Achieving Sustainability: A Guide to Implementing Strategies with the Right Partners
To comprehensively optimize the sustainability of your processes and achieve the ambitious goal of Net-Zero, five essential steps are required. These steps form the foundation for a structured and effective reduction of your CO₂ emissions across the entire value chain.
Step 1: Capture data
Step 2: Calculate
Step 3: Report
Step 4: Set goals
Step 5: Reduce & Improve
Step 1: Capture data
Gain a clear overview of your company’s emissions by consolidating all relevant data on a secure platform. Collecting emissions data for accounting and sustainability reporting is the first critical step. This requires close coordination and data sharing across departments as well as with stakeholders at both national and international levels. Key information includes employee commuting data, building energy consumption, raw materials used (including their origin), and waste.
The CO2 Manager consolidates this data into a customizable dashboard. The software enables easy uploading and structured visualization of large data sets, allowing you to seamlessly and accurately transfer your emissions data into an emissions report.
With the CO2 Manager, you can transparently and plausibly map emissions along your entire value chain. This provides you with a precise evaluation of your emissions, helps identify emissions hotspots, and gives you deeper insights into your emissions sources — empowering you to develop sustainable strategies and implement action plans effectively. Additionally, your data is securely documented, fostering trust with stakeholders and other interested parties.
Step 2: Calculate
Create your emissions balance and visualize the results in engaging dashboards. Obtain detailed analyses and make informed decisions based on this information.
The calculation of your company’s emissions is carried out by capturing all relevant emission sources. This step is crucial for establishing the baseline against which you can compare your reduction efforts.
