Carbon Accounting
The report synthesizes the results of our greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions assessment. While offering elements of comparison with other companies, a GHG emissions assessment is mainly used to identify ways to improve your global impact and to define a reduction trajectory.
Vienna Textile Lab’s initial GHG emissions assessment was accounted for by Greenly, using the following scopes in their methodology. The evaluation of VTL’s emissions follows the standards of the Bilan Carbone® methodology, which is standardized by the ADEME.
Scope 1 – Direct emissions:
GHG emissions are generated directly by the organization and its activities.
Examples: combustion of fossil fuels, refrigerant leaks.
Scope 2 – Indirect emissions related to energy consumption:
Emissions related to the organization’s consumption of electricity, heat or steam.
Example: electricity consumption.
Scope 3 – Other indirect emissions:
All other indirect emissions occur upstream or downstream of the organization’s value chain.
VTL’s GHG Emissions assessment overview:
The summary of the Vienna Textile Lab GHG Emissions assessment, where the sector benchmark is also referenced. The results show that the sector Benchmark has an average of 455 tCO2e/employee, while Vienna Textile Lab has an average of 17 tCO2e/employee. This is 96% less than the Benchmark average.
The amount of CO2 sequestered annually by 1,5 hectares of forest in growth.
VTL 2021 CO2 emissions are the equivalent to 9,4 Paris – New York round trips.
