Turn climate data into business value

Use your carbon data to understand risks, spot opportunities, and build a clearer business case.

Illustrative examples. Figures are hypothetical, and benefits depend on your circumstances.

Three steps to a stronger business case

1. Understand what is at risk

Operating costs

Carbon pricing, resource constraints, and supply disruption can affect your costs.

Measuring emissions helps you understand which activities, materials, and suppliers contribute most to your footprint. This gives you a starting point for investigating energy use, resource efficiency, and related costs.

Compliance

Reporting and carbon border requirements may create obligations and additional costs.

Read more

Reliable emissions data help you prepare for reporting requirements and respond to carbon-related information requests. Measuring now also helps you identify gaps and organize the information your business needs.


Assets

Equipment reliant on fossil fuels may lose value or require earlier replacement.

Access to finance

Climate exposure may influence lenders’ and investors’ decisions.

Emissions data help you explain your climate exposure and demonstrate progress to lenders and investors. They also provide a foundation for presenting investment plans and discussing financing needs.

2. Identify where your business could gain

Reduce costs

Find opportunities to use materials and energy more efficiently.

Read more

Measuring emissions can highlight energy-intensive activities and inefficient use of materials. These insights help you identify where operational improvements could reduce both emissions and costs.

Compete for contracts

Use verified emissions information to respond to customer requirements.

Read more

Customers increasingly ask suppliers for emissions information. Measuring your footprint helps you answer these requests, demonstrate improvements, and strengthen your offer.


Develop your offer

Explore products or processes that meet changing customer needs.

Explore financing

Check suitable financing, grants, and incentives for eligible investments.

Emissions measurements help establish a baseline and show what a proposed investment could achieve. This evidence can support applications for financing, grants, and incentives for lower-carbon projects.

3. Connect the data to a business decision

Show the evidence, the risk you could reduce, and the opportunity you could pursue.

Example 1: Changing a supplier

THE DATA

Vendor B lowers the product’s carbon intensity by 15%.

THE RISK REDUCED 

Potentially reduce carbon-related import costs where the rules apply.

THE OPPORTUNITY

A projected 3% reduction in the cost of goods sold.

THE BUSINESS CASE

Strengthen a bid for a $5 million contract.

Illustrative figures. Validate the emissions reductions, cost savings, and customer requirements to build a strong business case.

Example 2: Improving a product

THE DATA

A modification avoids 500 metric tons of CO₂e.

THE RISK REDUCED 

Help meet the client’s emissions requirements.

THE OPPORTUNITY

Give your team a verified improvement to present.

THE BUSINESS CASE

Strengthen the product’s appeal to customers who value lower emissions.

Illustrative reduction. Validate the avoided emissions and customer demand to build a compelling business case.

Start with one data point

1. Choose one carbon data point from your business.

2. Ask which risk or cost it helps you understand.

3. Identify one potential commercial or efficiency opportunity.

4. Check the evidence, costs, and assumptions behind the business case.
