Many people are familiar with scopes 1, 2, and 3. Scope 1 is the direct CO2 emissions from your company, Scope 2 is indirect emissions, for example, from the energy you purchase. And Scope 3 relates to the emissions generated within the supply chain. However, there is now increasing attention on Scope 0, which refers to the CO2 that the company has emitted in the past. Very few companies currently incorporate this into their strategy.

Oncra offers a solution to the many problems that plague the market for so-called CO2 compensation. The biggest issue is that in this market, compensation credits, or offsets, are offered that do little or nothing to remove CO2. Many credits are issued for not cutting down forests. The Oncra methodology addresses this by only certifying onsets: real, physical capture of CO2 in plants, soils, and materials. This capture is directly measurable, making onsets much more reliable.
The online measurement system of GSES (Global Sustainable Enterprise System) now integrates Scope 0 into its dashboarding to measure organizations and suppliers. Organizations with a net-zero ambition can achieve this with the Scope 0 calculation and then onset, which means paying farmers, builders, or seaweed growers to actually remove CO2 from the atmosphere.
Onsets are certified through the Oncra certification scheme and audited via Audit Independer by independent Certification Bodies. Oncra stands for Open Natural Carbon Removal Accounting and was developed by Climate Cleanup in collaboration with a bank and two provinces, according to the new rules of the European Commission for carbon removal certification.

About the Climate Cleanup Foundation
The goal of the Climate Cleanup Foundation is to remove enough CO2 to solve the climate problem. Climate Cleanup is the initiator of Oncra, which has already mapped 180,000 tons of additional CO2 capture since its launch at the last UN climate conference. This way, organizations can onset instead of offset.

In a significant move towards advancing sustainability in the GreenTech sector, Global Sustainable Enterprise System (GSES) introduces the groundbreaking Environmental Technology Verification (ETV) Module. This innovative tool is meticulously designed to measure and verify the environmental claims of cutting-edge technologies, offering a pathway to elevate their credibility through third-party validation.

GSES ETV module highlights

1. Comprehensive technology ESG dashboard:
GSES proudly presents the Technology ESG Dashboard, a tailored solution for technology users. This comprehensive tool provides users with an in-depth view of validated technology claims, ETV verification reports, and Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) scores on an organisational level.

2. Global standard compliance with ISO 14034:
GSES employs the Environmental Technology Verification (ETV) ISO 14034 standard to assess technologies. Recognised as the sole global standard for measuring green technologies, ISO 14034:2016 Environmental Management sets the benchmark for ETV processes. Published by the International Organisation for Standardisation (ISO) in November 2016, this standard ensures a quality-assured process for independent confirmation of environmental technology performance through objective evidence.

Key objectives of ETV:
Supporting Informed Decision-Making:
The ETV process supports stakeholders in making well-informed decisions by providing accurate and reliable data on technology performance.

Enhancing demonstration, deployment, and market acceptance:
ETV plays a crucial role in enhancing the demonstration, deployment, and market acceptance of technology-based solutions. By offering third-party validation, it instills confidence in users and stakeholders.

GSES is committed to fostering transparency and credibility in the GreenTech sector, and the introduction of the ETV Module marks a significant step towards achieving these goals. As sustainability becomes an increasingly integral part of innovation, GSES continues to lead the way in providing robust frameworks and tools to propel the GreenTech industry forward.
