Hello Friend,
I hope you had a great February, both professionally and personally! In this month’s E100 update, we’re geeking out a little on Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions, sharing some exciting firm updates, including new leadership and upcoming events.
Sustainability Update - What's the Scope?
Back in December, we announced our acquisition of Sustas, a company specializing in Greenhouse Gas (GHG) reporting and accounting. While this isn't directly related to cybersecurity, many of our enterprise clients have asked us to review their environmental programs and commitments.
Now that we've secured the appropriate expertise to meet those needs, we'd like to provide a brief overview of the three scopes of GHG emissions:
- Scope 1: Direct emissions from owned or controlled sources, such as on-site fuel combustion (e.g., data centers).
- Scope 2: Indirect emissions from the generation of purchased electricity, steam, heating, and cooling consumed by the company (e.g., hosting/cloud providers using data centers).
- Scope 3: All other indirect emissions in a company's value chain, including upstream and downstream activities. This reflects your commitment to using providers that measure and manage their emissions.
Why is this important? While the SEC no longer requires reporting on GHG emissions, California, New York, and the EU do still have related mandates in place, as do organizations like Microsoft and Coupa. As such, becoming a provider that is committed to meeting and managing their emissions may be the key market differentiator that you need, and Schellman can help.
