A guide to reducing carbon emissions

To support enterprises in reducing their value chain emissions, the science-based carbon accounting software Normative has released a free guide: Enterprise Value Chain Carbon Emission Reduction: Six Building Blocks to Measure and Reduce Value Chain Carbon Emissions.

The guide helps big businesses to get started measuring and reducing their emissions, in order to stay compliant with current legislation and stay competitive in the market.

A company’s value chain includes both upstream emissions from the supply chain – the smaller businesses that provide the services, products, and resources that go into the company’s end products – as well as downstream emissions from product use and disposal.

“We know that many businesses want to do the right thing and reduce their carbon emissions. Value chain emissions are extremely complex to measure and reduce, but businesses that manage (them) will see the greatest overall impact on carbon reduction. With this guide, we want to make carbon accounting accessible to enterprises worldwide,” explains Kristian Rönn, CEO and co-founder of Normative.

Normative is the world’s first emission accounting engine, helping businesses calculate their entire climate footprint and reduce their greenhouse gas emissions. The company, headquartered in Stockholm, Sweden, has hundreds of customers, and partners with leading climate change organisations including the UN to deliver actionable sustainability intelligence.

“We created this guide to support enterprises with engaging their value chains and taking action. When they do so, they’re not only helping fight climate change – they’re avoiding greenwashing, keeping themselves compliant, and staying competitive on the market,” says Rönn.
