This is how the system works. AI in green; people, always in the loop.

02RuleEmission factorsBy activity typeEach data point is matched to its emission factor and its scope.
03SystemCalculationScopes 1, 2 and 3The system recalculates each scope whenever new data comes in.
04SystemEmissions dashboardAlways currentThe dashboard shows emissions by scope, site and period.

What we work with

Read the full story+

01 / Starting point
The carbon footprint was calculated by hand: gather data from several sources, apply emission factors and build the report. A slow process repeated every time.
02 / What we did
We connected each scope's data sources via API and built a dashboard that calculates the result automatically.
03 / Result
The company has its footprint by scope always up to date, and the time spent calculating now goes into deciding how to cut it.
