What is the GHG Protocol
The Greenhouse Gas Protocol (GHG Protocol) is the leading international standard for calculating greenhouse gas emissions. It provides a comprehensive and standardized global framework for measuring and managing emissions, helping companies reduce their environmental impact.
The three emission categories
The GHG Protocol divides emissions into three categories, called Scopes, which identify different levels of corporate responsibility:
Scope 1: direct emissions, generated by company activities such as fuel combustion for boilers, generators, company vehicles, and refrigerant leaks.
Scope 2: indirect emissions related to purchased and consumed energy, such as electricity for lighting, heating, and cooling offices.
Scope 3: indirect emissions across the value chain, including those from suppliers, transportation, product use, and disposal.
Specialcavi’s commitment
Currently, Specialcavi has certified emissions for Scope 1 and Scope 2. The next goal is Scope 3 certification, planned for 2026. This is a strategic and complex step that will enable measurement and reduction of environmental impact throughout the entire value chain.
Why it matters
Commitment to sustainability and emission reduction is a fundamental step in combating climate change and ensuring a more responsible future.
