its carbon footprint objectives annually.
- To assist with the reduction and elimination of Scope 3 emissions, LGE guided and supported the client toward working with stakeholders in their supply chains.
Energy Audits:
- LGE provided energy audits to assist with improving site efficiency, reducing energy wastage and assisting in accurate reporting.
- The audit detailed all aspects of energy supply, distribution, usage and management at the client’s sites, assessing all economically viable courses of action to reduce consumption, taking both technical and operational factors into account.
- LGE produced reports for the client which examined all areas for energy savings under consideration, stating budget costs, savings, simple payback periods and emissions reductions.
Net Zero Strategy:
- LGE developed a carbon net zero strategy which considered energy reduction, procurement strategies, on-site generation, technology change/substitution and carbon offsetting.
- The strategy entailed mutually agreed upon targets and timeframes to achieve carbon net zero and ensured it was carried out in line with all existing obligations, including Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) requirements.
- Ensuring that the strategy was done in line with SBTi allowed reporting to be in a common format and achieve the correct public disclosure.
