Preparation of a Business Carbon Neutral Guide

Given the growing threats of climate change, the Quebec Business Council on the Environment (CPEQ) wanted to help member enterprises to properly orient their carbon neutral activities. CPEQ member enterprises operate in various commercial and industrial subsectors.   Therefore, the client decided to develop a credible and accessible guide to inform and assist the steering committees of members in the decision-making process.

Econoler was mandated by CPEQ management to produce a business carbon neutral guide. The assignment arose pursuant to a very appreciated training webinar delivered by Econoler in 2021. The guide is intended to support Quebec enterprises seeking to identify strategies to implement decarbonization initiatives. The guide will be offered in electronic format and will include the following sections:

• Introduction
• Introduction to Greenhouse Has (GHG) Emissions and Carbon Neutrality
• Carbon Neutral Strategy Implementation Overview
• Developing a GHG Emission Inventory
• Establishing Targets and Objectives
• Elaborating a Carbon Neutral Strategy
• Identifying Opportunities
• Implementation Plan
• Governance
• Conclusion

  Moreover, Econoler will prepare 9 annexes covering the particularities of the commercial and industrial sectors, as follows:

• Food manufacturing
• Steel industry
• Aluminum production and transformation
• Papermaking
• Cement and concrete product fabrication
• Chemicals
• Retail trade
• Transport support activities
• Real estate services

  With carbon neutrality becoming a more concrete issue, Econoler is proud to provide its expertise in the preparation of this guide since it is perfectly aligned with the mission of the firm.
