Carbon Footprinting helps you understand which parts of your supply chain have the greatest impact
What makes up a Carbon Footprint?
Scope 1 (a direct emission):
e.g. gas usage on your main site
own transportation
Scope 2 (an indirect emission):
Emissions associated with generation of electricity
heat or steam
Scope 3 (indirect emissions):
Emissions associated with materials coming into the site (upstream)
Emissions associated with generation and distribution of fuels
Emissions due to activities linked to your product once it has left site (downstream)
Scope 3 calculation can be made directly from your financial data if your suppliers cannot at first provide a carbon footprint
Maltdoctor uses UK government approved spend based conversion models to get you up and running to establish supply chain impact
Questions that may stop you progressing

-
How do I decide which model to use?
-
How do I become an expert?
-
Where do I find conversion factors?
-
What if I am uncertain about the accuracy of my data?
-
How do I report carbon footprint performance?
-
Some of my colleagues don't believe in climate change so how do I engage them in this?

Explain to your teams what a carbon footprint is, how to deal with uncertainty and what not to worry about.
-
Determine the audience who will be interested in the data and why
-
Define the data sets required
-
Determine areas where improved data collection may be required or define the basis of estimation
-
Set up initial modelling to find the profile of carbon in your supply chain
-
Create your first carbon footprint model
-
Write a report of carbon emissions for stakeholders
-
Determine a plan to reduce carbon emissions most effectively by addressing the most significant areas
