Decarbonizing for the Win.

Cleaner energy starts with cleaner data.

 

Every sector in every market is undergoing transformation. Climate action isn’t just this century’s biggest concern (and for good reason)—it’s the biggest business opportunity.

Climate change poses material risks to all businesses – whether from supply chain disruption from extreme weather, from regulatory risk as governments and cities ramp up action, or from damage to brands as consumers increasingly demand transparency and assurance of sustainability.

Reactively responding to this new imperative is now risky business.

Instead of waiting for policy and social pressure, leading companies are using climate leadership as a competitive advantage and source of innovation.

Businesses no longer compete on just price and quality, there’s a third component—a sustainable future.

Every company should have a speedometer on how they are reducing carbon emissions and how they can improve in real time. If you simply look at your climate impact once a year, you are always going to be making decisions in the rear-view mirror.

Accordingly, new standards for energy procurement are emerging to facilitate real-time decision making. With leadership from companies like Microsoft and Google, businesses are upping their game in an effort to make a meaningful impact on climate change and maintain a competitive advantage by measuring and managing their energy generation and consumption in hourly increments.

 

Democratizing CFE

Companies never had available the type of solution that will truly give them a competitive advantage with 24/7 carbon-free energy—until Cleartrace.

We’ve built the first hourly based Decarbonization Platform.

Why hourly matters (to your business and the planet)

Not only does hourly data give you the ability to proactively manage your scope 2 emissions, it also combats the reputational risk of greenwashing. When you measure carbon emissions on an annual basis, you use loose chronology, or the connection between the time of production and consumption. As more companies make progress towards decarbonization, not understanding chronology will create a grid imbalance.

The reality is that most “100% Renewable” claims are actually misleading because of chronology – which explains why so much scrutiny is being placed on companies and why greenwashing claims are on the rise.

The opportunity cost of climate inaction is rising

Over one-third of U.S. companies report they are losing business over their competitors’ sustainability practices, and this trend is showing no signs of reversing.

To make it worse the recent SEC announcements are a harbinger of what’s to come. Investors are demanding granular, auditable data around a company’s carbon emissions.

Now more than ever your customers (and investors) are speaking with their wallets. Not proactively acting on this opportunity now has a rising cost that’s becoming greater than action.

Carbon commitments must be backed by credible data

Despite generally unified sustainability goals around the world, energy information today is siloed, linear, unvalidated and non-standardized, creating inefficiencies that make achieving those goals almost impossible. So without clear energy data standards, targets are fraught with ambiguity which has fueled confusion and accusations of greenwashing.

Hourly data gives you immutable, verifiable and auditable carbon emissions data – load matched to the time and location it was consumed and generated.

Make decarbonization leadership your competitive advantage
