Orange Business Launches Carbon Calculator for Scope 3 Emissions Management
Orange Business has launched a carbon calculator toolkit to assist customers in understanding and managing their upstream Scope 3 emissions. The toolkit, part of Orange Business's sustainability efforts, uses a monetary methodology to estimate emissions, proving valuable as the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) deadline approaches.
The calculator toolkit displays emissions factors in weight of CO2 emissions per euro of spend (tCO2e/€), categorizing services like cloud, digital services, and telephony. It offers approximations to determine the magnitude of emissions associated with each offer, useful for RFPs and contract renewals.
By 2027, Gartner predicts that 25% of CIOs will have compensation linked to their sustainable technology impact. The toolkit enables enterprises to establish a baseline carbon footprint, especially for Scope 3 emissions where direct data collection is challenging. Understanding the digital carbon footprint of services helps drive efficiencies and create greener technology.
For CSRD reporting, the calculator offers valuable results for upstream Scope 3 reporting, enabling customers to focus on products and services purchased from Orange Business. The deadline for large public-interest companies to start publishing detailed sustainability reports, including greenhouse gas emissions, is the 2025 reporting year, covering the financial year 2024.
Orange Business is committed to helping customers on their sustainability journeys by offering technology and solutions that promote energy efficiency and decarbonization. The carbon calculator toolkit, with its monetary methodology and emissions factor categorization, is a significant step in this commitment, aiding customers in meeting CSRD reporting requirements and understanding their digital carbon footprint.
