A big part of Opus Bilprovning's business concept has always been to check the emission levels of vehicles. But the ambition grew: Opus also wanted to take responsibility for its own climate impact throughout the value chain.
Together with ZeroMission , Opus Bilprovning calculated the average carbon dioxide emissions of customers traveling to and from the workshop.
Since Opus wanted to have a climate-neutral business, ZeroMission used the PAS 2060 standard that regulates the concept. The requirements include, for example, that all greenhouse gas emissions from all phases of the product's life cycle have been calculated, reported, reduced and offset in order to be described as climate neutral.
It is difficult for Opus to influence customers' car choices. Therefore, they chose to climate finance for customers' emissions and were thus able, in collaboration with ZeroMission, to achieve climate neutrality. Opus climate finance by investing in the conservation and replanting of rainforest in the Amazon and on the Fiji Islands.
By broadening the perspective on climate responsibility, Opus Bilprovning has shown that it is possible to combine business benefits, customer engagement and concrete climate impact.
