Use a simplified lease program for renewable energy
Cathay Life, a leading commercial real estate landlord in Taiwan, has launched a simplified lease program to facilitate renewable energy adoption among its tenants. By acting as the primary purchaser of renewable energy, Cathay Life streamlines the procurement process, reducing complexities and accelerating the transition to green energy. This initiative has led to a 6.6% reduction in Scope 1 and 2 emissions between 2021 and 2022, cutting approximately 2,313 tons of carbon emissions.

Change product standard requirements to reduce food waste – Action Library (EN)
This resource focuses on changing product standard requirements to reduce food waste, emphasizing the elimination of strict cosmetic standards that reject imperfect food. By adjusting these standards, retailers can reduce waste, minimize GHG emissions, and boost financial returns. It also promotes redistributing surplus food and educating consumers about the value of imperfect products, which can significantly lower food waste and contribute to sustainability goals.

Opt for mixed land use to generate clean energy – Action Library (EN)
This resource discusses the potential of mixed land use to generate clean energy while maintaining agricultural productivity. By combining renewable energy production with farming, such as agrivoltaics (solar panels integrated with crops), land use efficiency can increase, supporting both energy and food production. This approach addresses land use conflicts, helping to meet the growing demands for both food and renewable energy, ultimately contributing to sustainability goals and decarbonization efforts.
Develop In-house, Web-based Tools To Calculate CO2 Footprint
The Develop In-House Web-Based Tools to Calculate CO2 Footprint resource from The Climate Drive’s Action Library provides guidance for organizations looking to create custom tools to measure, track, and manage their carbon footprint effectively. These in-house, web-based tools enable businesses to gather real-time data, streamline emissions calculations, and support strategic decision-making to meet climate goals.

Supermärkte im Wandel: Wie kann der Einzelhandel Net Zero beschleunigen? | The Carbon Trust
Der Bericht "Supermärkte im Wandel: Wie kann der Einzelhandel Net Zero beschleunigen?" des Carbon Trust bewertet die Fortschritte der zehn weltweit umsatzstärksten Supermärkte hinsichtlich ihrer Net-Zero-Verpflichtungen. Obwohl alle zehn Unternehmen Maßnahmen zur Reduzierung der Emissionen in ihren direkten Betrieben ergreifen, haben nur vier von ihnen umfassende Net-Zero-Ziele definiert, die ihre gesamten Wertschöpfungsketten berücksichtigen. Da etwa 85% der Emissionen dieser Einzelhändler aus ihren Produkten und Lieferketten stammen, betont der Bericht die Notwendigkeit eines tiefgreifenden Wandels und einer verstärkten Zusammenarbeit, um diese indirekten Emissionen effektiv zu reduzieren.
