Stop Estimating Carbon Data, Start Analyzing
ENGIE Impact
ENGIE Impact was created to accelerate the sustainability transformation for corporations, cities and governments.
Robust environmental data is no longer a "nice-to-have"— it's a business imperative. As stakeholder pressure mounts and the need for transparency intensifies, having clear, verifiable targets and strategies, especially around carbon emissions, is critical. This data-driven approach to carbon management isn't just about reducing your footprint; it's about building organizational resilience. By grounding decisions in real numbers, not assumptions, you can proactively mitigate carbon-related financial risks and future-proof your business. This month's newsletter explores how impactful carbon management strategies directly contribute to a more resilient and sustainable future.
1. Zero Carbon Strategies to Launch Your Organization to the CDP A-List
The annual CDP scores, a key metric for environmental action, have recently been released. This global disclosure and rating system allows companies, cities, states, and regions to measure, manage, and benchmark their environmental performance. The 2024 CDP questionnaire, now integrated, saw a substantial rise in companies reporting across the three core themes of Climate Change, Water Security, and Deforestation. Additionally, disclosure on Biodiversity and Plastics is now accessible to all participating organizations. Read more >>
2. Building Performance Standards: What You Need to Know
As deadlines loom closer in markets like Denver, Colorado, and Washington, D.C., the urgency of complying with Building Performance Standards (BPS) heightens. Failure to meet these targets could mean significant financial setbacks, potentially costing your company tens of thousands of dollars per building annually. To safeguard your company’s reputation and financial future, it’s essential to familiarize yourself with regulations and take proactive steps to meet the established targets. By doing so, you can position your organization for success in an increasingly sustainability-focused marketplace. Read more >>
3. Internal Carbon Pricing: Streamlining Corporate Decarbonization and Climate Risk Management
The rules around how global businesses account for their carbon emissions are changing, and companies need to adapt. Carbon from manufacturing, transport and production of goods and services has historically been treated as an unpriced externality, but many governments and sustainability frameworks are now encouraging — or even requiring — companies to include a price on their emissions.

6moCarbon manangement can also include converting existing assets into managing carbon. For example, my project, Circular Solar, where Wind turbines can passively remove carbon emissions buildup on towers, blades, nacelle's. We can add CDR nanotechnology up in the air, above highways, ports, oil & gas activities with existing assets: buildings to wind turbines. Not all CDR projects have to have multi-million capex DAC machines, that require a lot of energy. Instead, negotiate emissions energy is possible. Circular Solar is patent-pending.
