Important results from the project
The purpose and goal of the project have been to take the knowledge and experience we previously possessed from larger companies and organizations and develop a product for smaller companies that today otherwise do not have the knowledge or resources to devote to sustainability. After the end of the project, we can today offer smaller companies a product that effectively and quickly helps them to structure, map and collect their sustainability data and to analyze and report it. It is also possible to calculate their C02-emissions and get guidance on how to work to reduce these.
Expected long term effects
We believe that the business community will have a central position to cope with the transition that needs to take place. By giving smaller companies the right tools, we help them become more sustainable. The end product measures and follows up what is relevant in sustainability, while at the same time giving its users insights and reports which in turn give them a basis for decision-making to increase the pace of change towards a more sustainable business and world. Our expected result in terms of effects for the product is the same as when we started the project, which makes us happy.
Approach and implementation
We have managed to identify, structure, map, and categorize all the data needed to be collected from a small company in order to be able to measure their sustainability work in a serious and meaningful way. In terms of product, this has been packaged in a "catalog" where customers can quickly select what is to be measured. Associated KPIs, visualizations, and reports have also been produced. We have actively built several important relationships and collaborations with players to be able to collect sustainability data in an automated way and let some test our product and process.
