WE CAN MAKE A SUCCESS OF THE CARBON TRANSITION TOGETHER
The keys are on this site!
3 decades after Kyoto, we still don’t have the essential information we need when deciding between equivalent products: what is their carbon impact?
– What is the carbon impact of a purchase, its carbon content
– What is the carbon impact of an investment, its carbon profitability.
This site gives you the keys to answering these questions and making a successful transition:
The Transmission label enables each public authority to highlight producers who apply THE best practice for the transition: voluntarily passing on the carbon impact of their products to their customers.
The Carbon Economy enables all producers (companies, financial institutions, public authorities, etc.) to calculate, monitor and pass on to their customers the carbon impact of their products (including financial products).
Your keys to a successful transition together
– You only have a second? Click here to receive our publications and to be informed of the preparation of the Transmission label campaign: so that the public authorities highlight producers who ‘pass on’ to their customers the carbon impact of their products.
– Have you got fifteen minutes? Discover our series Making a success of the carbon transition in 12 episodes.
– Have you got an hour? Discover the free webinars, tutorials and calculators to take advantage of the Carbon Economy: you, your company, your city, your financial institution and of course the transition.
Greenhouse gases released into the atmosphere are the cause of climate change, the disruption of the water cycle and are one of the main reasons for the loss of biodiversity. Their common unit of measurement is the weight in CO2 equivalents : the weight of each gas is reduced to the weight of CO2 (the main greenhouse gas or carbon dioxide) which would have the same greenhouse effect over the same period of time (100 years).
– Have you got an hour? Discover webinars, tutorials and free calculators that show you how to benefit from Carbon Saving.
– You have a quarter of an hour? Discover our series Réussir la transition carbone in 2-minute episodes.
– Have you got a second? Click here to receive our publications, and to be informed in particular about the preparation of the TRANSMISSION label campaign: to ensure that the public authorities really reward producers who pass on the carbon impact of their products to their customers.
A product’s money performance is its price: the total costs that went into producing what the customer buys.
Its carbon performance is its carbon content: all the net greenhouse gas emissions required to produce what the customer buys (also called footprint, cumulative emissions, upstream scopes 1, 2 and 3…).
The money performance of a project (or its financing) is its profitability: it compares how much money the project will bring in, with the money it requires to be invested in the first place.
Its carbon performance is its carbon profitability: it compares how much carbon the project will remove from the atmosphere, with the carbon that the project obliges to emit in the first place.
As with money, carbon profitability can be positive or negative.
