Pasantía "estrategias de reducción y compensación de emisiones basadas en la huella de carbono de Outsourcing S.A.S BIC

Abstract

This internship project establishes a comprehensive strategy for the reduction and compensation of the corporate carbon footprint of Outsourcing S.A.S. BIC during the year 2025. Through the rigorous application of the GHG Protocol guidelines and the ISO 14064-1 standard, a baseline emissions inventory was calculated, amounting to 370.19 tons of CO2 equivalent. The technical diagnosis identified that the main critical hotspots lie in the high electrical consumption of the operation and the fugitive emissions generated by obsolete refrigerant gases, particularly affecting the Pereira headquarters. In response, a mitigation portfolio was formulated, focusing on optimizing HVAC systems, digitalizing documentary processes, and improving solid waste control, projecting an operational reduction of 85.23 tons. Finally, a compensation mechanism was structured in the voluntary market to neutralize the residual impact and achieve institutional carbon neutrality.
