CARBON NEUTRALITY

Présentation

Q&A

The latest IPCC reports are alarming and insist on the need for a drastic and rapid reduction of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions on a human scale. IMS wants to encourage its member organisations to reduce their GHG emissions to limit global warming to a maximum of 2°C and ideally 1.5°C.

Previously (2022), a Task Force made up of some forty organisations worked on the subject, basing its work in particular on the methods of the Science-Based Targets initiative, an international initiative that certifies that companies' reduction targets are in line with what climate science recommends. The aim of the Task Force was, therefore, to go beyond carbon offsetting and focus on the activities of its members and their impact.

You can find out more about this subject in the Climate Pact working groups, in events dedicated to CSRD as part of the Sustainability Manager Club, or in the Sustainability Academy training courses.

Why should a company take part in BLIC?

– You will be compliant with the CSRD directive, which will apply to all listed companies and similar-sized entities operating in the European Union by 2025
– You will be more transparent with your stakeholders
– You will optimise your resources and processes
– You will be able to manage the risks posed by climate change and by future regulations
– You will be able to take a proactive approach and distinguish from your competitors

What is the CSRD?

The "Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD)" is a new European directive that aims to improve sustainability reporting requirements for listed companies and similar-sized entities operating in the European Union. It is based on the principles of ESG, which stand for environmental, social and governance criteria. For the BLIC project, we will focus solely on the climate change aspect (ESRS E1).

Even if your company is not yet covered by the CSRD, you will still have to report your carbon footprint and prepare a transition plan, as your customers, suppliers, and partners will ask you to do so.

Is there a fixed timetable for the project?

The BLIC project is tailor-made and adapts to suit your needs, no matter how advanced you are in terms of climate issues or your business sector.

Do I have to be an IMS member to take part?

You don't necessarily have to be an IMS member to participate in the BLIC initiative.

HOW MUCH DOES IT COST TO TAKE PART IN THE BLIC PROJECT?

7,500 per company for IMS members.
9,500 for non-IMS members.

HOW OFTEN WILL MEETINGS BE HELD?

Four group sessions and two individual sessions will be scheduled according to project needs. However, the Project Manager will remain available to support you individually throughout the project.

The 4 group sessions and the 2 individual sessions will be in-person. However, we can adapt to your needs.
