Decarbonization is the route to achieving ESG goals and Net Zero and this is achieved by understanding the carbon cost of running your workplace operations, critical business infrastructure elements such as IT and the cost of doing business with all of your suppliers. Therefore the journey starts with the elements you can control, the reporting you can deliver about your organization, then gathering actionable data about emissions categories before expanding out to your suppliers to build a comprehensive Decarbonization Roadmap.
