案例研究: Carbon emissions successfully scoped for mutual life company

  • 8,814吨一氧化碳2e measured in scope 3
  • One Scope 3 baseline year agreed
  • 5 Years of Scope 3 data collected

Overview of the challenge

我们的客户, one of the UK’s largest mutual life, pensions and investment companies, has been on a mission since 2019, 整理, manage and target all of its sustainability data.

As part of its aim to set and reach net zero carbon targets, which include a reduction of Scope 1, 2和3排放, the company had worked closely with Mitie on reducing Scope 1 and 2 emissions (能源 consumption). But it still needed to measure Scope 3 emissions (indirect value chain 能源 consumption), to set a baseline year, and create an ambitious net zero carbon target and reduction strategy.

Mitie was commissioned to measure and report on the company’s non-investment related Scope 3 emissions between 2016-2020.

A collaborative and transparent approach

In an initial stakeholder meeting, Mitie’s team outlined the approach we would use to measure Scope 3 emissions. We worked closely with the customer to ensure all aspects of its value chain (excluding investments) were captured in our assessment. Over the 17-week programme, our consultants provided weekly updates and ran collaboration exercises to ensure our customer would get the maximum functionality from the report output.

Providing a robust understanding of Scope 3 emissions

The resulting report sparked conversations, 范围3附近, across the procurement and 地产 teams in the company. It has provided a robust understanding of Scope 3 and ongoing confidence in potentially amending the baseline, as data quality improves.

我们的客户’s stakeholders, from the Group Chief Operations Director to its network of eco-ambassadors, have engaged with the process and the report. The company is taking positive action to reduce its Scope 3 emissions and can demonstrate its leadership in the quality and depth of its reporting.

As part of the ongoing work, Mitie has been commissioned to complete a Scope 3 2021 footprint, 并进行范围1, 2 and 3 Net Zero Pathway Report, to help the customer develop a science-based net zero target.
