Contribution to climate action

A member of the 2050Today initiative since 2021, the Diplomatic Club of Geneva is actively engaged in the fight against climate change, with the aim of achieving carbon neutrality by 2050. Every day, both in its operations and at its events, it strives to act responsibly and concretely towards our planet.

From 2021 onwards, actions have been taken to avoid food waste at events and give priority to local and seasonal produce.

The Club is also committed to raising awareness among its members of the importance of climate change. Several events have been organized, covering topics such as ocean protection and highlighting innovative projects such as 2050Today initiative and GeniLac site.

Lastly, at the end of 2022, the Club launched an innovative initiative to finance a local ecological project each year, up to the amount of its carbon footprint.

Thematic actions

Biodiversity

At the end of 2022, the Diplomatic Club launched an initiative to finance a local ecological project each year, up to the amount of its carbon footprint (based on CHF 1 per kg of CO2).

Achievements

  • 2023: Planting of a mini-orchard and construction of a dry hedge next to the Club’s offices at Domaine La Pastorale

Food

Since 2021, the Diplomatic Club has been striving to reduce the amount of food served during cocktails as much as possible to minimize food waste, and to offer local and seasonal food.

Achievements

  • 2022: Cocktails with 50% vegetarian items (excluding sweet items).
  • 2022: 30% reduction in the number of cocktail pieces per person.

Waste management

The Diplomatic Club is committed to reducing and recycling its waste, while favoring the use of eco-responsible materials.

Achievements

  • 2022: Replacement of the capsule coffee machine with a ground coffee machine.
  • 2024: Use of membership cards as badges at events.

Empreinte carbone et émissions par champ d'application

La méthodologie de mesure des émissions de gaz à effet de serre (GES) de 2050Aujourd’hui suit le Protocole des GES. Ce protocole fournit aux organisations des normes et des orientations pour mesurer et gérer les émissions responsables du réchauffement climatique. Il a été créé en 1998 dans le cadre d’un partenariat entre le World Resources Institute (WRI) et le Conseil mondial des entreprises pour le développement durable (World Business Council for Sustainable Development, WBCSD).

Selon le Protocole des GES, la répartition des émissions se fait par champs d’application :

Scope 1 represents direct emissions linked to the consumption of fossil fuels.
Scope 2 represents indirect emissions from the generation of purchased electricity, steam, heating and cooling consumed by the reporting company.
Scope 3 includes all other indirect emissions that occur in a company’s value chain (i.e. purchased good or services, business travel, employee commuting).

L’empreinte carbone de 2050Aujourd’hui prend en compte les émissions déclarées générées par les activités de l’institution sur une année et est divisée par catégories :

Energy and water
It takes into account the amount of the consumed electricity produced and purchased by the institution. L’énergie consommée pour chauffer et/ou refroidir les bâtiments de l’institution et l’eau consommée sont également incluses.

Mobility
It takes into consideration business travels and commuting (on a survey basis).

Food
The CO2 impact of food includes the catering of the institution and individual consumption (on a survey basis) during working hours.

Purchased goods
The perimeter of purchased goods is set to a list of new office equipment, new mobility equipment (vehicles) and construction materials.

Waste
The perimeter of the waste inventory is set to waste production from facilities and internal operations of the institution

Il convient de noter que les données collectées par les membres de 2050Today pour chaque empreinte carbone ne sont pas encore totalement standardisées et pourraient ne pas être entièrement complètes. La collecte des données est progressivement harmonisée et améliorée. Par conséquent, les comparaisons directes entre les tCO2 / employé parmi les institutions – que ce soit en général ou par secteur – ne sont pas encore possibles ni pertinentes. Afin de garantir la fiabilité, la précision et la mise à jour régulière de l’évaluation de l’empreinte carbone, 2050Aujourd’hui est conseillé par un comité scientifique international de l’empreinte carbone.
