The climate imperative

Acknowledging the urgency of climate change, our client committed to reducing their own environmental impact. They had initiated data collection on Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions in 2021 but needed a more streamlined and reliable platform to support their reduction efforts.

Centralizing emissions data

Minimum served as the single system of record for GHG emissions, consolidating data from multiple stakeholders and sources. This enabled our client to identify data gaps and adapt their data collection process as their business continues to grow. The modular nature of Minimum's solution was easily mapped to our client's operational structure.

Accurate carbon calculations

Minimum's carbon accounting software automates the calculation of our client's carbon emissions across their entire operations. This includes adjustments for changes in local emission factors and units of measure. A comprehensive Scope 1 and 2 footprint is readily available on the platform for the senior leadership team, which meets periodically to review and monitor environmental aspects of their operations.

Forming sustainable habits

A robust and transparent GHG Emission platform was essential for our client to meet their new ESG goals. They are working towards achieving ISO 14001 certification and needed a systematic method for environmental management. Using Minimum, they have been able to assess the direct impact of several energy-saving projects, such as increasing electric vehicle chargers, upgrading to data-gathering smart chargers, and optimizing thermostat controls.
