Our customers, partners, suppliers and employees form an ecosystem to which we have a responsibility to always aim to do better, including with our products. These have a role to play in this ecosystem by not only improving our customers' productivity, but also by supporting them on their path to a paperless and more environmentally responsible way of doing business.
Tackling climate change is an everyday battle that might seem overwhelming. However, this ambitious goal becomes the most likely scenario once businesses work together in the same direction.
Once Mobilexpense Brussels measured their greenhouse emissions and understood their actual impact as a whole, designing an action plan was just as straightforward. The next step was to set ambitious targets to reduce their footprint and connect with the right partners to make it possible. Now Mobilexpense Brussels is taking part in cutting the world's emissions to zero.
Every positive action counts, no matter how little. However, climate change needs to be confronted collectively, as many other global challenges humanity has faced in the past. Embracing this approach, the opportunity to involve team members within their company to analyse its impact is priceless. The decision-makers will take climate action by being part of the impact team.
Human activities since the industrial revolution have led to the appearance of new sources of GHGs. Tapio’s all-in-one carbon management solution allows you to estimate the amount of industrial emissions (aka. anthropogenic greenhouse gases) emitted by the activities of your company or organisation.

The first step to compute a carbon report is to target and characterize the possible sources of GHGs emission from the organization. To do so, must be fixed beforehand by the reporting company.
Then, the breakdown of total carbon emissions by scope helps Mobilexpense Brussels highlight the different hotspots that drive its carbon emissions. To address a problem, you need to be able to understand and measure it.
Mobilexpense has decided to engage in the fight against climate change by evaluating its greenhouse gas emissions related to the activities of its Brussels offices. Mobilexpense provides expense management software. The carbon report takes into account all the emissions on which these activities depend. From data storage related to the software, through office electricity, to the emissions related to the production of the company's computers. This explains the high final amount. By taking into account such a large scope, Mobilexpense increases its reduction levers to more effectively reducing its impact on climate change.

Evolution rate
The evolution is calculated on the previous year, based on total emissions.
Following the GHG Protocol, carbon emissions are divided into 3 main scopes, depending on their sources.
Scope 1 takes into account direct emissions from sources owned or controlled by the organization, while in scope 2, we found only indirect emissions associated with the production of electricity, heat or steam. Scope 3, on the other hand, represents indirect emissions produced by the company’s activities that are not accounted for in Scope 2 but are related to their whole value chain, like in the case of business travel, or commuting.
Scope 1 : 0 %
Scope 2 : 0 %
Scope 3 : 0 %
Going a step further in terms of comparison is useful to understand what Mobilexpense Brussels’s total amount of carbon emissions represents in day-to-day, tangible situations. Knowing how many long haul flights or how many burgers Mobilexpense Brussels’s carbon emissions are equal to is another good way to understand its footprint. If you're curious about what a ton of CO₂ represents, read more about it on our blog.

Implementing sustainable solutions that will substantially reduce a company's carbon footprint is the first essential step; however, each climate journey is unique. To fulfil their climate ambitions, Mobilexpense Brussels needed to compensate for their remaining carbon budget.
