Transkripsjon:

Ignite arrangerte en workshop denne uken med noen av våre kunder om karbonregnskap.

However, for carbon accounting going forward, it will not be good enough anymore.

There are especially four reasons for this.

One is low transparency.

Next, it doesn't scale well.

Thirdly, you have the challenge of maintaining an Excel model.

And fourth, collaboration is not optimal in Excel.

So let's dive deeper into each of those.

First, transparency.

So, transparency is essential for reporting in line with ESRS, and for carbon accounting, it is one of the five principles of the Greenhouse Gas Protocol.

So it is just essential that you know who did the changes, why they happened, and so on.

In the sense that Excel doesn't scale well, you have different data sets combined into one place.

So to get full coverage for your carbon accounting reporting, you need data from so many different places.

They will be in different formats.

And to map all of that into one Excel model, it's not going to happen very well.

And especially also if you scale across the organization.

So collecting data from many different places, like copying pasting numbers between different Excel sheets, there are so many places where you can easily get errors.

Then maintenance.

So you've done it once. Many companies today, they use Excel well for their carbon accounting.

But then you have the challenge of using it over time, like seeing changes, tracking stuff, like developing the model further.

Excel is just not a good tool for that.

And finally, the collaboration.

Multiple people, multiple departments, multiple parts of the organization, working together in one place with full transparency, it's just not perfect for it.

Like you have online versions of Excel, you have Google Sheets where you can see tracking and trace changes and so on.

So things are happening, but it's still just not optimal for working together.

So Excel is great to do some parts of your carbon accounting, but you need a software where you can gather, track, and work with your emissions data over time.

There are quite many tools for carbon accounting on the market, so look for a software that is transparent, easy to maintain that accommodates for the changes of data and methodology and reporting standards and that also enables you to work together with your colleagues.
