When it comes to protecting the planet, in 2008 we were one of the first companies to establish a net-zero goal across our operations and in the years since have been actively tracking and reducing our greenhouse gas emissions, water consumption, and waste across operations while investing in renewable energy.
DESCRIPTION: As the world continued to experience the direct and indirect impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, including global supplychain disruptions, resource shortages, employment challenges and inflation – these have not been easy times. Scope 3 includes all other indirect emissions that occur in a company’s value chain.
Human activity generates 105bn tonnes of organic wastes (food waste, sewage and garden wastes, food and drink processing wastes, and farm and agricultural wastes) annually by human activity.

DESCRIPTION: Last year marked a global shift in corporations adopting low-carbon and net-zero pledges as experts at the United Nations Climate Change Conference , COP26, declared that the climate crisis is at a critical inflection point. Waste generated in operations. SOURCE: Antea Group. Purchased goods and services. Capital goods.
Offsetting also helps our customers reduce their carbon footprints for water services, gets our carbon reduction strategy and targets in place, and starts reducing our own operational emissions which in turn influences our supplychain. Since COP26, prices have skyrocketed, so buying as much as possible in advance is advised.
They also will need new business models that support CO 2 reductions, such as the Cooperative Approaches defined at the 2021 United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP26) in Article 6, paragraph 2 of the Paris Agreement.
