Technology Category	Sensors - Environmental Sensors
Applicable Functions	Product Research & Development
Use Cases	Continuous Emission Monitoring Systems Indoor Air Quality Monitoring
Challenge	HelloAsso, a French platform for associations, clubs, foundations, and unions, was keen on understanding and reducing its carbon footprint. The company had always prioritized environmental issues and had joined the Leaders For Climate Action program in 2020. However, they realized that to effectively reduce their greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, they first needed to measure them. This led them to the decision of conducting their first GHG assessment. The challenge was not only to calculate the emissions but also to involve the entire business in the process of reducing them. They aimed to understand the impact of digital technology on their carbon emissions and to draw an action plan for long-term emission reduction. Read More

The platform is 100% free, with no commissions or hidden fees. In addition to the membership system, donation collection, online store, participative campaigns, online ticketing, and integrated payment form, HelloAsso has also created a search engine for activities and associative projects accessible on any search engine for maximum visibility. Environmental issues have always been an integral part of their development, and they joined the Leaders For Climate Action program in 2020. Read More
Solution	HelloAsso partnered with Greenly, a company recognized for its simple and intuitive carbon footprint measurement solution. Greenly's solution, which had earned the French Tech Green 2020 label, was chosen to calculate HelloAsso's carbon footprint. The assessment took into account not only direct and energy-related emissions (Scope 1 & 2) but also indirect emissions caused by service providers and services used by the company (Scope 3). The results of the assessment pointed out areas of improvement for an active environmental policy. Based on these results, an action plan was drawn up, which is currently being implemented. The plan involves managers from each major emissions item, and reduction actions are being defined in collaboration with each relevant department. Read More Log in to view content
