Gaining visibility of your carbon emissions at pace
While a majority of large organizations have set a Scope 3 emission reduction target, many teams struggle to take that first step toward gaining emissions visibility. Those who take that first step often spend on software subscriptions before being aware of the requirements or fail to reconcile emissions reporting categories with procurement spend categories to create an actionable plan. Emissions Visibility from Proxima is a low-cost, fast initial view of your organization’s emissions across Scope 1, 2, and 3 to set you up on your decarbonization journey.
“The main challenge of tackling Scope 3 is data, collecting, collating it and maintaining it. Proxima’s emission visibility service enables organizations to kick start their Scope 3 journey.”
Waiting for perfect data means waiting a long time
The data that sits behind decarbonization can confuse. Business leaders want to get to granular measurable data, but such is the nature of emissions that is not possible in the first instance. This data challenge must be solved in short steps, the first of which is often applying a spend-based method using ‘emissions factors’ as a proxy for actual emissions. This relies on having clean data mapped to emissions factors and a view of what reporting is valuable. Proxima’s emissions visibility service gives you this out of the box;
- Categorization engine to cleanse data and create a procurement and GHG protocol lens
- Emissions factor mapping to quickly estimate emissions by supplier/ spend area
- Reporting out of the box and “what this means” consultation.
How do you produce your ‘carbon cube’
With our dedicated procurement analytics team, we have built the capability to handle many data sets every year. Our team will outline what data we require and facilitate its collection; we will then cleanse, categorize, and apply emissions factors. This will produce a ‘cube’ that can be viewed through the lens of spend or emissions and toggled between procurement category views and GHG Protocol category views. The accompanying visuals give insights into emissions and hotspots at a supplier and subcategory level.
- Fast analysis, taking you from data to dashboard in days
- Consultation to walk through hotspots and potential cost exposures
- Can be supplemented by The Scope 3 Maturity Benchmark and specialist advisory support.
