Consultants and tools providers
Help your clients to achieve unmatched progress!
The carbon accounting and reporting enters an entirely new era. It ends being a thing of eco-enthusiasts and becomes a serious business matter. There is a clear gap between the expectations of the policymakers and other users of carbon reports on one hand, and possibilities of organisations and experts on the other. Limited access to primary data, especially from the supply chain, new processes and tools – all of that creates challenges that will require a lot of work, and probably more than a few reporting periods.
How to navigate this journey? Our platform provides several helpful tools which will set you and your clients apart from the competition in terms of quality of carbon data, efficiency, and clear vision.
Help your clients to set goals and navigate
For the time being – and foreseeable future – important part of the carbon mapping exercises is setting thresholds, deciding what can be efficiently included and what will be left out. There are conflicting interests – carbon reports users will want complete picture, reporting organisations need to optimise the efforts. The more is included in the report, the higher the resulting carbon footprint. How can we together balance the data quality, efforts, and expectations of the level playing field?
Our answer is a set of easy-to-use indexes, which quantify important aspects of the carbon reports:
- Completeness – what part of the supply chain inputs was included
- Primary vs. secondary data usage
These indexes not only explain possible differences between reports of different organisations, but also provide useful tool for planning and verifying progress of the carbon mapping efforts.

Streamline the data flow along the chain
Moreover, the platform serves as a hub for connection between companies and organisations in the supply chain. Methodology- and tools-agnostic, it provides one-stop-shop for primary emission factors calculated directly by the organisations. They bear information not only about the carbon footprint, but also the above-mentioned indexes. That way every user knows exactly how to treat given piece of information. By using the same platform by organisations in chain, the result is the most possibly complete carbon footprint calculation of any product – based on primary data and with unmatched characteristics of the data quality.
Minimal additional effort, substantial difference
The platform is designed to extend the common practices, methodologies and tools in seamless way, with minimal additional effort. It is fully compatible with any approach to the carbon mapping processes. At the end of the day, the result will be less of tedious, manual work related to ad hoc collection of the data, deciding on best sources of secondary data and communication on expectations between the carbon reports users and providers.
