At NetNada, we help businesses track, manage, and reduce their carbon footprint through precise carbon accounting and actionable insights. Our partnership with BOO Studio Pty Ltd, a leader in design and manufacturing, highlights their commitment to sustainability and data-driven environmental improvements.
BOO Studio’s CY23 Carbon Emissions Summary Report provides valuable insights into their emissions profile, enabling them to develop strategic actions to reduce their carbon footprint and improve operational sustainability.
The Challenge
As a design and manufacturing firm, BOO Studio operates within a resource-intensive industry, where emissions are driven by supply chain activities, logistics, energy consumption, and professional services. The company wanted to:
- Gain a clear understanding of its emissions footprint across Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3 categories.
- Identify the highest-impact areas to focus sustainability efforts and reduce emissions.
- Engage suppliers and service providers in sustainability initiatives to drive industry-wide improvements.
BOO Studio needed a comprehensive emissions assessment that would highlight opportunities for carbon reduction and operational efficiencies.
NetNada’s Strategic Approach
To support BOO Studio’s sustainability objectives, NetNada implemented a structured carbon accounting framework, aligned with the Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Protocol. This ensured accurate emissions tracking across their supply chain and operations, allowing for targeted sustainability actions.
1. Comprehensive Emissions Reporting
BOO Studio’s CY23 Carbon Emissions Summary Report provided a full breakdown of their total emissions (1,755.593 tCO₂e), distributed as follows:
- Scope 1 (Direct Emissions): 0.35% from fuel use in company-controlled operations.
- Scope 2 (Indirect Emissions): 8.53% from purchased electricity, presenting an opportunity to transition toward renewable energy.
- Scope 3 (Supply Chain and Indirect Emissions): 91.12%, covering logistics, purchased goods, professional services, and operational activities.
2. Identifying Key Areas for Emissions Reduction
Through NetNada’s emissions analysis, BOO Studio gained insights into their highest-impact categories:
- Professional Services – 35.45%
- The largest contributor to BOO Studio’s footprint, highlighting the need for sustainability engagement with service providers.
- Supply Chain and Logistics – 14.47%
- Postage, courier, and freight emissions revealed a strong opportunity to optimise logistics and reduce transport-related emissions.
- Products and Construction Materials – 21.72%
- Raw materials sourcing emerged as a key factor, reinforcing the importance of sustainable procurement strategies.
- Electricity Consumption – 8.53%
- The report highlighted a significant opportunity to explore renewable energy solutions to lower emissions.
- Office Equipment and ICT – 8.14%
- 104.03 tCO₂e from office equipment and 38.91 tCO₂e from ICT services indicated the importance of optimising hardware lifecycles and choosing energy-efficient technology providers.
3. Establishing a Framework for Future Sustainability Initiatives
By aligning BOO Studio’s reporting with the GHG Protocol, NetNada helped establish clear organisational and operational boundaries, ensuring that all relevant emissions were accurately measured and categorised.
This structured approach provides BOO Studio with:
✔ A reliable baseline for emissions tracking and reduction efforts.
✔ Insights into high-impact areas for targeted sustainability initiatives.
✔ A roadmap for renewable energy adoption and supply chain improvements.
