Montreal, Feb. 09, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Sodexo Canada today announced its achievement of the RE100 scope 2 target a full four years earlier than planned. With scope 2 emissions now at zero, this work helps contribute to Sodexo’s larger 34% carbon reduction target by 2025 across Scope 1, 2 & 3 emissions.
Scope 1 emissions are the greenhouse gases produced directly from sources that are owned or controlled, for example, from the combustion of fuels in vehicles or in heating buildings. That goal was achieved by Sodexo Canada on [DATE]. Scope 2 GHG emissions are those generated indirectly from the consumption of purchased energy (electricity, heating and cooling), and were brought to zero in Canada at the end of 2021. Scope 3 GHG emissions are indirect emissions resulting from an organization’s operations.
“At Sodexo Canada, we started the journey of reducing our carbon footprint many years ago,” mentioned Normand St-Gelais, Director Corporate Social Responsibility at Sodexo Canada. “Our partnership with Bullfrog Power since 2017 helped us to achieve our target 4 years earlier than targeted. This achievement demonstrates how serious Sodexo is when it comes to Climate Changes. We are not just talking about it, we are doing something.”
