Decarbonization
It ’ s no secret that the urgency to address manufacturing emissions is ramping up
Take the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive ( CSRD ) as an example . This regulation will require all large enterprises that carry out business in the EU , including those based outside of the EU , to disclose their carbon footprint starting in 2024 , covering Scope 3 emissions too .
This will run alongside the UK ’ s Streamlined Energy and Carbon Reporting ( SECR ), which already requires certain organizations to share energy use and carbon emissions information in their annual reports , and the Task Force on Climate-related Disclosures ( TCFD ), which is a mandatory framework for some UK companies to help wider stakeholders understand how companies are managing climate-related financial risks .
These reporting regulations mean that decarbonizing manufacturing operations isn ’ t a mere aspiration ; it ’ s an actionable imperative , making data-driven carbon accounting an even more important tool . ■
