While carbon accounting is growing in popularity there are some things that you need to think about when selecting carbon accounting software.
Carbon accounting is about more than just the environment or counting units, it’s about building a more sustainable business. Carbon accounting is also about a smarter way of doing business. Whether it’s lifting brand value, reducing costs or improving compliance, there’s never been a better time to start thinking about measuring your carbon footprint.
According to Foundation Footprint, a provider of carbon accounting software, here are some question that you should ask when thinking about:
1. Getting the best picture possible – Will it give you a true picture of your resource use and carbon footprint, and the implications for your business?
2. Improving efficiency – Can it automate, integrate and simplify? Does it bring transparency and auditability to your reporting process?
3. Insight vs reporting – Does it turn data into information to support decision making and boost your bottom line?
If you’re new to carbon accounting or struggling with Excel, knowing where to start can be bewildering. To help demystify some of the issues, Foundation Footprint has put together a Buyers Guide to Carbon Accounting.
