Getting started

  • You received a request from stakeholders or from the Carbon Disclosure Project?
  • Your company has to perform a carbon footprint study according to the French law (Grenelle 2 – Article 75)?

Looking for improvement

  • You want to report your scope 3 emissions along the whole supply chain or increase the number of scope 3 categories you account for?
  • You want to improve your company’s  “CDP disclosure score”?
  • You want to go beyond Excel spread sheets?

Aiming at adding value

  • You want to put in place a carbon reduction plan and engage with your suppliers towards a reduction of your scope 3 emissions?
  • You want to implement eco-design of your products to reduce their impact?
  • You want to communicate on your carbon footprint results?

 

Quantis can help you address these needs in three ways:

The software Quantis SUITE 2.0: an easy to use, flexible and powerful software, allowing your team of sustainability experts to perform the environmental footprint on corporate, site or product level.

Support and coaching along the different steps of the carbon footprint of your company: our team of experts will guide your staff towards the realisation of the study and towards autonomy in carbon accounting.

Outsourcing of the study: with a reliable, well-known partner.

 

Why choosing Quantis

Quantis builds on its extensive experience in LCA (corporate, sites, products, technologies) to provide solutions to organisations who would like to assess, manage and communicate their environmental impacts. This includes the GHG emissions from direct energy consumption (scope 1), from electricity consumption (scope 2) and from the organisation's whole value chain (scope 3).

Working with one of the leaders in Life Cycle Assessment for a corporate footprint is fully relevant since the inclusion of Life Cycle Thinking at the core of the new corporate reporting standards, e.g. the GHG Protocol Corporate Value Chain (Scope 3) Accounting and Reporting Standard in October 2011, or the Carbon Disclosure Project, as well as legislation in many countries.

As one of the most experienced firms in LCA globally, our expertise allows us to quickly identify the key aspects of your organisation to focus on, ensuring the most efficient and meaningful use of your corporate carbon footprint in terms of management or communication.
