The challenge
As a logistics player, Sparber Group faced increasing demands to calculate and certify the carbon footprint of its services. Although initially there was no regulatory requirement to measure emissions, Sparber Group’s company policy and market requirements led them to seek a solution to both calculate their carbon footprint and obtain a recognized certification.
One of the main challenges was the tight timeline for obtaining this certification. There was an urgency to secure the 2022 seal from the Ministry for the Ecological Transition (MITECO), which required gathering all data in record time. This called for swift action and an efficient tool to streamline both calculation and reporting processes. Following the submission of the required documents, Sparber successfully obtained the MITECO seal in just 13 days.
The solution & results
Sparber Group chose Dcycle directly, without considering other market options, as the initial product presentation impressed them from the outset. The platform won them over with its ease of use, simple data upload capabilities, and the quick, efficient support provided by the Dcycle team. Despite the complexity of gathering internal data for 2022, the Dcycle team supported Sparber Group every step of the way, ensuring a smooth and rapid integration.
Thanks to the platform’s agility, Sparber Group’s efforts collecting the necessary data, and the support provided, Sparber completed its carbon footprint calculation rapidly, enabling them to obtain certification.
Dcycle was also instrumental during the certification audit. Our platform not only validated Sparber Group’s data but also allowed the calculations to be reviewed and accepted by the auditors, demonstrating precision and reliability.
Since implementing Dcycle, Sparber Group has achieved, among other things:
• Carbon Footprint Calculation and MITECO approval Seal: With Dcycle, Sparber Group successfully certified its organizational carbon footprint.
• Streamlined Audit Process: The tool simplified data review and validation by the certifier, ensuring a reliable and agile process.
• Competitive Advantage: With a certified carbon footprint, Sparber Group can expand its market services with a strong commitment to sustainability.
