A more sustainable future

Plan your journey to Net Zero

A more sustainable future

Learning from experience

If you are currently measuring carbon emissions in a seamless way and focussing your energy on increasing sustainability then well done! We hope you’ll find some food for thought here and thank you for your attention. If you are instead living in a mound of complex spreadsheets and an audit is taking months (with no time to spend on action plans to reduce carbon emissions) then we have news of a better way. At BrightGen, we decided to investigate getting to Net Zero using Salesforce. Our view is that costs of investment will be offset by savings on admin. Also, there is that immediate gain of being able to better manage your carbon emissions because you can visually see where you are at – whenever you want.

We want to measure our carbon emissions, quickly and easily. Then reduce them.

Anna Bedford, Account Director at BrightGen

Common goals we often hear... We want to:

Focus our energy on reducing carbon, not on counting it
Leave spreadsheets behind and have energy use automatically converted into carbon usage units
See our carbon cost in the here and now on a dashboard pulling live data
Gain critical insights about the energy our business is burning – so we can question the status quo and take action
View the impact of our carbon reduction action plans
Set milestones to manage performance against our targets
Collaborate on the platform – for audit trail and speed
Save more money by taking action than we are spending on the solution

Quickly move to a new world with an
at-your-fingertips carbon calculator

Milestones on your journey

After four weeks of setting up your system for Scopes 1 & 2 + business travel, you will be able to:

Visually see when energy use is unusually high
Comply with global reporting standards
Collaborate across the organisation (out of the box with Chatter messaging)
Measure all your carbon footprints

Unlock these new possibilities:

Automatically compare the meter readings with your bills – get a notification of anything outside a variance you specify
Enable suppliers / third parties to add data and communicate on that data via a portal
Integrate Marketing Cloud to use campaigns to drive action internally and externally with broadcast messaging based on audience segments

There are other options out there to help automate the process and store data in the cloud. We implement Salesforce. We hope that by sharing our learning, it will help you to weigh up your options.
