1. Carbon footprinting in the healthcare industry March 13 2013, SAFHE/CEASA Conference Cape Town

2. Carbon Calculated Founded 2008 Need for cost-effective solution Trained in GHG Protocol (WRI & WBCSD) - organisational - project - verification - CarbonKnown

3. Myriad concepts Operational boundary Organisational boundary Indirect emissions Direct emissions Scope 1, 2 &3 Emissions factors Global warming potentials CO 2 e Uplift factors

4. Purpose of a carbon footprint What is a GHG? Not just Carbon dioxide - 6 main GHGs, incl: CO 2, SF 6, CH 4, N 2 O, HFCs, PFCs To capture as many DIRECT GHG emissions and INDIRECT GHG emissions as possible from an organisation/product. “You can’t manage what you can’t measure”

5. Direct & indirect emissions Direct emissions Emissions from equipment that an organisation owns or has control of. Indirect emissions Emissions that an organisation’s activities are responsible for, but for which they do not own the equipment. -Vehicle fleet - Air conditioning & refrigeration - Generators -Electricity - Air travel - Office paper -Commuting - Logisitics

6. Emission scopes Purposefully confusing, but does prevent double-counting! Compulsory vs. voluntary

7. So how do you do it? Emission factor Turns activity into actual GHG emissions. Multiply the volume of activity by an emission factor E.g. electricity Currently Eskom EF for electricity = 0.99 kgCO 2 per kWh Vodacom SA 2011: 297 615 982kWh = 294 640tCO 2 e

8. Carbon in healthcare Where do the emissions lie - Mediclinic

9. Carbon in healthcare Where do the emissions lie - Netcare

10. Carbon in healthcare Where do the emissions lie - Mediclinic

11. Carbon in healthcare Where do the emissions lie - Netcare

12. Benefits of carbon footprinting 1. Forced measurement of useful metrics 2. Understanding sustainability data – when, where, how 3. Controlling costs – where and how 4. Can track initiatives for improvement – esp. EE 5. Can set targets – carbon, financial, other
