The challenge
The board had committed to net zero by 2030, but the company had no reliable figure for its current emissions and no plan to reduce them. Energy data came from monthly utility bills.
Customers and lenders were starting to ask for verified emissions data.
Our approach
Set the baseline
We measured Scope 1 and 2 emissions and estimated key Scope 3 sources.
Meter energy use
Sub-meters on major equipment show where energy is used and wasted.
Prioritise reductions
Opportunities were ranked by emissions saved and cost, from efficiency to renewable supply.
Track progress
A carbon platform reports progress against the target every month.
The solution
The company now knows its emissions, where they come from, and which actions reduce them most. Energy waste is spotted from live data instead of month-old bills.
Progress against the net-zero target is reported with data customers and lenders can trust.
