Why should your organization embrace ESG policies?

The impending announcement of Climate Related Disclosure requirements by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in October 2023, alongside the European Union's Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), underscores the growing global emphasis on transparent sustainability reporting. The CSRD, already encompassing over 60,000 global companies, mandates the provision of consistent and comparable data, crucial for investors to make well-informed decisions based on a company's sustainability practices.

In tandem with global regulatory shifts, consumer behaviour is evolving; more individuals are aligning their purchases with their values, favouring companies with robust sustainability commitments. A partnership with MobiCycle can significantly bolster your sustainability narrative, resonating with the expanding eco-conscious consumer base. This alignment not only augments your brand's allure but cultivates a loyal customer community rooted in shared values.

The correlation between a motivated workforce and organisational success is compelling. Engaging with MobiCycle not only resonates with your team's eco-conscious ethos but also yields tangible operational efficiencies. Our platform eases the transition to sustainable practices that mitigate waste, energy consumption, and operational costs, all while fostering a culture unified by a shared dedication to societal well-being. This alignment enhances workplace morale and solidifies your organisation's standing as a vanguard in the sustainability sphere.

Why report Scope 3 emissions?

Greenhouse gas emissions are produced by a diverse range of activities, which are grouped into three distinct "Scopes." Scope 3 encompasses a variety of categories, including the procurement of goods and services, capital goods, fuel and energy-related activities, transportation and distribution, operational waste generation, business travel, employee commuting, leased assets, processing of sold products, the use of sold products, end-of-life treatment of sold products, franchises, and investments. The majority of emissions are typically found within Scope 3.

Despite the significance of Scope 3 emissions, most organizations fail to report them entirely. Among those that do report, the focus tends to be limited to one or two categories, such as business travel. One reason for this lack of reporting stems from challenges related to data availability and the transformation of that data into meaningful reports.

*While most organizations report only carbon emissions, it is crucial to acknowledge the broader spectrum. Greenhouse gases encompass various elements such as water vapor (H2O), carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O), ozone (O3), chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs and HCFCs), hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), perfluorocarbons (CF4, C2F6, etc.), sulfur hexafluoride (SF6), and nitrogen trifluoride (NF3).

Why Opt for a

Platform Approach?

By leveraging our platform, you can elevate the precision and comprehensiveness of your supply chain emissions data. This approach facilitates valuable insights into your ecological footprint, empowering you to make informed decisions, adopt sustainable methods, and demonstrate your dedication to environmental stewardship to your stakeholders.

Reason 1: Collaborative Efforts for Comprehensive Data

Our platform fosters collaboration between consultants, operations teams, electronics vendors, and waste management firms. The aim is to pinpoint and quantify GHG emissions from your supply chain. The initial data undergoes transformation into a preliminary emissions inventory, which is then enhanced using our diverse technological solutions. Our machine learning experts apply advanced algorithms to refine this data, ensuring accuracy and relevancy.

Reason 2: Addressing Critical GHG Protocol Categories

We bring to life the GHG Protocol's categories 5 and 12, which respectively cover "Waste generated in operations" and "End-of-life treatment of sold products." Financial statements often overlook discarded assets, creating an emissions reporting gap. Our MobiBins solution bridges this gap, acting as holding points for discarded electronics, thus reconnecting them with the financial records.

Reason 3: Comprehensive eWaste Tracking

Our 'Where are WEEE?' sensor solution tracks the path of eWaste from its initial deposit in MobiBins until its final destination, whether for recycling, reuse, incineration, or landfill. This transparency ensures a holistic understanding of the product's end lifecycle, aiding in precise assessment and reporting of relevant Scope 3 emissions.

Reason 4: Engaging and Informative Interfaces

We encourage your active participation. Engage with our Metahumans, which offer real-time feedback on various supply chain aspects. Additionally, our interactive games provide insightful experiences, highlighting the implications of your business decisions on the environment. These tools are designed to bolster confidence in moving towards eco-friendly suppliers or strategizing with current ones to minimize their emissions. Potential strategies might include sustainable mining, cleaner manufacturing, and efficient waste management.

Why use a consulting dashboard?

Companies often have a large number of suppliers, sometimes in the thousands or even tens of thousands. Each of these suppliers likely have their own suppliers, resulting in an intricate network that is difficult to manage. Gathering and authenticating this data demands significant time and resources, both for the primary company and their suppliers. Particularly smaller suppliers might lack the resources to accurately measure and report their emissions.

Also, not all companies monitor or report their emissions data using the same methods, if they track it at all. While some may adopt established protocols like the Greenhouse Gas Protocol, others might utilize different methodologies or metrics, creating challenges in aggregating and comparing data. Some suppliers may be hesitant to share data they deem commercially sensitive, and there may be legal restrictions on sharing certain types of data.

Adding to the complexity, the suppliers in your network might not possess the necessary expertise to accurately measure their emissions, especially when it comes to Scope 3 emissions. For multinational companies, variances in regulations, business practices, and languages can add additional layers of complexity to data collection.

In contrast, a consulting dashboard provides a consolidated and simplified view of this complex data. Users can access all the information they need in one place, thereby improving decision-making processes. Our dashboard presents a clear view of key performance indicators (KPIs) and other metrics, aiding users in identifying areas of concern, tracking progress towards goals, and making informed decisions.

Moreover, dashboards offer a visually appealing representation of intricate data, making it easier to digest. Utilizing charts, graphs, and other visual aids, dashboards allow users to identify trends, compare different data sets, and track progress over time. They can be tailored to display the most relevant data for different users or roles within an organization, enabling users to focus on the information most pertinent to their responsibilities.

Benefits

Address the Renewables Conundrum. Humans currently consume natural resources at an unsustainable rate, surpassing the capacity of our planet. Meeting our demands would require 2 or 3 planets. While renewables are a vital part of the energy mix, they alone cannot fulfill the growing energy demand. It is important to recognize that the manufacturing of renewables often relies on fossil fuels and can contribute to environmental ecosystem damage.

Build Confidence in Reporting. The consulting dashboard provides the knowledge and understanding necessary to confidently answer essential questions: How can we effectively mitigate the risks associated with discarded electronic equipment? How do we track the flow of eWaste in our supply chain? How can we actively support sustainable eWaste recycling?

Manage Risk. Critical minerals play a crucial role in electronic devices, but the global supply chain for rare earth metals is unstable. Materiality-focused ESG approaches may create blind spots, leading to underreporting by focusing on only a few categories at a time. The recommended practice is to assess all categories within Scope 3 emissions, even if not all categories are publicly disclosed.

Safeguard Biodiversity. ESG efforts extend beyond reducing greenhouse gas emissions. The decline of wild mammals, representing less than 2% of terrestrial mammal biomass, highlights the urgent need for biodiversity conservation. Pollution contributes to the population freefall of birds and invertebrates. Our dashboard enables monitoring of your organization's impact on the natural world, promoting biodiversity protection.
