Challenges
The company aims to reduce its Greenhouse Gas Emissions improving the livelihoods of local communities and preserving biodiversity and wildlife. There is a need to track information about company's emissions, organize and classify it, store and make forecasts for the future. This requires a single source of truth about the company's energy consumption and a clear audit-ready emissions database. There should also be a user-friendly analytics system for creating clear and visual reports.
Solutions
The Vimera team implemented Salesforce Net Zero Cloud with CRM Analytics and Advanced Forecasting to help the company develop a climate action plan.
We categorized emissions in accordance with the Greenhouse Gas Protocol, which establishes three scopes of emissions depending on the control emitters have over those emissions, to help the company better understand the sources of emissions and the greatest opportunities to reduce them.
