Climate and objectives
The Global climate objectives are currently led by Europe, with the following targets:
And other countries are also placing these topics high on their agenda:
• China is planning to be Carbon Neutral in 2060.
• Canada aims to have a 40% reduction by 2030 compared to 2005 and reach net zero by 2050.
• USA will go for a 50%-52% reduction by 2030 compared to 2005 and reach net zero by 2050.
• Japan will have a target of 46% reduction by 2030 compared to 2013 and achieve net zero by 2050.
GHG protocol stipulates a methodology to classify the emissions, that can be translated into objective emissions on a scientific basis. The ‘general’ trend is to adopt a net zero methodology in a 2050 scenario.

Our way of working
We like a pragmatic approach and do this in a step-by-step process. We adapt in line with the resources available.
But above all, we want you as a client to be unburdened; and we want to fully understand you. That is The Power Of Being Understood.
We start by listening to you and your employees to define your needs. Together, we look for improvement processes and translate them into uniquely defined parameters. These tailor-made solutions, together with the useful dashboards, are the source of the continuous improvement plan that creates a new internal awareness.
It is our responsibility to gain a comprehensive insight into our business' impact on the planet and to help preserve it for present and future generations. To guarantee this objective and encourage everyone to contribute fully to this cause, it is crucial to include climate objectives into your corporate strategy and values, ensuring that CO2 emissions and biodiversity preservation are kept high on the agenda. We will guide you on your journey to decrease your environmental impact.
It goes without saying that customers’ expectations and climate objectives are linked. We work with you to define the objectives you want to achieve. And we'll implement them, with us at the oars and you at the stern. You keep your hand on the tiller, while you concentrate on your core business.
More than ever before, it is important to offer employees a challenging but pleasant, healthy and comfortable workplace. People of all generations are looking to work for sustainable companies, where each co-worker is respected in every possible way. As a result, you as a company will have to develop a working environment that is best suited to retain and attract the profiles best suitable for your organisation. We work with you to make this happen.
The attention that you, as a company, pay to climate control will certainly be noticed and will enable you to attract new markets and new customers. What's more, shareholders and financial institutions have already pulled out the green card and are assessing sustainable companies vs all companies regarding their sustainability performance more carefully. They will certainly appreciate your sustainable strategy and new opportunities will open up for you, we make it visible for you.
Purpose sets organisation strategy and guides decision-making to boost impact. Fully integrating it into your company's overall strategy improves the dynamic in your organisation, as well as your profitability and success. Blending business and societal goals towards a better collective future will differentiate yourself in a positive way.
Having that clarity in your vision shared by your team is something we can help on.
Today, strong sustainability policy and performance is not a nice-to-have but an absolute must-have. The different ESG-risks and opportunities will need to be taken into account in the risk management system and assessed giving insight into the potential financial risk an organisation has (future evolution of turnover, cash flow, asset value, …). For example:
Suppliers, subcontractors and clients have an important impact on your company A well-implemented sustainability policy is carried by your employees and colleagues, but the loop will only be closed if the same effort is made in your total value chain. It is important to examine the entire chain of emissions and to involve your suppliers, your subcontractors, your clients and all other stakeholders in your improvement plan.
We want to guide you towards your sustainable future. Our aim is to help you in your end-to-end approach and to unburden you as much as possible.
We go from technics over advising to implementing.
- We use existing metering to measure your carbon footprint. We collect this data in RSIMS and set up a carbon reduction baseline and strategy
- We perform an in-depth double materiality assessment
- We guide you in building your sustainability report
- We assist on every step of your journey and in accordance with your needs.
We transform all this data into a sustainability report based on an internationally recognised methodology, together with the financial report to be fully part of your company’s management report.
