Challenges in Carbon Footprint<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Measuring and managing the carbon footprint is a critical challenge for companies seeking to minimize their environmental impact through the adoption of solar panels at production plants in Chile <\/strong>and the renewal of fleets with electric and gas vehicles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In turn, it is important to standardize Key Performance Indicators (KPIs<\/strong>) to measure progress in reducing carbon emissions, specifically in the Levelized Cost of Energy and the CO2 Emission Factor as fundamental metrics.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thus, technology plays an important role in supporting companies in their decarbonization processes, as stated by Sergio Hern\u00e1ndez from Huawei.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

‘The experience we have is mainly related to decarbonizing through the use of renewable energy by optimizing and primarily reducing the use of diesel generators that companies use as backup<\/strong> for these power generator groups that provide energy when the grid goes down.’<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the other hand, the overall strategy also proves important when setting goals and objectives, as Pepsico has done.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

‘We have a global strategy, which is more like a transformation that encompasses everything we do: from the agriculture of our raw materials to production, distribution, and also the marketing of all our products. We apply this in every country with ambitious goals of being sustainable in all the products we make,’ stated Sergio Romero.”<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
