1. Executive Summary As a social impact enterprise dedicated to sustainable housing solutions, Aforcire is committed to transparency and accountability in our environmental performance. This briefing provides a detailed analysis of our company\'s direct (Scope 1) and indirect (Scope 2) greenhouse gas emissions for the first year of operations. Our focus on an innovative business model—manufacturing houses on wheels for low-income communities—has resulted in a significantly lower carbon footprint compared to traditional construction firms. Our analysis shows that our total combined Scope 1 and 2 emissions are an estimated 87.59 metric tons of CO2 equivalent (tCO2e). This is a critical metric that validates our sustainable business model and serves as a benchmark for future performance improvement. 2. Scope 1 Emissions: Direct Operational Emissions Scope 1 emissions arise from sources owned or controlled by Aforcire. For our company, these emissions are primarily from our vehicle fleet and on-site generator use. Total Scope 1 Emissions: ~50.59 tCO2e Breakdown: Company Vehicle Fleet (~46.36 tCO2e): This is our largest direct emissions source, primarily from diesel-powered trucks used for material procurement and the delivery of finished homes. We use a lean logistics model to minimize travel and transport. On-site Generator Use (~4.02 tCO2e): Emissions from diesel-powered generators used as a backup power source at our manufacturing facility. Our reliance on this is minimal due to the growing reliability of the local grid in Gujarat. Refrigerant Leakage (~0.21 tCO2e): Minor emissions from the leakage of refrigerants in our office and vehicle AC units. Key Takeaway: Our Scope 1 emissions are concentrated in our transportation and logistics. This highlights a clear opportunity for our next phase: transitioning our fleet to electric vehicles or sourcing biofuel alternatives to further reduce our direct emissions. 3. Scope 2 Emissions: Indirect Emissions from Purchased Energy Scope 2 emissions are a result of the generation of electricity purchased from the grid for our offices and manufacturing plant. Our commitment to energy efficiency is a key factor in keeping this number low. Total Scope 2 Emissions: ~37.0 tCO2e Breakdown: Manufacturing and Office Consumption (50,000 kWh): We have a high-performance, 2,000 m 2 facility that operates with an EPI (Energy Performance Index) of around 60 kWh/m 2 /year, a level that meets the stringent \"Super ECBC\" standard. On-site Renewable Energy Generation (70,000 kWh): Our rooftop solar installation generates a significant portion of our energy needs, offsetting a substantial amount of what we would have to pull from the grid. Our net grid consumption is only 50,000 kWh. Location-Based Grid Emission Factor (0.74 kg CO2e/kWh): This factor reflects the carbon intensity of the Indian grid, which dictates our final emissions number. Key Takeaway: Our Scope 2 emissions are kept low through our dedication to energy-efficient design and the use of on-site renewable energy. This demonstrates a clear alignment between our company values and operational practices. We are already performing at a level that would result in a fraction of the emissions of a conventional company of similar size. 4. Looking Ahead: Next Steps Our first year\'s emissions data provides a solid foundation for future carbon reduction strategies. We will focus on the following to achieve our net-zero goals: Fleet Electrification: Prioritize the phased transition of our delivery and logistics fleet to electric vehicles, directly targeting our largest source of Scope 1 emissions. Supply Chain and Materials Sourcing: Begin a deeper analysis of our Scope 3 emissions (supply chain, raw materials, waste) to identify and quantify our indirect carbon footprint. This is a crucial step towards becoming a truly sustainable enterprise. Increased On-site Generation: Explore opportunities to expand our on-site solar capacity to achieve full energy independence and a net-zero Scope 2 footprint. By measuring and managing our emissions, we are not only fulfilling our social responsibility but also reinforcing our position as a leader in innovative, sustainable, and affordable housing.
