Poppy's Carbon Strategy
Showing transparency is the right way to make a difference. Discover how Poppy is taking care of their carbon footprint and leading the way towards decarbonisation
Focus report:
A purpose-driven solution
Reducing carbon emissions on a daily basis has always been a key objective for Poppy. That's why Poppy cars are electric, hybrid, on CNG or with a low emission petrol engine (all of our kickscooters are electric). In order to further reduce our carbon emissions, we have decided to go one step further and contribute to global carbon neutrality. This major achievement is on its way with Tapio.
« As climate action has always been a priority for me, it was a great pleasure to help make Poppy cleaner and more sustainable. »
Simon Deveen, Carbon Footprint Management at Poppy.
With an action plan that makes a difference
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 Poppy 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 Poppy is taking part in cutting the world's emissions to zero.
Supported by a fantastic impact team
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.

Carbon Footprint Management
About Tapio’s Methodology. How does carbon reporting work?
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.

Understanding the carbon footprint as a whole
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 Poppy highlight the different hotspots that drive its carbon emissions. To address a problem, you need to be able to understand and measure it.
Poppy Carbon Report - 2020
Poppy has decided to get involved in the fight against climate change by assessing its greenhouse gas emissions. Poppy provides a car-sharing service. The carbon report takes into account all the emissions on which these activities depend. From the fuel for the cars, electricity for the offices and, emissions related to the cars' repair and end of life. This explains the high final amount. By taking into account such a large scope, Poppy increases its reduction levers to more effectively reduce its impact on climate change.

Distribution of carbon emissions per scope
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 %
Here are the different scopes
Top sources emanating from business activities?
Be able to analyse the top 5 most significant sources of emissions, sorted by category/driver, enabled Tapio to understand exactly what drives its carbon emissions and where is necessary to act.

Some metrics to make things simpler
Having an absolute number is complex and most of the time, meaningless. One good way to know where you stand and the way you are headed is to understand your carbon footprint in terms of intensity per employee allowing to track improvements over time even if the company grows.
For Poppy, the intensity related to several metrics can be found below.

.. and to see what Tapio’s numbers actually represent
Going a step further in terms of comparison is useful to understand what Poppy’s total amount of carbon emissions represents in day-to-day, tangible situations. Knowing how many long haul flights or how many burgers Poppy’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.
