Marie-Antoinette Agency, since its inception in 2010, has always prioritized environmental concerns. The company has been actively working towards creating awareness among its employees about the surrounding ecosystem. In 2017, the agency accelerated its efforts and implemented a clear Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) strategy, involving its employees on a daily basis. However, the agency faced a challenge in measuring its Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions, which was crucial to control and reduce their environmental footprint. The agency needed a simple and intuitive solution to measure their GHG emissions, structure the areas where they needed to pay attention, and draw an action plan to reduce their emissions in the long term.
Marie-Antoinette Agency is a company that has been conscious of environmental issues since its creation in 2010. The agency has always ensured that its employees are aware of the ecosystem that surrounds them. In 2017, the agency accelerated its efforts and implemented a clear CSR strategy, involving its employees on a daily basis. The agency is proud of its CSR approach and communicates it to all its stakeholders. The agency also contributes to the Sustainable Development Goals as defined by the United Nations. The agency's first objective was to find a simple solution to measure their GHG emissions, in order to control and reduce their environmental footprint.
Marie-Antoinette Agency partnered with Greenly to measure their carbon footprint. Greenly's solution was simple and intuitive, and the company's recognition in the market, along with the French Tech Green 2020 label, impressed the agency. Greenly's carbon footprint measurement took into account not only direct and energy-related emissions (Scope 1 & 2) but also indirect emissions caused by service providers and services used by the company (Scope 3). With this comprehensive analysis, Marie-Antoinette Agency was able to identify their total emissions, which amounted to 381t CO2e in 2019. Based on this data, the agency defined an action plan to reduce its emissions. The plan involved managers taking accountability for each major emissions item and working with the concerned departments to define the most impactful and attainable reduction actions.
