IRCA Group Climate Strategy

Our approach

IRCA Group is proud to announce the first step in its Climate Strategy, focusing on reducing direct (Scope 1) and indirect (Scope 2) greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.

In the coming years, IRCA will take further actions to reduce GHG emissions along the entire value chain, setting comprehensive targets for Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions.

2024 Group GHG Inventory Fare 

Scope 1: All emissions directly related to the company's operations (ie natural gas)

Scope 2: All indirect emissions resulting from the consumption of electricity purchased from the grid.

Scope 3: UPSTREAM: Purchased goods and services, Fuel-and-energy-related activities (not included in Scope 1 or 2), Waste generated in operations, Capital goods, Upstream transportation and distribution; DOWNSTREAM: Downstream transportation and distribution

Emission Reduction Targets

At IRCA Group, we believe that mitigating our impact on the climate is not just a responsibility but essential for the future of our business. We are committed to making significant strides towards sustainability, starting with our direct emissions. These initial steps are part of our broader commitment to align our efforts with global climate goals.

Levers for Reduction

Renewable energy

One of the most significant levers is covering all our electricity consumption with renewable energy, either purchased through Guarantees of Origin (GOs) or self-produced through photovoltaic (PV) plants, already operational in 9 of our facilities, and whose number will be increased with various new installations.

 

IoT-integrated monitoring systems

 

Additional levers defined are the IoT-integrated monitoring systems implementation.



Already installed the firsts facilities, to increase energy efficiency and reduce energy consumption for major energy loads.

Heating systems and Refrigerants

Other levers that have been defined for decarbonization include:

 

  • the electrification of our heating systems

  • substituting high Global Warming Potential (GWP) refrigerants with low or zero-emission alternatives.

Others

Our decarbonization strategy includes other actions, like additional energy efficiency, natural gas substitution in production processes and transitioning our company car fleet to more hybrid or electric vehicles. An important analysis of these decarbonization levers has already begun, to identify the operational solutions that are most effective for GHG emission reduction strategy.
