mc2i, a digital transformation consulting firm, was committed to reducing its carbon emissions as part of its environmental responsibility. However, the firm faced challenges in measuring and monitoring its carbon footprint, raising awareness among its employees, and engaging its service providers in the process. The firm needed a comprehensive understanding of its practices and activities to implement effective solutions for reducing its environmental footprint. The task of carrying out a carbon footprint analysis was energy-consuming and tedious, as the required elements were scattered throughout the organization. The firm also wanted to go beyond the regulatory requirement of carrying out a carbon assessment including scope 1 and 2 only, every five years. Given their core business and steady growth, they felt it necessary to carry out a full carbon assessment, including the impact of digital uses and materials, services, etc.
