The telecommunications (telecom) industry consists of information transmission by electronic means, such as voice, data, and internet services. The telecom industry currently accounts for approximately 2% of global carbon emissions, however through emission accounting and reduction efforts, the industry has the potential to reduce up to 15% of global carbon emissions. This reduction would equate to roughly 12.1 million gigatons of carbon, showing the significant relationship between the telecom industry and carbon emissions. Reducing emissions proves to be difficult for a multitude of reasons, but most importantly the ever growing population and need for bandwidth causes increased energy consumption which is passed on to the telecom providers. 

In a recent webinar, experts from CapGemini and Sustaira came together to discuss the critical drivers and challenges of sustainability and carbon accounting in the financial sector. The session provided valuable insights into how financial institutions can navigate these complexities and accelerate their sustainability journey.

The building sector is a major contributor to global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, accounting for approximately one third of global GHG emissions. However, this statistic doesn’t encompass all emissions relating to construction, leaving out those included in the manufacturing and transportation of building materials known as embodied emission. In this article we give you all the information you need to approach construction carbon accounting related to embodied emissions.

The financial sector has invested $4.6 trillion into the fossil fuel industry since the Paris Agreement. However, this figure does not account for the full scope of emissions related to financial activities, particularly those from financed emissions, known as Scope 3 emissions. When these are included, the financial industry's impact on global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions is significantly higher, highlighting the critical need for comprehensive carbon accounting and reduction strategies.
