Net-Zero Challenge
In keeping with Canada’s national climate targets, Maplesoft Consulting Inc. is pleased to announce our participation in Environment and Climate Change Canada’s Net Zero Challenge (NZC) with the goal of eliminating 100% of carbon emissions by the year 2050. In accordance with this challenge, Maplesoft plans to cut and ultimately eliminate all scope 1 and scope 2 carbon emissions by 2050.
Recognizing the urgent need to address climate change and its far-reaching impacts both locally and abroad, Maplesoft is taking proactive steps to significantly reduce and ultimately eliminate our carbon emissions footprint by 2050. This commitment aligns with the guiding principles of our organization as they relate to environmental sustainability and stewardship. By embracing this goal and participating in the NZC alongside the Canadian Government and other participating businesses, we are aligning ourselves with global efforts to combat climate change and pave the way for a more sustainable future.
- Reducing Emissions: Maplesoft will prioritize efforts to reduce our greenhouse gas emissions across our operations. Research will be conducted to identify opportunities to cut emissions in alignment with our 2050 target.
- Collaboration and Innovation: We recognize that achieving net zero requires collaboration and innovation. We will actively seek partnerships with like-minded organizations, share best practices, and explore new solutions to support the elimination of carbon emissions by 2050.
- Transparent Reporting and Accountability: We are committed to transparency and accountability in our journey towards net zero. We will regularly monitor and report on our progress, openly sharing our status towards our goal and lessons learned along the way.
Maplesoft remains committed to our goal of achieving net-zero carbon emissions by the year 2050 in alignment with Canada’s national climate targets. Last year, we announced our intention to participate in the Government of Canada’s Net-Zero Challenge (NZC) with the objective of contributing to Canada’s net-zero commitment. Today, we are pleased to take the next step in this challenge by announcing our interim emissions target in addition to the actions Maplesoft will be implementing to reach this interim target.
Maplesoft is committed to achieving a total emissions reduction of 44% by the year 2035. This is an aggregate target which encompasses all relevant emissions under scope 1 and scope 2. Our target was determined using the ambition threshold parameters for the NZC (as defined by Environment and Climate Change Canada) and represents a straight-line path leading to net-zero emissions by the year 2050.
This commitment to net zero by 2050 represents a significant milestone in Maplesoft’s sustainability journey. It underscores our unwavering dedication to responsible environmental stewardship and sets a positive example for our peers, partners, and the broader community.
