THE CHALLENGE
A manufacturing plant based in Quebec, belonging to a subsidiary of a multinational corporation, was struggling to meet corporate head office’s GHG emissions reduction targets. The plant’s management was trying to control its rapidly increasing operating expenses. The ‘template’ to measure and manage emissions provided by an expensive, well known consulting firm earlier in the year failed to provide elaborate guidance to our client on managing and reducing its emissions.
Our Solution:
To assist our client, YellowYellow adopted a pragmatic approach and started by visiting the Montreal facility in person to understand our client’s operations and to dive deep into their greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions data. Our detailed analysis of their data pinpointed the key sources of emissions and identified where reductions could be made in a cost-effective way. We also identified funding and grant opportunities for our client to support some of their decarbonisation measures. Our recommendations provided a double-benefit roadmap: significant emission reductions and lower operational costs.
The Impact:
The result was a practical strategy that put the client on course to exceed their sustainability goals along with improving their financial results. This plan marks a significant step towards sustainable manufacturing leadership in North America, demonstrating that environmental responsibility and cost savings can go hand in hand.
At YellowYellow, we specialize in turning sustainability challenges into opportunities for growth and efficiency for our manufacturing clients. If you’re looking to achieve your environmental targets or need help in reducing your costs, we’re here to guide you through.
