Deborah Fairbrother: How CarbonInvoice simplified carbon management and delivered client reports instantly
Customer StoriesDeborah Fairbrother's business had been measuring and managing their carbon impact since January 2023, but they needed a solution that could handle both ongoing monitoring and sudden client requests for emissions data. In the past, pulling together their carbon footprint information for client reports had been time-consuming and complicated.
The sustainability landscape is changing rapidly. More clients were asking detailed questions about their environmental practices and requesting reports on carbon emissions associated with their footprint. Deborah's team needed to be ready for these requests without scrambling to gather data from multiple sources at any point in time.
They had tried multiple carbon accounting approaches, but none of them could provide a combination of ongoing monitoring and instant reporting. When client requests came in, there was always a scramble to compile the necessary information.
After partnering with CarbonInvoice, measuring and tracking their company's carbon impact became straightforward. They managed to automatically calculate their emissions based on their business spending data, eliminating the need for manual tracking or complicated spreadsheets.
"Since partnering with CarbonInvoice in January 2023, measuring and mitigating our company's carbon impact has been a quick, easy, and efficient process."
The automation meant their carbon footprint data was always current and accurate. No more struggling to update carbon calculations or worrying about whether their numbers were up to date.
The real test came when a major client requested a detailed report on their emissions. Instead of going through weeks of data gathering and analysis, CarbonInvoice had all the necessary information readily available.
"Recently, we received a request from a client for a report on the emissions associated with our services. CarbonInvoice was able to provide the data promptly and efficiently, as they already had the necessary information readily available."
The software generated a professional reports that met client requirements without any additional work from Deborah's team. What used to be a stressful, time-consuming process became a simple data export.
More and more suppliers need to demonstrate their environmental credentials quickly and accurately. The CarbonInvoice reports provided exactly the level of detail and credibility that procurement teams were seeking.
The reports included comprehensive carbon accounting data, details about their native tree funding, and clear explanations of their environmental impact mitigation strategies. Everything was presented in a format that satisfied formal procurement requirements.
Rather than maintaining separate systems for carbon measurement and client reporting, CarbonInvoice handled both seamlessly. The same data used on their ongoing carbon management was also used to generate client reports when needed.
Having reliable, professional carbon reporting capability became a significant advantage when responding to tenders and RFPs. Many procurement processes now include mandatory environmental criteria, and being able to provide comprehensive data quickly gave them an edge over competitors.
