🌿📊 Climate Review: Once Upon Publishing AB 🌍
Once Upon Publishing AB has conducted its second carbon accounting report, which we at ClimateHero have assisted them with. This comprehensive 2023 climate report illustrates Once Upon's dedication to sustainability, transparency, and emission reduction. Using data from 2022 as a baseline, the report outlines their greenhouse gas emissions, reduction targets, and strategies for achieving their ambitious climate goals.
ClimateHero’s Statement:
Once Upon is commendable for its proactive approach towards sustainability within the publishing industry. As a growing company, they have demonstrated a robust commitment to reducing their carbon footprint. By actively engaging with their printing houses as partners rather than mere suppliers, Once Upon has achieved significant results. This collaboration has led to a notable decrease in the carbon intensity of the energy used by printing houses, with a larger proportion now sourced from renewable energy. Additionally, the carbon footprint of supply paper is now predominantly based on specific emissions data for the paper used, with 85% of data derived from life cycle assessments and transportation distances between mills and printing houses. Such initiatives underscore Once Upon's commitment to making real and impactful changes.
Climate Goals:
Achieve net-zero emissions by 2040
Halve emissions by 2030
Reduce emissions by 35% by 2026
(These targets are intensity-based, measured in tons of CO2e per net revenue)
Key Findings:
Total emissions for 2023: 851 tons CO2e
Emissions per MSEK net revenue: 3.6 tons CO2e (a 15% reduction from 2022)
Emissions per book: 2.09 kg CO2e (a 3% reduction from 2022)
Scope Breakdown:
Scope 1 (Direct emissions): 0%
Scope 2 (Indirect emissions from energy use): 0.4%
Scope 3 (Upstream and downstream emissions): 99.6%
Next Steps:
Supply Paper: Decrease paper waste, request emission data from suppliers, and explore paper with lower climate impact
Ink: Work with printing partners to minimize ink usage and find sustainable alternatives.
Printing House Energy: Ensure all printing partners use 100% renewable energy by 2026.
Transport: Reduce air freight, particularly from foreign printing houses, and optimize shipping methods.
Business Travel: Implement a system to increase transparency and oversight of business travel to reduce CO2e emissions.
Commuting: Encourage employees to lease bikes and adopt climate-friendly commuting options.
Purchased Energy: Improve office space utilization and finalize a remote work policy.
Commitment to Climate Action:
Once Upon is part of the SME Climate Hub and the UN Race to Zero campaign. They have also appointed a sustainability manager, reflecting their dedication to driving meaningful change within their value chain.
Investments in Climate Projects:
To further support global climate action, Once Upon has adopted an internal carbon price and is investing 1000 SEK per ton of CO2e emitted into various climate projects.
These investments include:
40% in durable carbon removals through biochar.
30% in scaling renewable energy in regions with high fossil fuel dependence.
30% in nature-based solutions like mangrove reforestation.
