CASACOR SP neutralizes 100% of its carbon emissions

Within the exhibition, sustainability transforms linear processes into cyclical processes, that is, at CASACOR SP , resources and energy used from renewable sources are prioritized and the waste generated by the activity should not simply be discarded, but destined for new purposes. In the constructions , this means projects capable of generating energy, reusing and saving water and recycling as much of their resources as possible, for example. Thus, every year, the organization and professionals strive to create an increasingly sustainable event, applying ecological parameters in the various environments.

Darlan Firmato, Sustainability Manager at CASACOR SP , explains that sustainability is the watchword at the São Paulo show. “Our actions range from the simplest and most possible to carry out within our own homes, to the most complex and involving the disposal of correct disposal of various items within the chain. We created a Waste Recovery Center at CASACOR São Paulo and, in 2019, we even included it in the exhibition itinerary. We promote everything from composting organic waste to the removal of straws, plastic spoons and sachets from food operations, even before the municipal law. We went from using construction techniques without the use of water to the total redefinition of materials used to build the exhibition environments, promoting a complete cycle to reduce impacts on the environment.”

Compensation in 3 scopes

By applying the GHG Protocol method and the quantification methods of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), CASACOR SP proves the scope of carbon emissions neutralization.

In the first scope, emissions were offset with Carbon Credits for the preservation of the Amazon rainforest , referring to Greenhouse Gases (GHG). In this case, quantification is considered mandatory by the GHG Protocol. GHG emissions come from sources owned or controlled by by the company, defined as direct emissions. At CASACOR, the source of this scope includes the composting process carried out in all phases of the event, the gas consumption of professionals, staff transportation and fugitive emissions from fire extinguishers.

The second scope was offset through a Renewable Energy Certificate (RECs) from wind sources , referring to GHG emissions from the acquisition of electricity. In the São Paulo event, the electricity used comes from the local concessionaire and the quantification of indirect emissions is considered mandatory by the GHG Protocol.

The third, non-mandatory scope was UN Carbon Credits and concerns indirect emissions that occur throughout the value chain, such as emissions from employee travel or transportation of exhibition waste to its proper destinations.

A complete inventory must include all sources of Scopes 1 and 2. Although quantification of Scope 3 is optional, CASACOR São Paulo included it in the inventory due to its relevance and representativeness. To give you an idea, indirect carbon emissions from event represent almost half of the numbers and, for this very reason, they have become a commitment of the show to its public and to the environment.
