Scope 5 is a web-based software solution that helps organizations better manage their evolving sustainability programs to reduce environmental impact, resource consumption, associated costs, and risks.
What We Do
Sustainability program managers and consultants asked us for a powerful yet accessible data management solution.
The result is Scope 5, an adaptable web-based software solution for evolving sustainability programs.
Scope 5 provides a clear path to progress – from data capture to analysis and reporting – enabling organizations to continuously improve their sustainability efforts.
Capture
Streamline efforts to gather data into a centrally-accessible database in the cloud. More
Data collection via streamlined manual entry, data upload from CSV files, or integration with existing systems.
On-demand access to live, centralized data in the cloud improves collaboration between dispersed project team members.
Open web services APIs allow 3rd party systems (such as accounting, ERP, energy management, and EH&S) to push or pull data.
Track
Manage a wide range of sustainability-related data. More
Scope 1-3 emissions sources, including energy, waste, water, travel, facilities operations raw materials, shipping, and airline travel.
Supply chain sources.
Social and other performance data (e.g. volunteerism, sustainability projects, HR data).
Flexible range of self-defined custom metrics.
Include international costs using integrated currency conversion.
Capture data monthly, quarterly, annually, etc.
Analyze
Convert data into “intelligence”. More
Convert activity data to corresponding performance indicators (e.g. usage, cost, energy and greenhouse gas emissions).
Generate intensity metrics, such as emissions per employee, emissions per square foot, dollars per product manufactured, as well as user-defined metrics.
Identify trends and outliers that can represent opportunities for cost-saving and improving operational efficiency.
Improve data integrity (accuracy, transparency).
Identify missing or suspect data with the help of automatic alerts.
Report
Communicate performance to stakeholders and meet reporting requirements. More
Create custom dashboards for internal or public stakeholders.
Generate reports that support common voluntary and mandatory reporting (e.g. GRI, TCR, CDP, surveys/scorecards, regulatory filings, ISO14001).
Use flexible data filtering to increase report customization.
Transparent audit trail, including calculations, notes and file attachments.
Using one set of captured data, run a variety of reports using different emissions/energy conversion factor calculations (e.g. from different time frames, or different standards).
Access current versions of common emissions/energy conversion factors (e.g. WRI, TCR) from Scope 5’s library, or create custom versions.
Accommodate varied consumption units (e.g. gallons, liters and barrels).
Plan
Convert opportunities into action. More
Set performance targets (e.g. cost, energy, Scopes 1-3) at different organizational levels.
Monitor progress in real time.
Compare goals and results across different organizational groups.
Reduce
Improve sustainability and operational performance. More
Operational costs.
Regulatory, financial, legal, and market risks.
Environmental and social impacts.
Time and energy required of sustainability managers and green team members.
