Greenhouse Business Challenge and Carbon Footprint

Week 12 – Presentation and Report
Organisations worldwide have been measuring their carbon footprint to prepare themselves for
carbon marketplaces. Companies measure their footprint several ways but one method sees carbon
classified as Scope 1, Scope 2 and Scope 3 emissions.
Scope1 carbon footprint is called the direct footprint and relates to the carbon footprint from
manufacturing a product or delivering a service. An example of scope 1 for Coca Cola would be the
carbon footprint from directly manufacturing their soft drink product. This however does not
include electricity usage.
Scope 2 carbon footprint is called indirect carbon emission from key indirect sources ie: purchased
electricity sources. This footprint relates to the amount of electricity used in an organisation. An
example of scope 2 for Coca Cola would be the carbon footprint from the amount of electricity
used both in manufacturing and head office and other areas. This should be easy to measure.
Scope 3 carbon footprint is called the supply chain footprint. This relates to the carbon footprint
generated by the distribution of a product along a supply chain or delivering a service along a supply
chain. An example of scope 3 for Coca Cola would be the carbon footprint generated from
delivering Coca Cola into vending machines.
These, taken together, constitute an organisation�s emissions inventory. The emissions inventory
contains the main sources of emissions and therefore identifies the opportunities for abatement,
and covers all areas of a business including energy use, operation of stationary equipment,
transport, supply chain engagement and waste generation. Once organisations have audited their
carbon footprint they then typically respond in three broad ways;
Carbon Footprint Responses
Response A: �What management structure, internal processes, policies and procedures will we use
to manage our Greenhouse Challenge� (Corporate Governance Response ), Response B:�How will
we lower our Scope 1, Scope 2 and Scope 3 footprints� What are the physical steps we need to
take to lower our footprint (Operations Response),
Response C:�How will we act responsibly� How do we respond in order to enhance our
reputation and protect our brand (Protect our Brand-CSR Response).
Your team will investigate a global business (see below) to examine how the Greenhouse Challenge
and Carbon Footprint are impacting on that business. Further you will explore the problems and
solutions an organisation may use to respond to the Greenhouse Challenge. Your team will be
assigned a business to investigate. The global company is facing responses in three areas;
The main problems the Greenhouse Challenge presents for Organisations
Response A: Corporate Governance – Main Problem
o How is our organisation going to manage/fund our response to the Carbon Challenge? Response
B: Operations – Main Problem
o How is our organisation going to lower our scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions? Response C: CSR and
