Inside the Whitepaper, you'll discover your roadmap to decarbonisation, including: 
- Understanding emissions data collection 
- Mastering carbon footprint measurement 
- Excelling at sustainability reporting 
- Setting actionable reduction targets
- Identifying and implementing decarbonisation pathways

Let's discuss carbon data collection.

The first step in your journey toward decarbonisation is collecting emissions data. This phase is more critical than you might realise, and here's why:

Accurate Carbon Footprint Assessment: To accurately understand your environmental impact, you need data that's precise, transparent, and consistent. Quality data is fundamental for navigating the path toward sustainability.

Identification of Emissions Hotspots: Thorough and regular emissions data collection can reveal significant areas of concern. Addressing these hotspots is crucial for substantial sustainability improvements.

Understanding Scope 1, 2, and 3 Emissions: Emissions aren't uniform. Comprehensive data collection allows you to categorise your emissions into Scope 1, 2, and 3, enabling you to tailor strategies and goals accordingly.

However, the process of collecting emissions data can be cumbersome, particularly when it involves coordinating information from various departments and stakeholders. That's where our solution comes in. Our Plan A Sustainability Platform simplifies this process.

We provide:
Automated Data Collection: Say goodbye to manual data entry. Our bulk upload capabilities and templates ensure you have the necessary data to kickstart your journey.
Central Data Source: Keep your carbon accounting data in one central location, avoiding data fragmentation across departments.
Data Consolidation: No more dealing with stacks of paperwork. Access and search your sustainability data in a digital, easily digestible format.

Recently we had the privilege of collaborating with Glovo to host their first IMPACATHON – an event that exemplifies the incredible power of technology for social good.

Neil Delaney, CRO at Plan A, shared some invaluable insights during this remarkable event. We extend our sincere appreciation to the Glovo team for their steadfast commitment to driving impact through their app.

Here are Neil's three takeaways:

Sustainability Education: It's truly inspiring to witness how sustainability teams, like the one at Glovo, recognise the immense value in educating their broader organisation on their sustainability journey. When individuals across the company understand the goals and motivations behind sustainability initiatives, it fosters a culture of shared purpose and responsibility.

Climate Risk Awareness: The IMPACATHON also brought to light the eye-opening realisation of the level of financial risk, the breadth of legislation, and the broader impact that climate risk can have on companies. It is imperative for businesses to not only adapt to the challenges posed by climate change but also to proactively work towards mitigating these risks.

Unified Effort for Impact: As we've seen, sustainability is not the sole responsibility of a specific department within a company. It requires a unified effort across the organisation. In tech companies like Glovo, individuals in product development, engineering, and sourcing/procurement all play pivotal roles in making a difference. They can directly influence customer behaviour, enabling more sustainable choices and, ultimately, driving positive social impact.

The IMPACATHON showcased the huge potential of technology as a force for good, emphasising the importance of integrating sustainability into core business practices.

Ever felt overwhelmed by the jargon, terms, and abbreviations related to carbon and ESG management? You're not alone! With the growing importance of sustainability in the corporate world, it's crucial we're all on the same page. So, here's a quick breakdown from Plan A:

Carbon management:
- Carbon footprint: Total amount of carbon dioxide released into the atmosphere due to the activities of an individual, project, organisation, or nation-state.
- Net-zero: Net-zero means cutting greenhouse gas emissions to as close to zero as possible, with any remaining emissions re-absorbed from the atmosphere by oceans and forests, for instance. 
- Carbon compensation: Compensation, also known as (carbon) offsetting, is the voluntary or mandatory purchase of carbon credits to balance the emissions caused by an entity. The price for a carbon credit used for compensation is the benchmark when comparing an investment for direct internal reductions.

ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) management:
- Environmental: Includes company policies around climate change, such as their decarbonisation action, natural resources, pollution and waste, and other factors.
- Social: Includes human rights, labour standards across the supply chain, integration into local communities, and other social dimensions.
- Governance: Includes business ethics, compliance, accurate accounting methods, salaries, structure for shareholders, and whether or not a company pursues integrity and diversity when selecting its leadership.

Other essential terms:
- Greenwashing: Deceptively marketing products, services, or policies as environmentally friendly.
- CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility): A business model that ensures companies operate ethically, considering social, economic, and environmental impacts.
