IDS, a security services firm contracted by the UN, conducted a carbon accounting pilot project in Afghanistan based on the E-liability approach, highlighting surprising emission sources.
They found that 38.5% of their total emissions stemmed from feeding staff, revealing significant insights into carbon sources typically overlooked in environmental assessments.
Key takeaways for other companies from this project include the ease of adopting the E-liability approach, the importance of challenging prior environmental assumptions, and being cautious with industry benchmarks.
Corporate responsibility for carbon emissions is commonly attributed to fossil fuel companies, but carbon disclosure standards may limit understanding of emissions across broader supply chains.
