Checklist

To-Do List to Reduce Carbon Emissions

This checklist contains the critical steps required to reduce your carbon footprint and enhance energy efficiency. It will help you lower your carbon emissions through initiatives such as the use of renewable energy, optimization of logistics processes, and waste management. Furthermore, you can support these processes with employee training and comprehensive sustainability programs.

Carbon Footprint Measurement and Reporting0/8

  • Do you have a corporate sustainability or integrated report?
  • Do you regularly calculate your facility's carbon footprint (Scope 1 & 2)?
  • Do you perform Scope 3 calculations?
  • Do you perform ISO 14064 verification?
  • Do you have emission reduction targets? If so, are these targets verified?
  • Are you included in global indices such as CDP, S&P, and TCFD?
  • Do you have a strategy for setting and verifying SBTI (Scope 1, 2, and 3) targets?
  • Have you developed carbon footprint reduction strategies for production, logistics, and energy consumption processes?

Transforming Energy Sources0/3

  • Have you transitioned from fossil fuels to renewable energy sources (solar, wind) to reduce fossil fuel consumption?
  • Have you ensured that your electricity supplier is selected from carbon-neutral or low-carbon energy providers?
  • Have you replaced fossil fuels used for energy production with low-emission alternatives (biofuel, natural gas)?

Energy Efficiency Initiatives0/3

  • Have you undertaken efforts to increase energy efficiency and thus reduce carbon emissions?
  • Have you reduced energy consumption by using energy-efficient equipment and machinery?
  • Have you optimized production processes to reduce energy consumption and consequently emissions in energy-intensive processes?

Monitoring Sectoral Carbon Emission Benchmarks0/3

  • Do you know the carbon emission benchmarks specific to your sector and compare your facility against that data?
  • Have you analyzed the carbon emission rates of your production processes against sectoral averages?
  • Have you determined your carbon emission reduction targets based on sectoral averages?

Waste and Recycling Management0/3

  • Are you optimizing your waste management system and implementing zero-waste initiatives at your facility?
  • Have you taken necessary steps to minimize the waste generated during the production process?
  • Do you have an industrial symbiosis effort included in your waste management and reduction processes?

Logistics and Transportation0/4

  • Have you implemented strategies to reduce carbon emissions by optimizing transportation processes (e.g., less fuel-consuming routes, vehicle sharing)?
  • Have you evaluated the use of electric or hybrid vehicles in your transportation and fleet?
  • Have you considered using options such as public transportation (shuttles, etc.) instead of individual commuting for employees?
  • Have you replaced your vehicle fleet with vehicles that consume less fuel and have lower emissions?

Raw Material and Supply Chain Management0/3

  • Do you perform an environmental impact analysis of your products?
  • Are you considering the use of recycled, bio-based, less carbon-intensive, and similar raw materials to reduce your product's environmental impact?
  • Do you prioritize environmental impact alongside quality and price parameters in your supplier selection?

Participating in Carbon Offset Programs0/3

  • Do you utilize IREC (International Renewable Energy Certificates)?
  • Have you participated in carbon offset programs (e.g., tree planting, investing in renewable energy projects) to balance your carbon emissions?
  • Have you considered purchasing carbon credits to offset your facility's emissions?

Water and Heat Savings0/5

  • Do you calculate your water footprint?
  • Have you minimized water consumption and heat losses to ensure energy savings?
  • Do you monitor and fix water leaks?
  • Do you use aerators in your faucets?
  • Have you implemented systems for wastewater recycling and reuse, thereby reducing energy and carbon emissions?

Employee Training and Awareness0/3

  • Do you provide regular training to your employees on carbon emission reduction?
  • Do you have "green office" initiatives or certifications?
  • Do you implement programs that incentivize employees to adopt sustainable behaviors?

Green Building Certifications and Energy Management0/2

  • Have you implemented applications aimed at reducing carbon emissions within building management systems (LEED, BREEAM)?
  • Do you monitor and optimize energy consumption and carbon emissions using Building Energy Management Systems (BMS)?

Energy Efficiency Training and Awareness0/2

  • Do you provide regular training to your employees on energy efficiency?
  • Do you implement incentive programs to inform and motivate employees about energy savings?
