Cutting carbon emissions upstream and downstream

Clara Grandry is completing an internship at Tetra Pak. Alain Herzog/EPFL - Summer series - Master's project (1). EPFL student Clara Grandry is completing an internship at Tetra Pak - the world's leading supplier of food-packaging products and processes - for her Master's project. She's working in the supply-chain department to help reduce the indirect carbon emissions associated with the company's suppliers. Very few life sciences graduates go on to obtain a Master's degree in a topic like supply-chain management. But that's the unconventional path chosen by Clara Grandry, and it's the result of her curious nature, her keen interest in environmental issues, the wide range of options available at EPFL, and a particular set of circumstances. She enrolled in the Master's program at EPFL's College of Management of Technology, and her studies are now culminating in a project on a pressing and increasingly trendy issue: how to cut an organization's indirect greenhouse gas emissions.
