GHG inventory
3emission scopes assessed
Count every scope
We assessed direct, energy and supply chain emissions with assumptions fitted to available data.
Case Study · Sustainability Assessment
Measuring the carbon footprint of flexible packaging.
A sustainable flexible packaging producer wanted to know its carbon footprint and how it compared with peers. We built a full greenhouse gas inventory across three scopes and benchmarked the results against regional and national competitors.
The Client
The client is a producer of recyclable, traditional and compostable flexible packaging for consumer brands. It wanted to find its emission hotspots and start a reduction roadmap.
The Challenge
Rising disclosure.
Know your footprint.
Prescouter was asked to calculate the client’s annual carbon footprint, compare it with other flexible packaging manufacturers and identify environmental hotspots to support a roadmap for greenhouse gas reduction.
-
Scope 1
Direct emissions
Emissions from the client’s own site.
-
Scope 2
Energy emissions
Power used in manufacturing.
-
Scope 3
Supply chain emissions
From purchased goods to commuting.
Our Approach
Building a full inventory from resin to commute.
Supply chain
6Scope 3 categories
Trace the inputs
Purchased goods alone included 34,634 tons of polyethylene resin plus films and packaging.
Benchmarking
2scopes benchmarked
Compare with peers
We compared Scope 1 and 2 emissions with competitors to show where the client stands.
The Outcome
A baseline that customers can trust.
Prescouter calculated the client’s emissions for its baseline year across Scopes 1, 2 and 3, covering six Scope 3 emissions categories. The benchmark showed where the client stands against peers and pointed to hotspots, so the client can now share its footprint with customers.
-
Baseline
3 scopes measured
A full emissions baseline year.
-
Hotspots
6 Scope 3 categories
Showing where to cut emissions.
-
Disclosure
Customer-ready data
Meeting rising disclosure demands.
Customers increasingly ask suppliers for emissions data. A clear baseline turns that request into a competitive advantage.
