A low carbon strategy for a sustainable value chain

14/10/21

Operations is an essential part of a value chain. Its emissions lead to increasing costs under ETS and energy taxation impacts, for example during the manufacturing process. In order to achieve a sustainable value chain, a thorough understanding of the embedded emissions and potential decarbonisation options is essential.

The introduction of carbon taxes and other green taxes and incentives will have a major impact on your value chain. This makes the Fit for 55 Package, presented by the European Commission on 14 July 2021, very relevant. The package introduces three main carbon pricing instruments: the EU emission trading system (EU ETS), the carbon border adjustment mechanism (CBAM) and the energy taxation directive (ETD). This should enable Europe to reduce domestic net greenhouse gas emissions by at least 55 percent by 2030 and become the world's first climate-neutral continent by 2050.

This third ESG animation outlines the potential impact and sketches some possible solutions for an overall business strategy fit for your value chain in a low carbon economy. So do watch our follow-up ESG animation on value chain and feel free to contact us to discuss your approach.
