Case Study: Barbeques Galore achieves emissions transparency and decarbonisation insights with Terrascope

Barbeques Galore Cooking up deep changes in retail through emissions transparency

Barbeques Galore, a leading Australian retailer of barbecues and backyard products, sought to establish a comprehensive emissions baseline and identify reduction opportunities across its value chain. The company partnered with Terrascope and used its Corporate Carbon Footprinting (CCF) product to move beyond annual snapshots and gain dynamic, actionable insights into its Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions.

Terrascope's solution revealed that 99% of the retailer's footprint was from Scope 3 emissions, with product usage and purchased goods being the largest contributors. This analysis provided Barbeques Galore with granular data, enabling them to quantify the impact of initiatives like packaging changes and identify new strategies. For example, Terrascope helped them discover that a 10% shift in sales from gas to pellet grills could reduce usage emissions by 10%, and that switching from styrofoam to recycled cardboard could cut packaging emissions by up to 61%.
