Purpose of the collaboration
Measuring its carbon footprint enabled Meurisse to understand and quantify its main emission sources according to recognized standards (GHG Protocol, ISO 14064). It now has a clear view of its climate impact, a concrete action plan to reduce emissions, and a solid foundation for structuring its climate strategy.
The materiality analysis enabled Meurisse to identify its priority ESG issues, structure its strategy, and focus efforts on the most impactful topics. This work resulted in a materiality matrix and strategic summary clarifying material issues, their business implications, and associated action paths.
In continuity, B Corp certification support enabled Meurisse to structure its internal governance, evaluate its practices against B Lab standards, and formalize a clear action plan for next steps. This work allowed the company to obtain B Corp certification, join a community of committed businesses, and strengthen recognition of its commitments among stakeholders.
