🌟 A Proud Moment 🌟  📢 We're thrilled to announce that our Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) has been cited in a leading industry publication! But first, what is LCA?    🌍 In today’s world, companies are experiencing pressures to collect and report data on their product’s environmental impact. A Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) serves as one of the most credible tools for evaluating the impact of a product. An LCA examines every stage of a product’s life, from raw materials and manufacturing to use and disposal. The #LCA plays a crucial role in preventing #greenwashing. The LCA improves #transparency and can used for:    - Regulatory compliance,  - Supply chain management and   - Product marketing 🌿A US-based manufacturer asked YellowYellow to measure the overall emissions of its product. We conducted an LCA to evaluate the water, electricity and waste involved.  When we compared their product to traditional ones, we determined it was a greener alternative, with 50% fewer emissions! A big thanks to AMI for featuring the results in their latest publication. 💡 To build on the LCA findings and position the manufacturer as a market leader, we went beyond the initial scope of the project. We proudly partnered with the client to deliver two innovative pieces. First, we created an app to make it easy for all stakeholders to understand the emissions savings of the new product vs the traditional product. Next, we created a stunning brochure for distribution at trade shows.      Curious to learn more?   👇 Check out the links to Compounding World as well as the client’s success story on our YellowYellow blog.  🔗 https://lnkd.in/gy42gh2Z Special thanks to Simon P. Coyle and Terra Lariviere for their support. Image credit: AMI Compounding World Magazine - June 2024 issue So what?  Embracing a LCA is no longer a choice, it’s a necessity. Investors and customers are willing to pay more for environmentally responsible products. Let us help you to demonstrate your commitment and differentiate your product from your peers. #Transparency #Innovation #YellowYellow #LCA #Leadership 

✈️ Business travel keeps you connected to clients and colleagues, but how is it affecting your company's carbon footprint? Did you know that #airtravel has the highest emissions intensity of any travel mode?      🌍Global aviation generated 600 million tonnes of CO2 emissions in 2022 with business travel accounting for up to 20%.*    ✨We're excited to help you understand the impact of your travel on greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions with our new Business Travel Emissions Calculator. Designed for business leaders, this tool helps you to estimate the emissions associated with a handful of North American travel routes. Cabins with fewer seats take up more space, meaning the CO2 per passenger per kilometer is much higher than economy/premium economy cabins with more seats and more passengers.    Give it a try and see how you can make a difference!      1. Select your travel route       2. Pick your mode: business class flight, economy flight, car, or virtual meeting (no travel)      3. Calculate your emissions: Instantly see your trip’s emissions and eco-friendly alternatives.       As an option, you can provide your name and email address so that we can keep you updated as the tool evolves.   👉Link to the tool: https://lnkd.in/gvchvdp9   Ready to better understand your business travel emissions? Need a customized emissions calculator for an upcoming meeting or conference?      🎉We can tailor the GHG calculator to suit your business needs, beyond travel emissions. For instance, we can customize it to quantify your product’s emissions, employee commute and so much more!    Every little bit helps when it comes to reducing operational emissions.

Time is flying by, with 6 months left in 2024. Here’s a quick rundown of what you need to know on the sustainability front in Canada. 🇨🇦 Don’t leave the polar bears out in the "heat". 1) Clean Fuel Regulations (CFR):  Earn revenue from carbon credits. Did you know that operating electric vehicles (EVs) and charging stations can generate valuable carbon credits? In Ontario, the credits are valued at approx. C$175. Coupling these carbon credits with funding for EV charging infrastructure from Natural Resources Canada (NRCan)'s #ZeroEmissionVehicleInfrastructureProgram (ZEVIP) and Ontario’s #EVChargeON program makes this an opportune time to decarbonize your fleet and operations. The CAPEX will have a shorter payback period and generate additional revenue.    2) ESG Compliance:  Are you ready for upcoming sustainability regulations?  The Canadian Sustainability Standards Board (CSSB) is the process of incorporating feedback and finalizing the Canadian Sustainability Disclosure Standards(#CSDS). South of the border in the US, from 2025 onwards, the SEC will require public companies to disclose GHG emissions (scope 1 and 2) alongside their financial disclosures. If you are already calculating your emissions, you’re on the right track! Your next step is to explore how you can automate the reporting of your greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions data to improve quality, reduce the risk of errors and comply with regulations.    3) Bill C-59: Comply with the new anti-greenwashing regulation. Amendments to #BillC59, the Competition Act, introduce stringent requirements for companies to substantiate their environmental claims. More specifically, this legislation places the burden of proof on those making sustainability claims, ensuring that all assertions are grounded in proper testing and documentation. As emitters face growing pressure to lower their carbon footprint, it’s essential that you support all claims with reliable data.  Need support? Reach out to YellowYellow Sustainability Advisory.  We would happy to help you to stay compliant and ahead of the competition. Let’s get started: hello@yellowyellow.ca The polar bears will thank you!🐻❄️  #greenfleet #EV #Sustainability #ClimateAction #Compliance #CarbonCredits #YellowYellow #polarbearprotection

What is the latest in the clean technology and investment space? Lisa Annabel Ellis and I from YellowYellow Sustainability Advisory had an incredible day uncovering just that at the #CanadianClimateInvestorConference, organized by TMX Group, Toronto Stock Exchange, and TSX Venture Exchange at MaRS Discovery District. A huge shoutout to the #MARS team and all the organizers for making this event a resounding success!  ICYMI, here are three (3) key takeaways: 1. ESG reporting and assurance are now table stakes. Ajit Singh pointed that there has been a drop in shareholder resolutions around ESG over the past few years. This signals both ESG fatigue and progress in #ESGcompliance among public companies.     2. COVID catalyzed the boom in #cleantech investing by retail investors.  However, the excitement has simmered down. Tim Nash shared that returns from water and recycling have been strong while renewable energy has been weak.   3. The #voluntarycarbonmarket is on the brink of exponential growth and the opportunities with the rollout of a standardized regulatory framework are immense! Fiona Oliver-Glasford explained that AI models may be used to price the credits based on supply, demand and location. Low-value carbon credits have been reduced by 50%, a welcome positive change. Some standout companies: CVW CleanTech Inc.: Tackling first-of-its-kind challenges in the oil sands, they recover valuable commodities from waste, reducing emissions and generating value. Kudos to CEO Akshay Dubey for the insightful presentation!    ECO Earth Sciences Inc.: CEO Patrick Kehoe’s vision for a Zero-Emission Trade Corridor with the US is impressive, tackling long-haul transportation decarbonization.    HydraGEN™ by dynaCERT Inc.: Decarbonizing hard-to-abate sectors like mining and shipping with hydrogen fuel technology. Jim Payne's drive to make an impact is truly inspiring.    CHAR Technologies Ltd.: Converting wood waste into renewable natural gas and bio-coal for industries like steel manufacturing.     Need any guidance on how to use technology to support your organization’s decarbonization efforts?
