MSF OCP's Roadmap - Climate Action Accelerator

The scientific consensus is now established: global warming causes the frequency and the severity of extreme meteorological events to grow. Hence, we can no longer ignore the environmental and climate emergency in which we, and the rest of humanity, find ourselves. MSF OCP Roadmap

OCP’s footprint reduction strategy

To reduce its footprint, MSF OCP, with CAA support, has identified 33 solutions specific to its activities. They cover all key areas of our operations: waste management, local ecosystems, travel, freight, energy, buildings, medical practices, fundraising, procurement of goods and services, digital and transversal practices.

Solutions with the greatest reduction in local degradation

Avoid and reduce waste

Increase local and regional recycling

Ensure that all steps of waste management are followed in the best possible way

Limit soil, water, and air pollution

Preserve water resources

Prevent and reduce damage to the local environment

Reduce the overconsumption or the unjustified use of medical items

Choose items, services and suppliers with a lower environmental footprint

Solutions with the greatest impact on carbon

Reduce work-related air travel

Optimise the size, composition, and movements of the vehicle fleet

Increase the percentage of sea and road freight via better planning

Increase the percentage of sea and road freight via better planning for medical orders

Favor sustainable constructions

Reduce the energy consumption of buildings

Reduce energy consumption and improve the energy efficiency of electric installations

Decarbonise electricity and energy production

Choose items, services and suppliers with a lower environmental footprint

Decarbonisation trajectory

In a scenario in which neither MSF OCP nor our suppliers nor anyone take any action, our emissions would continue to increase over the next decade in proportion to the growth in our activities: this is the “no action scenario” curve in the graph below.

In a scenario where only MSF OCP does not take any specific action to reduce its footprint, our emissions would remain quite similar to what they are today: this is the “no MSF OCP action scenario” dotted curve. Reducing our emissions by half thus means significantly “decoupling” the change in emissions from the organisation’s growth.
