AFRC-CRAD-05929 - ACS Clothing Achieving Net Zero-Route to Impact
Karkasinas, Aineias (Principal Investigator)
The project involved gathering data on business processes, materials, and activities to quantify environmental impacts. We allocated emissions across Scopes 1, 2, and 3 following the GHG Protocol. Two reduction strategies were devised: one for 2022 (a transitional phase) and a more aggressive approach for 2023 aimed at achieving a 90% reduction in emissions from the 2019 baseline.
The project successfully illustrated the potential to cut ACS Clothing's emissions by 90%, meeting the 2023 Net Zero target. This outcome not only decreased environmental impacts but also increased company value, making ACS more attractive to ethical investors.
