Rather than focusing solely on cost, many firms co-create sustainability roadmaps with material and equipment suppliers. Benefits include reduced Scope 3 emissions, improved energy efficiency, better traceability, and exploration of new processing solutions.Talking to the right peopleWith so many factors to consider, open and timely dialogue is ...
Fuel is something no mine can operate without and one of the most volatile and closely watched cost drivers in open-pit mining. When prices fluctuate, every operation feels the impact, just as we do in our personal lives. Fuel is consistently a tier-one or tier-two expense, and because haulage fuel burn scales directly with total resistance (grade plus rolling resistance) the condition of your ...
This economic incentive not only enhances project bankability but also reinforces the environmental value of pyrolysis-based recycling systems. Emission Reduction Through Waste Diversion Every ton of end-of-life tire diverted from landfilling or open burning prevents significant greenhouse gas emissions. ...
We may only be a few months into 2025 but already there’s been a seismic shift in global trade. Protectionism and tariff wars are realigning trading partners and supply chains. With higher prices knocking consumer confidence, and the global economy heading for a recession, quality management is more critical than ever if businesses are to ...
On November 10,2022, the Biden-Harris Administration made a significant move to tackle greenhouse gas emissions and safeguard the Federal Government's supply chains from financial risks linked to climate change. In line with President Biden's Executive Orders on Climate-Related Financial Risk and Catalyzing Clean Energy Industries and Jobs Through Federal Sustainability, the Administration ...
The global shift to cleaner energy to combat climate change has been driving industries to radically green their operations to economically thrive and remain relevant for years. The mining industry, however, is one of the most important industries that will help the world in achieving net-zero goals. A greener future is impossible without mining by-products as well as the sector’s adoption ...
A greenhouse gas (GHG) is a gaseous compound with the ability to trap heat (or longwave radiation) in the Earth’s atmosphere. This results in high temperatures being retained in the lower atmosphere, thus allowing less heat to escape back to space. Common GHGs present in the atmosphere include fluorinated gases (chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) (e.g., tetrafluoromethane (CF4)) and ...
For setting an SBTi target, a company is required to calculate Scope 1 and 2 emissions and screen Scope 3 emissions in order to determine whether a target is going to be needed. If scope 3 emissions comprise more than 40% of the total footprint, the SBT should ...
Generally speaking, organisational scope 3 emissions represent about 80% of the carbon emissions in a corporation’s value chain. However, it is hard to find a corporation’s sustainability report that shows total scope 3 emissions at any more than the total of ...
The term net zero has three limbs: Calculate the carbon footprint. Reduce GHG emissions to a minimum. Offset the residual emissions. That seems fairly straight forward on the surface of it but misunderstanding abounds about the Scope 3 emissions that should be included in the carbon footprint (and that ...
Whether they have considered existing and emerging regulatory requirements related to climate change (e.g., limits on emissions) as well as other relevant factors. Organizations should also consider disclosing the following: Processes for assessing the potential size and scope of identified risks. ...
To highlight the importance of COP26 Particle Measuring Systems is encouraging involvement from our employees to emphasize the role we can play individually and as a team in lowering our footprint. As part of our sustainability commitment, all Particle Measuring Systems employees have been offered the Giki app to help them understand their individual carbon footprint and get options on how to ...

Notable commitments under these pillars include: Committing to sharing minority & gender pay equity results and ensuring no human rights violations from key suppliers Reducing carbon emissions from operations by 50% Achieving carbon neutrality Certifying 100% of manufacturing sites as zero waste-to-landfill Certifying 10% of manufacturing sites as zero water discharge ...
At the 2021 Cool Farm Alliance Annual General Meeting, Hal Hamilton, Co-Founder at the Sustainable Food Lab, moderated a thought-provoking session on “Enabling change – leverage points to scale regenerative agriculture and GHG emission reductions” with leading stakeholders from the agri-food industry and members of the Cool Farm Alliance: Luc Beerens, Global Sustainable ...
Scope 3 emissions can account for up to 80% of total GHG emissions. They have the potential to dominate the overall carbon footprint, which in turn can put a company’s net zero or decarbonization approach and SBT initiatives at risk. In the past, the focus of corporate climate strategies used to be on direct ...
Climate change is an unavoidable reality. For decades, scientists and activists have tried to shed light on this global crisis, and those efforts are finally taking hold. Consumers are increasingly demanding transparency when it comes to sustainable business practices. Many businesses have made promises to become more sustainable or improve their carbon emissions, but empty promises will no ...
Scope 3 includes all other indirect emissions from a company’s value chain. ...
However, one important discussion is missing here. Along with direct emissions reduction and sourcing of renewable energy, indirect emissions reduction, both upstream and downstream, are the keys to decarbonization. The question then arises – how should Scope 3 emissions be calculated, and with which data, ...
As a way to sum up this challenge and provide practical steps to tackling scope 3 emissions, we’ll review what scope 3 means, its current impact and effective ways to reducing the emissions. What are scope 3 emissions? ...
