Arca Conseil, a specialist in data retrieval, was seeking a simple and efficient solution to measure their greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. The company's objective was to control and reduce their environmental footprint, a crucial step towards achieving a Net Zero trajectory. However, the challenge was not just about measuring direct and energy-related emissions (Scope 1 & 2), but also indirect emissions caused by service providers and services used by the company (Scope 3). The company needed a comprehensive solution that could accurately calculate their total carbon footprint, which would then allow them to structure their environmental policy and devise an action plan for long-term emission reduction.

Arca Conseil turned to Greenly for a solution. Greenly's measurement solution is simple, efficient, and well-recognized in the market, having obtained the French Tech Green 2020 label. The solution allowed Arca Conseil to calculate their carbon footprint, taking into account both direct and indirect emissions. With this comprehensive assessment, Arca Conseil was able to better structure their environmental policy and devise an action plan for long-term emission reduction. The action plan involved managers for each major emission item, working together with the relevant departments to strategize the most impactful reduction actions within reach, all while respecting the company's 2022 development and growth objectives.
