Why did you decide to carry out a GHG assessment? 🤔

At ZEUS Packaging Ltd., we believe that understanding our environmental impact is crucial to driving meaningful change. By conducting a Greenhouse Gas (GHG) assessment, we aimed to gain a comprehensive understanding of our carbon footprint, identify areas for improvement, and implement effective strategies to reduce our emissions. This assessment not only aligns with our corporate social responsibility goals but also meets the increasing demands from our investors and clients for transparent and accountable environmental practices.

Before partnering with Greenly, we had a general sense of our emissions but lacked the detailed, data-driven insights necessary to make targeted improvements. Also, we had already initiated several CSR initiatives, such as reducing energy consumption in our operations and promoting recycling programs. The GHG assessment with Greenly helped us quantify these efforts and identify additional opportunities for reduction.

Why did you choose Greenly? 💚

We chose Greenly for their expertise and innovative approach to managing carbon data, particularly in highly regulated markets. Their tools and support system are designed to simplify the complex process of carbon accounting, making it easier for us to integrate sustainable practices into our business model.

Greenly's user-friendly SaaS platform and comprehensive carbon calculators provided us with accurate and actionable data. Their approach is both pragmatic and thorough, ensuring we have a clear path to achieving our sustainability goals.

The tools were intuitive and easy to use, allowing us to seamlessly track and analyse our carbon footprint. The detailed reports and insights provided a solid foundation for our sustainability initiatives.

Results and Insights 📊

Our carbon assessment with Greenly revealed that we emit almost 200k tCO2e annually. To address this, we are exploring the implementation of several action items, initially placing focus on our Scope 1 & 2 emissions but also including adopting a responsible purchasing policy that prioritises suppliers with strong environmental credentials. We plan to invest in energy-efficient technologies, exploring alternative fuels for our fleet and enhancing our recycling programs to further reduce our emissions. These steps are part of our broader strategy to achieve a significant reduction in our carbon footprint over the next five years.

The assessment taught us the importance of accurate data collection and the need for continuous monitoring to make meaningful progress. It also highlighted areas where we can make impactful changes, particularly in our supply chain and operational efficiency.

We are implementing a responsible purchasing policy, upgraded our facilities with energy-efficient lighting and equipment, and enhanced our recycling programs. Additionally, we have started engaging our employees in sustainability initiatives to foster a culture of environmental responsibility.

By reducing our carbon footprint, we not only contribute to global sustainability efforts but also enhance our brand reputation and meet the growing demand for eco-friendly products from our customers. This positions us as a responsible and forward-thinking leader in the packaging industry, ultimately benefiting our business and stakeholders.
