Impact

Plan A can assess the company and its building blocks per department, the utilization of resources that create CO2 emissions and give suggestions on how to improve and also designate the responsibility to the different stakeholders 

Digitization is allowing us to make better decisions that are showing not only “this is your CO2 level, this is your ESG level” but combining these data points to business relevant and business familiar KPIs, like your growth in sales and others.
