In the inventory report, Foresea presented detailed data on its GHG emissions in each of the scopes defined by the program: direct emissions from sources controlled by the company (Scope 1), indirect emissions related to the company’s electricity consumption (Scope 2), and indirect emissions from sources not directly controlled by the company (Scope 3).
Foresea’s Commitment to Transparency
By adhering to the Brazilian GHG Protocol Program, Foresea reaffirms its commitment to transparency and the application of best practices in managing its emissions. The company constantly pursues energy efficiency in all its operations. In 2023, Foresea took the initiative to structure a new area dedicated to Innovation, with the main objective of developing projects focused on improving energy efficiency.
Reduction of Marine Diesel Consumption
Among the priorities highlighted by Foresea is the reduction of marine diesel consumption. This initiative directly aims to decrease GHG emissions. Marco Aurélio Fonseca, Vice President of Sustainability, emphasizes: ‘Improving the inventory methods for emissions, according to the GHG Protocol, is essential for us to evaluate the results of all these initiatives.’
Development of the Brazilian GHG Protocol Program
The GHG Protocol was adapted to the Brazilian context in 2008, creating the Brazilian GHG Protocol Program. This program developed specific tools for calculating and estimating GHG emissions in Brazil. Developed by FGVces and WRI, in collaboration with the Ministry of the Environment, CEBDS, WBCSD, and 27 founding companies, the program offers a robust and reliable framework for emissions management.
