Why AI changes the approach
Manual carbon reporting takes weeks and is error-prone. AI helps you automate data collection, calculation, and reporting so you can produce accurate reports faster.
Step-by-step
- 1
Design data flow: Where does data come from? (utilities, ERP, supplier portal, travel system) How often?
- 2
Set up automation: API connections or automated exports from each source
- 3
Create calculation engine: Automated emissions calculations based on activity data
- 4
Build reporting template: Automated dashboard or document that pulls latest calculated data
- 5
Test and refine: Run a pilot with manual verification to ensure accuracy
