Speed
By ingesting data five times faster than the manual process, the Terrascope platform was able to free up the team’s valuable time and resources that were previously spent on data assimilation and reporting. With a granular and accurate view of its carbon emissions and supply chain, the sustainability team was empowered to focus on key areas for improvement and make more impactful and strategic decisions towards a more sustainable future.
Data Granularity
Terrascope’s machine learning capabilities can assimilate data from a multitude of sources and fill gaps in unavailable data. The Terrascope platform was also able to quantify emissions from activities such as employee commutes to work and emissions related to technology usage, providing realistic solutions for emissions reduction and management.
Future Proofing Operations
By giving PropertyGuru a granular and comprehensive understanding of their Scope 1, 2, and especially their Scope 3 emissions, Terrascope was able to help them build towards operational resilience. PropertyGuru’s newfound understanding of their personnel specific emissions gave them an opportunity to identify emission hotspots not just by geography or office.
GLOSSARY
Net zero
Achieving a balance between an organisation's greenhouse gas emissions and greenhouse gas removal, resulting in overall net emissions of zero
Emission scopes
- Scope 1 covers emissions from sources that an organisation owns or controls directly, such as fuel in a fleet of vehicles.
- Scope 2 covers indirect emissions generated by the energy that an organisation purchases and uses.
- Scope 3 encompasses indirect emissions (not included in scope 2) that occur along the entire value chain of an organisation.
Baselining
A reference point in time against which future emission reductions are measured. Baseline emissions are calculated by looking at an "emissions period", typically the past one to five years of an organisation's activity.
Decarbonisation
Decarbonisation is the process of reducing or eliminating carbon dioxide (CO2) and other greenhouse gas emissions to mitigate climate change. It involves transitioning from fossil fuels to cleaner energy sources and adopting low-carbon technologies across sectors like energy, transportation, and industry.
