Why Carbon Accounting Matters

Without accurate carbon data, you risk underreporting emissions, missing reduction targets, and losing credibility with customers and regulators.

Inaccurate Data = Costly Decisions

‍

Relying on estimates or spend-based proxies can mask your real emissions. Without precise data, you can’t target reductions effectively—and that wastes time and money.

Compliance Slips Through the Cracks

‍

Carbon regulations are evolving fast. A fragmented approach risks missed deadlines, incorrect filings, or non-compliance with frameworks like SECR, PPN 06/21, or CSRD.

“Green” Claims Without Proof

‍

Stakeholders expect transparency. If you can’t back up your climate targets with verifiable data, you risk greenwashing accusations and losing trust with customers and investors.

🚧 The 3 Biggest Barriers to Effective Carbon Accounting

What’s stopping businesses from truly understanding—and reducing—their emissions? These are the most common obstacles we help organisations overcome.

Disconnected Systems

‍

Your carbon data is scattered across invoices, spreadsheets, and supplier portals. Without integration and automation, tracking emissions becomes a manual slog riddled with gaps.

No Reliable Baseline

‍

You can’t reduce what you haven’t measured. Without an accurate, activity-based footprint, it’s impossible to set credible targets or track progress with confidence.

Lack of Operational Clarity

‍

Even with data, most teams struggle to turn insights into action. You need clear dashboards, reduction levers, and workflow support—otherwise carbon accounting stays stuck in reporting mode.
