ProSustentia team measured the organization’s environmental impact in terms of greenhouse gas emissions related to activities carried out during 2022, based on the GHG Protocol methodology. The identified emission sources correspond solely to Scope 3, taking into consideration that the organization does not have direct emissions (Scope 1) or indirect emissions from purchased electricity (Scope 2).
The Scope 3 emission sources considered include corporate travel, telecommuting, and inputs. As a result, in 2022, the organization emitted 1.7 t CO2eq, mainly associated with air corporate travel (82.1%), followed by telecommuting (15.2%). Corporate land travel emissions (2.7%) and emissions from paper use (0.1%) are the lowest contributors. Within the total emissions, CO2 has the highest representation, while methane (CH4) and nitrous oxide (N2O) have minimal participation. Expressing the results in terms of intensity relative to the number of employees, in 2022, each collaborator emitted on average 0.28 tCO2eq.
Measuring the organization’s carbon footprint is a significant step towards defining mitigation measures efficiently and reducing carbon emissions in the coming years, an impact that can be evaluated with future measurements.
Continuing with the goal of carbon neutrality, in this case, the emissions were offset through The Carbon Sink platform, with a direct participation project: “Corredor de los Cedros“. This project involves conservation and reforestation of native forests in the Yungas-Jujeñas ecoregion, which faces high deforestation pressure.
