SGS and Life & Living Sign Memorandum of Understanding for Adoption of S-Carbon Comprehensive Digital Carbon Management Platform

November 28, 2024

We are pleased to announce that we have signed a memorandum of understanding with Life & Living International Limited, a provider of comprehensive supply chain solutions for product development, for the adoption of our S-Carbon Comprehensive Digital Carbon Management Platform. This partnership underscores Life & Living's commitment to carbon reduction practices and aims to inspire its partners to focus on low-carbon development through tangible actions.

Life & Living recognizes that promoting sustainability begins with internal management. Although it does not own factories, the company is focused on quantifying and managing office carbon emissions, hoping to positively influence its partners through concrete actions.

Over the next five years, Life & Living plans to use the SGS S-Carbon platform to establish a robust data foundation for Scope 1 (direct emissions) and Scope 2 (energy indirect emissions), with aspirations to extend its efforts to Scope 3 (other indirect emissions). S-Carbon’s capabilities in carbon footprint measurement, data analysis and report generation will provide objective data to support the company’s low-carbon management goals.

James Sun, President of Life & Living, said: “We aim to enhance transparency and credibility in carbon emissions data through collaboration with an independent third-party company. This is not just an internal decarbonization movement; it is a long-term commitment to our supply chain and customers. We believe that even a single effort can drive change in the industry. By starting with ourselves and creating a low carbon office environment, we aim to spread this positive influence throughout the supply chain and beyond. “

Miranda Kwan, Director of Business Assurance for SGS in Hong Kong, said “Partnering with Life & Living on the SGS S-Carbon Comprehensive Digital Carbon Management Platform exemplifies our commitment to enabling organizations to achieve their low-carbon transformation goals. By providing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions quantification and data transparency, we empower companies to make responsive decisions and drive meaningful change in their environmental practices.”
