Using out Platform
To ensure data accuracy and consistency, our carbon accounting platform simplifies data logging by automating the collection of emissions data from various sources, such as energy consumption records, transportation logs, and production processes. This automation reduces the risk of human error and ensures consistent and accurate data collection.
Our platform uses intelligent algorithms to select the most appropriate emission factors for each data point, minimising subjectivity and ensuring calculations are based on the most accurate and relevant factors available. Emission factors are regularly updated to reflect the latest scientific research and regulatory requirements, ensuring data accuracy and compliance with current standards.
Best Practices
