Sustainability

Sustainability Reporting Built on Data You Can Defend

We make each figure traceable to its source and method, connect the data to your operations, and leave you with a system that makes each year's report easier than the last.

Our Point of View

A sustainability claim is as strong as the number behind it, so we treat reporting as a data problem first. Clear, traceable figures then make the communication straightforward.

The Situation

Customers, investors and regulators increasingly ask for sustainability figures, and in most companies the underlying data sits in utility bills, supplier emails and spreadsheets. Reports take months to compile, and last year's calculations can be hard to retrace. Reliable figures make commitments credible and show which actions would make a real difference.

Our Approach

We begin with the data. Every figure links to its source and its method, so that a question about it has an answer. The same records then show which plant, route or supplier deserves attention first, which makes the work operational as well as compliant. Because it is a system, the second year is far easier than the first.

What We Deliver

From First Measurement to a Plan With Owners

  • Strategy and Materiality

    An assessment of which issues matter for your business, your customers and your regulators.

  • Emissions Measurement

    A traceable carbon inventory, built from your energy, travel and supplier data.

  • ESG Data and Reporting

    Figures held in one system with clear sources, so that reports such as BRSR are easier to produce.

  • Supply Chain Visibility

    Supplier data collected in a consistent way, showing where your largest impacts sit.

  • Energy and Resource Efficiency

    Operational data used to identify savings in energy, water, waste and materials.

  • Sustainable Technology

    Reduction of the footprint of your own cloud, data centres and devices.

How We Engage

Your System of Record in Four Weeks

The system of record is set up on your own energy, travel and supplier data within four weeks. A first traceable footprint is planned at eight, because supplier data is often incomplete or late and each method must be written down.

Your Energy and Travel Data

We gather your energy and travel data and establish where each figure comes from.

Expected Outcomes

What Leadership Should Expect to See

  • Figures That Can Be Followed Back to Source

    Auditors and customers can follow each reported number to its source and method, so that every question about it has an answer.

  • Reporting That Grows Easier Each Year

    One system of record replaces months of chasing spreadsheets, so that each year's report builds on the last.

  • Reductions Tied to Operations

    A reduction plan with costs, owners and dates links targets to specific plants, routes and suppliers, so that commitments can be acted upon.

Industries

Where This Work Applies

  • Energy, water, waste and materials data show which plant or process deserves attention first, lowering footprint and operating cost together.

  • Energy and fuel are usually the largest and simplest sources, so a first traceable inventory starts here and gives regulators and investors figures they can check.

  • Much of the footprint sits with suppliers, so supplier data is collected consistently to show where the largest impacts lie across products and routes.

Perspectives on Sustainability Data

Frequently Asked

Questions From Prospective Clients

We Have Not Measured Any Emissions Yet. Where Do We Begin?
With your largest and simplest sources, which are usually energy and fuel. A first footprint with clear assumptions gives you a useful starting point, and it improves each year. We record the source and method behind every figure, so there is an answer when someone asks how it was calculated. The last request a customer or regulator sent you is a sensible place to start.
Will the Data Behind Our Report Also Show Where Energy and Materials Are Being Wasted?
Yes. The data that informs a report also shows where energy, materials and money are being wasted, and which plant, route or supplier deserves attention first. We therefore connect the figures to your operations and deliver a reduction plan with costs, owners and dates, so that the work leads to change as well as to a report.
How Do You Treat Incomplete Supplier Data in Our First Footprint?
As a normal starting condition. Supplier data is often incomplete, late or inconsistent, so we collect it in a consistent way and write down the assumptions used wherever a figure is estimated. Your auditors and customers can then see what is measured and what is assumed, and the picture improves each year as collection matures.
Can Our Auditors Follow a Reported Figure Back to Its Source?
Yes. Each number links to its source and its method, which are written down in the carbon inventory, so that when someone asks how it was calculated there is an answer. The report is designed so that auditors and customers can follow it back to source, and each year's calculations remain easy to check.
Will This Make Our BRSR Report Easier to Produce?
Yes. Figures are brought into one system with clear sources, so reports such as BRSR are easier to produce than when the data sits in utility bills, supplier emails and spreadsheets. We begin with a review of what you must report and to whom, so that the data collected reflects your actual obligations. Each figure then carries its source and method when the report is assembled.
Will Next Year's Footprint Mean Repeating the Same Exercise?
The second year is far easier than the first. A system of record keeps the sources and methods already written down, so each year builds on the last, and assumptions in the first footprint can be improved each year as better data arrives.
What Is in Place at Week Four, and What Does Week Eight Add?
The system of record is in use at week four, and the first traceable footprint is planned at week eight. The additional time exists because supplier data is often incomplete or late, and because each method must be written down. Gaps in the data are therefore visible well before the footprint is complete, so they can be addressed in good time.
