Impact Tracking Landscape
The impact tracking landscape encompasses a wide range of tools and organisations aimed at measuring environmental sustainability. This document provides an in-depth analysis of various automated and semi-automated platforms that enable companies to track their carbon footprint, comply with regulatory frameworks, and improve sustainability strategies.
Introduction & Key Terms
Impact tracking is a crucial component of corporate sustainability efforts, enabling organizations to collect and analyse data on their environmental performance. As regulations, like the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), set clear disclosure requirements, companies need robust tracking tools to gather relevant data and align their reporting with these frameworks.
Key aspects of impact tracking landscape include:
- Company vs. Product Footprint: Evaluating cumulative environmental impacts at both corporate and product levels.
- Standardised Methodologies: Frameworks such as the Greenhouse Gas Protocol, ISO 14064, and Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) ensure accurate reporting.
- Legislation Compliance: Regulations like the EU Emissions Trading System (EU ETS) and the UK Companies Act dictate sustainability disclosures.
Automated Platforms: Technologies leveraging AI and data integration facilitate seamless environmental footprint calculations.
