Innovatie Attaché Netwerk Brazilië / Netherlands Innovation Attaché Network Brazil ’s Post

The Brazilian industry must also decarbonize. Not only to be CO2 neutral by 2050, but also to be efficient and competitive and to be able to export to, for example, the European Union. Here scope 3 is especially complicated: those are the emissions produced not by the company itself, but by companies in its supply-chain. This supply-chain is harder to control and often consists of smaller enterprises.   The Innovatie Attaché Netwerk / IA (Netherlands Innovation Network) attended the launch of a program called "Jornada de Descarbonização", journey to decarbonization. This programs aims specifically at small and medium-sized enterprises. Individually, these are not major producers of CO2, but together they are responsible for many scope 3 emissions. Companies affiliated with Fiesp - Federação das Indústrias do Estado de São Paulo, São Paulo's industry umbrella organization, are offered a package to reduce their emissions. After an inventory of how many gases are emitted, a plan is made to reduce these emissions. To do so, Senai São Paulo and Sebrae-SP offer advice, online training and an online platform. Then, through Desenvolve SP, the company can apply for a credit to implement this plan. In this way, the industry itself ensures that emissions are reduced and that it remains efficient and competitive. Jens K. Daniël Burgers Robert Thijssen Tijmen Steensma
