How do you calculate my company’s carbon emissions? A great question, and one we’re asked a lot!

How do you calculate my company’s carbon emissions? A great question, and one we’re asked a lot!

There are only five stages, ending with your full calculation so you can set target, liaise with suppliers, and – at last resort – offset.

Stage 1

The simplest one – you upload your data.

Stage 2

We’ll cross check and clean the data to identify which specific company you’ve uploaded for each record. For example, you may have written Coke, Cocacola, or CocaCola Enterprises.

Stage 3

If we don’t already know the company, we’ll attempt to match it to one of our categories – provided we can do so with a high degree of confidence. (AI isn’t perfect all the time – despite what the movies might make you think)

We’ll apply the calculations, and if the system isn’t sure we’ll flag it for manual verification.

Stage 4

Now we know the company, we can check if we already have it in our database.

If we do, we apply the appropriate calculations based on either a batch of similar companies or if we have specific numbers based on those.

Stage 5

Now we know all your emissions and can generate the appropriate advice, as well as be ready to perform any supplier communications you may want to do.
