Climate Change Action Plan
The action plan for 2010 includes quarterly reporting for scope 1 and 2, and a focused effort to implement initiatives to reduce the direct and indirect emissions in scope 3, which accounted for 84% of total emissions, or 2,783 tonnes CO2 in 2009.
The largest contributions were made by the activities of communication, meetings, travel and canteen, IT service and equipment, services, product purchases, commuting and building maintenance. Among these contributors, we will select and analyse CO2 emitting activities and analyse and implement initiatives to reduce the climate impacts.
We will use the results from the 2009 climate accounts to revitalise the CSR and Climate Change committee's work groups. We can maintain dynamism in the work by adjusting the working groups to the issues we choose to focus on. More specifically, we will encourage dialogue and cooperation with suppliers and partners regarding analysis of CO2 emissions from their products and services. We will also set up a database for emission factors. We will make our initiatives and results visible internally within the company as well as externally. We will continue to use experiences from our own climate efforts to develop concepts and products to inspire customers and other companies to participate in the move towards a low carbon economy.
Reduction Target
NEAS's total reduction target for the next five years is a reduction in CO2 emissions of 15% per employee. The volume of CO2 emitted by NEAS will be offset via climate credits. The CSR and Climate Change Comittee is responsible for clarifying, developing and implementing NEAS's Climate Change Action Plan.
