Caso de Éxito - Penn Engineering - Fabricación de Maquinaria Industrial

Penn Engineering

PennEngineering is a technology and manufacturing firm that has been providing fastening solutions for compact electronics, automotive electronics, data, telecom and more since 1942. The PennEngineering portfolio includes PEM®, PROFIL®, HEYCO® PennAuto® and other leading brands. At PennEngineering, an important area of focus is environmental responsibility. PennEngineering aims to promote carbon neutral practices by employing energy efficiency and improvement initiatives, reducing Scope 2 emissions through renewable power opportunities, and better waste management and water consumption practices.

Aligned with the recent shift towards sustainable products and value chain decarbonization across the globe, PennEngineering has begun to receive requests from their customers to share their scope 1 and scope2 emissions to aid in value chain emissions tracking and enable decarbonization.

To respond to these customer requests and position the company as a leader in sustainability, PennEngineering elected to adopt a corporate-wide process to collect and calculate scope 1 and scope 2 GHG emissions across all manufacturing and technical facilities in the United States, Europe, and Asia.

A major challenge with this commitment is that the vast majority of PennEngineering’s global manufacturing facilities had never calculated or tracked GHG emissions. To ensure appropriate carbon accounting methodologies aligned with global standards were employed, PennEngineering reached out to SINAI to guide the company through the process of developing an inventory, in a fashion that could be repeatable annually for the business

Enfoque del SINAI

Challenge

Apoyo a la elaboración de inventarios de GEI por primera vez

Con los expertos en éxito de clientes y cambio climático de SINAI a la cabeza, se desarrollaron plantillas de recopilación de datos personalizadas para PennEngineering con el fin de recopilar datos de actividad de alcance 1 y 2 de las operaciones globales. Para garantizar que se registraban todos los datos de actividad necesarios, SINAI trabajó con PennEngineering para conocer a fondo sus instalaciones técnicas y de fabricación y establecer los límites de las emisiones de la empresa. Al garantizar que se solicitaban los datos pertinentes de las operaciones de los clientes, se identificaron, recopilaron e introdujeron en el sistema de SINAI todos los datos de alcance 1 y alcance 2 en sólo 6 semanas.

Why SINAI

Gestión repetible del inventario de GEI

As PennEngineering was starting from a blank slate, SINAI led the client through GHG Protocol calculation methodologies, the appropriate global standards for GHG calculations, and demonstrated how the collected activity data was going to be used in the SINAI system to calculate the companies emissions.

With all required calculation methodologies embedded in SINAI’s software, once activity data was inputted, scope 1 and scope 2 GHG calculations were automated and GHG results were instantly able to be viewed by PennEngineering’s team. All methodologies and calculations were set up in a manner so that emissions calculations could be repeated in the future as new activity data was gathered.

Solution

Benefits & Results

Mediante el uso de SINAI Technologies, PennEngineering pasó de no tener ningún inventario de GEI a tener un inventario de GEI de alcance 1 y 2 completo, repetible y auditable en todas sus operaciones en sólo 6 semanas. El rápido tiempo de respuesta que SINAI fue capaz de proporcionar a PennEngineering permitió a la empresa responder rápidamente a las peticiones de sus clientes con confianza en los datos que estaban revelando. Además, la forma en que los cálculos de GEI de la empresa se configuraron en SINAI permite ahora a PennEngineering calcular y supervisar continuamente sus emisiones de carbono en los próximos años.
