The Challenge

Les Grappes, a platform for short food supply chain (SFSC) of wines, was seeking an easy and effective way to assess their greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions as part of their commitment to climate change. The company, which connects over 1,200 winegrowers directly to customers, wanted to measure their carbon footprint to better structure their environmental policy and devise a long-term action plan to reduce emissions. The challenge was to find a solution that was not only accurate and comprehensive, but also user-friendly and intuitive. The company also wanted a solution that could account for both direct and energy-related emissions (Scope 1 & 2), as well as indirect emissions caused by service providers and services used by the company (Scope 3).

About The Customer

Les Grappes is a platform for short food supply chain (SFSC) of wines, connecting buyers directly to winegrowers with fewer intermediaries. On lesgrappes.com, more than 1,200 winegrowers sell their product online, direct to the customer. The suppliers of Les Grappes cultivate their product with passion and dedication. As the product is delivered without intermediaries, the producers are paid fairly, and the purchaser pays the right price. Founded in 2014, Les Grappes is now the first platform for direct purchases from winegrowers for individuals and professionals in France and Europe.

The Solution

Les Grappes chose to work with Greenly, a provider of carbon footprint solutions, due to their responsiveness, dynamism, and the simplicity and intuitiveness of their measurement solution. Greenly's solution, which has been awarded the French Tech Green 2020 label, allowed Les Grappes to calculate their carbon footprint, which amounted to 1201t CO2e in 2020. The solution took into account not only direct and energy-related emissions, but also indirect emissions caused by service providers and services used by the company. With the data provided by Greenly, Les Grappes is now in the process of defining an action plan to reduce emissions. The company plans to involve managers for each major emission item and work with the relevant departments to identify possible and impactful reduction actions, while respecting the 2022 development and growth objectives that have been defined.

Operational Impact

  • The collaboration with Greenly has allowed Les Grappes to better understand their carbon footprint and structure their environmental policy more effectively. The data provided by Greenly has been instrumental in helping the company to identify the major sources of their emissions and to start devising an action plan to reduce them. The company is now in the process of involving managers for each major emission item and working with the relevant departments to identify possible and impactful reduction actions. This process is being carried out while respecting the 2022 development and growth objectives that have been defined, ensuring that the company's commitment to the climate does not compromise its business objectives.

Quantitative Benefit

  • Calculated carbon footprint of 1201t CO2e in 2020

  • Identified major emission sources: Freight (49.5%), Food and drink (45.4%), Digital (1.5%)

  • Calculated per employee emission: 34 tCO2 / employee

HEINEKEN Uses the Cloud to Reach 10.5 Million Consumers
For 2012 campaign, the Bond promotion, it planned to launch the campaign at the same time everywhere on the planet. That created unprecedented challenges for HEINEKEN—nowhere more so than in its technology operation. The primary digital content for the campaign was a 100-megabyte movie that had to play flawlessly for millions of viewers worldwide. After all, Bond never fails. No one was going to tolerate a technology failure that might bruise his brand.Previously, HEINEKEN had supported digital media at its outsourced datacenter. But that datacenter lacked the computing resources HEINEKEN needed, and building them—especially to support peak traffic that would total millions of simultaneous hits—would have been both time-consuming and expensive. Nor would it have provided the geographic reach that HEINEKEN needed to minimize latency worldwide.

Coca Cola Swaziland Conco Case Study
Coco Cola Swaziland, South Africa would like to find a solution that would enable the following results: - Reduce energy consumption by 20% in one year. - Formulate a series of strategic initiatives that would enlist the commitment of corporate management and create employee awareness while helping meet departmental targets and investing in tools that assist with energy management. - Formulate a series of tactical initiatives that would optimize energy usage on the shop floor. These would include charging forklifts and running cold rooms only during off-peak periods, running the dust extractors only during working hours and basing lights and air-conditioning on someone’s presence. - Increase visibility into the factory and other processes. - Enable limited, non-intrusive control functions for certain processes.

Temperature Monitoring for Restaurant Food Storage
When it came to implementing a solution, Mr. Nesbitt had an idea of what functionality that he wanted. Although not mandated by Health Canada, Mr. Nesbitt wanted to ensure quality control issues met the highest possible standards as part of his commitment to top-of-class food services. This wish list included an easy-to use temperature-monitoring system that could provide a visible display of the temperatures of all of his refrigerators and freezers, including historical information so that he could review the performance of his equipment. It also had to provide alert notification (but email alerts and SMS text message alerts) to alert key staff in the event that a cooling system was exceeding pre-set warning limits.
