There was a lot of debate about the climate in 2016, but this time with a visible difference: we went from being spectators of climate change to participating in it. If before it was said that polar ice caps melted because of warming, that's okay. The Poles are far away from us. Today the scenario is different and the climate in Brazilian cities seems to have become even more confused. Extreme heat with very high temperatures has forced the population to adjust with fans and air conditioning devices. In the morning very sunny, at the end of the day torrential rains flood cities and cause a lot of inconvenience.<\/p>\n
All of this is a result of climate change caused by human actions. In addition to deforestation, the burning of fossil fuels to generate energy (such as oil, mineral coal and natural gas), agriculture and other factors influence the emission of these gases.<\/p>\n
Furthermore, 2016 also marked the anniversary of the Paris Agreement, which stipulated ambitious goals to contain the advance of world temperature with the central objective of strengthening the global response to the threat of climate change and reinforcing the capacity of countries to deal with the impacts arising from these changes.<\/p>\n
Brazil was one of the most ambitious in its goals, even serving as an example and \u201cpulling other Nations\u201d. The country has committed, by 2025, to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 37% below 2005 levels.<\/p>\n
Given this whole scenario, it is essential that companies and society in general discuss ways to slow down negative impacts. The fact is that they become exponential as time goes by, hence the importance of debating and calling on citizens so that everyone does their part.<\/p>\n
Ticket Log, a company that operates in the corporate expense management segment, understood the importance of the active role of companies in this scenario. We came to the conclusion that it is not enough just to deliver the product or service that the customer paid for. It is necessary to go further and see the responsibility of the organization as an agent of social transformation.<\/p>\n
The company has created two programs that actively address the issue of climate change. O "Sustainable Fleet\u201d<\/strong> is a solution created to offer a way to measure the level of sustainable management of fleets, with guidelines for the search for improvements. Through indicators, Ticket Log ensures constant increase in fleet efficiency and reduction of costs and, mainly, socio-environmental impacts.<\/p>\n The first step is mapping the situation of the customers' fleets, assigning grades to each of the indicators considered. Next, opportunities for improvement are identified and an action plan is defined in favor of excellence in sustainability. The last phase includes the application of this plan. Once the cycle is completed, Ticket Log restarts the process, to ensure that the customer's sustainable efficiency is constant.<\/p>\n already the \u201cCarbon Credit<\/strong>\u201d, approved under the strict standards of the Verified Carbon Standards<\/em> (VCS), allows the generation of carbon credits from the reduction of GHG (Greenhouse Gases) emissions from commercial fleets of vehicles with flex-fuel technology. Credits can be traded on voluntary carbon markets. The project is based on the fact that emissions from burning biofuel in cars are considered neutral, since sugarcane absorbs carbon dioxide in an equivalent volume in the photosynthesis process.<\/p>\n The company has assumed a role as a promoter of change, delivering, in addition to the services themselves, tools and solutions so that its customers can also encourage positive changes for the planet. Alone we cannot make significant advances, but, acting in partnership and encouraging our customers, partners and employees, we can go further.<\/p>\n Some fruits of this important initiative could already be seen. Thyssenkrupp, a Ticket Log customer, implemented the Carbon Credit project and stopped emitting 679 tons of carbon through the use of ethanol in 100% of the S\u00e3o Paulo fleet, which totals 200 vehicles. Pharmaceutical Medley, also with the Carbon Credit, managed to reduce 58% of its GHG emissions from the fleet.<\/p>\n The Votorantim Group, one of the largest business conglomerates in the country, opted for the Sustainable Fleet program to face the enormous logistical challenges of its operations. As a result, it recorded improvements of 56% in the maintenance of fleet vehicles, 109% in safety indexes and a reduction of 25% in the emission of conventional pollutants.<\/p>\n These are just some of the results that validate Ticket Log's initiative to work with its stakeholders for change. This evidences the company's real commitment to educate, raise awareness and transform the visions of its customers, showing them the economic and ecological viability, obtained by management and commitment to building a promising future for our world.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Ticket Log has created two programs that actively address climate change.
