Carbon planning

Make the next reduction count.

Connect your emissions baseline to a practical action plan, with owners, assumptions and progress in one place.

The challenge

A target does not tell you what to do on Monday.

Reduction opportunities often sit in separate project lists, each with different assumptions. Bring them into one discussion before making a commitment.

From question to action

A workflow you can work with.

01

Define the baseline

Agree on sites, activities, reporting period and known data gaps.

02

Compare opportunities

Record estimated impact, cost, dependencies and confidence for each initiative.

03

Assign the work

Give each action a responsible owner and a review cadence.

04

Track what changes

Compare observed data with the baseline and document changes in scope.

In practice

From an energy proposal to a tracked initiative

A manufacturing team is considering a compressed-air upgrade. Record the current electricity use, the engineering estimate, the investment required and the operating conditions. Revisit those assumptions when actual data arrives.

The working output
An initiative register with baseline evidence, assumptions, ownership and status.
What stays connected

Keep the context with the data.

  • Baseline and reporting boundaries
  • Estimated versus measured reductions
  • Costs, dependencies and action owners
Explore the evidence trail
Practical questions

Know what sits behind the promise.

Can a reduction estimate be treated as a measured result?

No. Keep projected savings separate from observed results, and document the measurement period and operating conditions.

Where should we start?

Start with a defined group of sites and a small set of actions where the baseline and responsible owners are clear.
