The hidden challenges of managing your Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions
Effectively managing climate impact is essential for any organisation striving for sustainability. A key aspect is managing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, which begins with calculating an organisation's carbon footprint.
However, this process can be challenging for many reasons:
-
Comprehensive data collection process with many data owners
-
Identifying the correct emission factors
-
Accessing multiple emission factor databases
-
Ensuring compliance and auditability
-
And, most importantly, the frequent reliance on Excel spreadsheets
Today, most carbon accounting work still happens in Excel spreadsheets. While Excel is a familiar tool, it quickly becomes cumbersome for carbon accounting. Complex formulas, interlinked sheets, and the need for high traceability make managing a carbon footprint in Excel prone to errors and inefficiencies.
Additionally, the annual calculation of a carbon footprint brings the added challenge of updating emission factors from multiple sources - a time-consuming and manual process. To overcome these hurdles and avoid manual rework or calculation errors, Möbius sought a software partner. After extensive research and comparison, we selected Carbon+Alt+Delete as our trusted carbon accounting software.
