Net-Zero Guiding Principles
Operational Emissions
Magna's operational decarbonization strategy is focused on energy conservation and renewable electricity procurement. We are working with our partners and stakeholders to identify emerging technology that will tackle energy-intensive processes.
1. Energy Transparency
Energy transparency refers to the openness and accessibility of information and data regarding energy consumption at all levels of use within a division. This is critical to the development of strategies and projects that minimize energy use an is the foundation of energy management.
2. Energy Efficiency
Through energy efficiency measures, machinery and equipment can be optimized and specific energy consumption improved. The aim is to reduce energy consumption to a necessary minimum.
3. Renewable Energy
A regional portfolio approach to renewable energy, including: Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs), Energy Attribute Certificates (EACs) and self-generation, where feasible.
Net-Zero Guiding Principles
Value Chain Emissions
While all value chain emissions may not be actionable for every Magna location at this time, the framework below is used to quantify and control value chain emissions globally. This framework will also be applicable for Scope 3 emissions projects at our divisions.
1. Develop Plan
Developing a plan for Scope 3 emissions reduction is important for identifying opportunities to reduce emissions across the value chain and for demonstrating a commitment to sustainability.
2. Monitor Sources
Monitoring Scope 3 emission sources is important for tracking progress towards reduction targets and improving transparency and accountability.
3. Manage Emissions
Managing Scope 3 emissions sources is important for reducing emissions across the value chain and demonstrating a commitment to sustainability. It can also result in cost savings, improved efficiency, and reduced environmental impact.
