Advancing Decarbonization Efforts: M.O.C and Persefoni Collaboration

In a significant step towards environmental sustainability, M.O.C Co., Ltd. (based in Nagoya, Aichi Prefecture) has integrated the carbon accounting platform Persefoni with support from SCSK Corporation (headquartered in Koto, Tokyo). This collaboration aims to refine the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions calculations and contribute to the decarbonization of the local community.

Background: Driving Decarbonization Through Persefoni

As global warming becomes an urgent issue, Aichi Bank, a regional financial institution, actively promotes decarbonization initiatives among its clients to support sustainable community development. Aichi Bank has already adopted Persefoni with SCSK's assistance and encourages its clients to leverage this platform for their decarbonization efforts. M.O.C has been introduced to Persefoni as a means to enhance its GHG emissions calculations through its recycled heavy oil business, contributing to a circular economy.

SCSK, equipped with extensive knowledge and experience in implementing Persefoni, has stepped in to assist M.O.C in establishing a sophisticated GHG emissions calculation framework. By utilizing Persefoni, M.O.C aims for a more precise calculation and management of GHG emissions not only from Scope 1 and 2 but also encompassing the entire supply chain under Scope 3, thereby contributing to the realization of a sustainable community. This initiative marks a pioneering effort among small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in tackling Scope 3 emissions computations and management.
