Been asked to report your sustainability data?
Calculate your product's carbon footprint
Need to show the climate impact of your products? With increasing demands from customers, supply chains and regulations, many manufacturing companies lack an easy way to calculate their emissions.
Sustainability by Monitor calculates the carbon footprint directly in the ERP system, based on how products are actually manufactured.
Using your preparation as a basis, emissions from materials, transportation, production and supply chain are calculated, resulting in a CO₂e per product based on real data.
Previously, we used Excel to calculate our environmental impact. Now we can do the calculations in the ERP system, which makes our climate reporting and our working day much easier.
Sustainability data directly in your ERP system
With Sustainability by Monitor, you don't just get figures for reports, you get a tool which helps you understand and reduce the climate impact of your manufacturing. All data collected in Monitor ERP.
Tracking CO₂e from suppliers
Analyze emissions per product or part
Produce reports and decision support materials
Work systematically to reduce climate impact
Aura Light reduced its product's carbon footprint by 10%
With the help of the Sustainability by Monitor function in Monitor ERP, Aura Light has changed the material used in its Helags industrial lighting, thereby reducing its climate footprint.
By changing the material used in production, the carbon emissions for the specific component have been reduced by over 45%, resulting in a total reduction of the product’s climate footprint by 10%.
Understanding where emissions occur
Once the CO₂e calculation in the ERP system is complete, you can easily analyze the result. You can see where in the product structure the largest emissions occur and quickly identify:
- materials with a high climate impact
- suppliers responsible for high emissions
- production processes with high energy consumption
This will provide you with a concrete basis for decision-making to reduce emissions in product design, purchasing, and production.
Based on the same logic as your product calculation
Sustainability by Monitor works in the same way as a pre-calculation – but for climate impact instead of cost.
The system goes through the product's structure, analyzes each component and process, and calculates a pre-calculated carbon footprint for the product. You can then easily drill down into the details to understand exactly what is behind the emissions.
How to make your sustainability a success
Watch our webinar: Collecting data for Scope 1,2,3
To facilitate reporting, emissions are divided into three categories called Scope 1,2,3. In this webinar we will go through how to collect data for Scope 1,2,3.
