Frequently Asked Questions

Effective sustainability work reduces waste and enhances efficiency. It builds stakeholder trust and delivers measurable long-term value.

Common challenges include fragmented systems, inconsistent reporting standards, and difficulty aligning data with evolving regulations.

Scope 3 measurement depends on external data from suppliers and logistics. Companies often start with estimates and improve accuracy as better information becomes available.

Real-time data makes planning smarter. Companies can understand how each action affects emissions budgets and timelines before committing to changes.

Net-zero means reducing emissions as much as possible and balancing any remaining emissions with removals or offsets.

Dashboards show changes in emissions, energy use, and supplier performance in real time. Teams can act on insights immediately instead of waiting for annual reports.

Keeping requests simple and structured helps suppliers share accurate data faster. KarbonWise supports this with guided forms and automated workflows that make participation easy and traceable.

Benchmarking displays results side by side. This highlights where emissions are rising, where data is missing, and where efficiency is improving.

Without a baseline, progress cannot be measured. A baseline ensures future reductions are credible and aligned with recognised frameworks.

Climate risk assessments analyse both physical and transition risks across sites, suppliers, and operations. This includes mapping hazard exposure, quantifying financial impacts, and identifying mitigation measures.

Climate and nature are closely linked. Actions that reduce emissions often support ecosystem health. Protecting biodiversity strengthens resilience to climate-related disruptions.

Conduct readiness assessments before reporting cycles or regulatory deadlines. Early checks reduce compliance risk.

Reduction planning begins by analysing where emissions are concentrated. Possible pathways include technology upgrades, material shifts, or process optimisation.

Training sessions typically include carbon literacy, ESG reporting, data collection, supplier engagement, and sustainability in decision-making.

Effective reporting builds trust and strengthens reputation. It also increases investment opportunities by showing that sustainability performance is managed with discipline.
