Advanced Topics: Scope 4 & Avoided Emissions.

Scope 4 (avoided emissions from your products/services) can be your biggest impact lever. AI helps you design for it.

1. 1

   Quantify Scope 4: How much emissions do your products/services help customers avoid? (e.g., software reduces travel, renewable energy replaces fossil)

2. 2

   Ask AI: "How do we design for maximum avoided emissions? What product changes increase customer carbon reduction?"

3. 3

   Communicate: How do you talk about avoided emissions without overstating?

4. 4

   Set targets: "Our products help customers avoid X tons CO2e/year"

5. 5

   Innovate: How do you increase this over time?

Adapt to your actual files and context before using.

Calculate our Scope 4 avoided emissions. Our [product] helps customers avoid [X] tons. How do we verify this? How do we communicate it?

Redesign our product to maximize avoided emissions. What features? What would customers need to do to achieve this?
