Optimising ESG Management and Cutting Costs: Prolians Metalco’s Journey with Dcycle.

When Prolians Metalco began working with Dcycle, its objectives were clear:

• Measure all three emission scopes and register the carbon footprint with MITECO by September 2024.
• Optimise emissions reporting for key customers.

The main challenges included:

• Complex reference management – Thousands of products from different suppliers made emissions traceability a challenge.
• Dispersed data – Information from 70 vehicles, 18 electricity supplies, and multiple emission sources was not centralised.
• Preparation for verification – It was necessary to organise and structure Scope 3 data to obtain full verification of the carbon footprint.

Prolians Metalco replaced spreadsheets with a centralised platform, enabling structured emissions data collection across all categories and improving data accuracy. Now, the company can generate customised reports for customers on the emissions linked to their purchases, ensuring greater transparency and compliance with ESG requirements.

Additionally, thanks to its transition to 100% certified renewable energy and optimisation of its energy consumption, Prolians Metalco has achieved a 28% reduction in energy costs, with fixed prices guaranteed for two years and no contract lock-in. This has been achieved with the ongoing support of Dcycle, including guidance on MITECO registration and verification processes.

• Carbon footprint calculated and verified in record time – Prolians Metalco gathered and structured all necessary data within weeks.
• "Reduzco" seal awarded – Transition to renewable energy significantly reduced Scope 2 emissions.
• 28% reduction in energy costs – No contract lock-in and certified renewable energy.
• Greater accuracy in reports – The latest report includes more detailed and granular data.
• Optimised audit processes – The company now has structured data to streamline future audits.

Every tool needs people to make it work. At Prolians Metalco, this team has been crucial in managing data collection and securing carbon footprint verification:

• Xavier Ayala, Director of Operations – Supervising the integration of carbon footprint measurement into operational processes.
• Susana Muñoz, Head of Environmental Management – Coordinating the collection and structuring of data for calculation.
• José Luis López, Internal Consultant – Supporting data collection and audit preparation.

Together, they have led the data collection and verification process, ensuring that Prolians Metalco's carbon footprint is not only calculated but also verified and aligned with market requirements.
