Simplify Your GHG Reporting Through Digitisation
Completing your GHG reporting manually, through pen and paper or Excel spreadsheets, can be extremely time consuming and prone to human error. Consider all the different calculations, conversions, and more that need to take place across not just one location, but any other sites your organisation may have around the word.
Is there anything you can you do to simplify your GHG reporting? Thankfully, yes!
It’s time for you to consider a digital solution to help streamline your processes and alleviate the administrative burden that comes with completing carbon reporting.
A software solution will help you digitise and centralise all your emissions data in one place, made easily accessible to key stakeholders. This makes it simple to find whatever you’re looking for in a few clicks and send the necessary information to others in the organisation.
You also don’t have to worry about which compliance standard you need to follow in your region, as a sustainability software can help make sure you comply with a framework relevant to your business and location. Forget trying to navigate multiple sources and regulatory bodies to find out which one applies to your organisation. A software solution will automatically do it for you!
A built-in emissions factor database is also included in certain software solutions, which usually has thousands of the most up-to-date emissions factors. Simply add in your data and let the system conduct your conversions and calculations for you in seconds, using an extensive library of emissions factors and global warming potentials. No need to worry about human error or making silly mistakes when conducting your emissions calculations ever again! This system takes care of this aspect and generates reports where you can easily spot trends and track your progress. These results can then be filtered by site, location, or specific greenhouse gases to get a more granular view which you can then share with your investors.
Having a software solution in place also makes it simple to grant external auditors access to your reports. It provides complete transparency, as all the calculations and conversions are made clear within the software. Certain software organisations even offer the help of a sustainability analyst who can guide you along your sustainability journey. They will help you navigate the GHG reporting process by sharing their best practices and by making sure all your data is correct.
