As climate change changes our world, the cost of inaction is becoming increasingly indefensible. The sustainability landscape is evolving rapidly—and navigating intricate data analysis, ever-evolving best practices, and changing regulations can be daunting. Moreover, these changing regulations are expected to tighten, driving the shift from claims to disclosure, and putting additional pressure on accurate reporting and communications.
Many businesses already partner with climate advisors to steer their businesses through the complexities of developing, executing, and reporting their sustainability strategy and reducing their emissions. These advisors offer a wealth of expertise, helping businesses:
Climate advisors are an invaluable resource with their finger on the pulse of the changes in regulation, market shifts and best practices.
While climate advisors provide strategic direction, digital climate platforms offer the technological backbone to operationalise sustainability. However, most digital tools focus on only one or two aspects of decarbonisation. They can streamline greenhouse gas (GHG) accounting and provide some of the data needed for reporting, but businesses might require more if they are to meet their sustainability strategy and carbon emission requirements.
A comprehensive digital climate platform brings together all of these elements whilst also giving insights into emission hotspots, emission reduction modelling and target setting, the potential for climate risks, and the accurate data needed for reporting. Specifically, a comprehensive digital climate platform provides you with:
To put it simply, it enables you to achieve your climate goals faster and respond to increasing regulatory pressure. Pairing a climate advisor with a comprehensive digital climate platform therefore, combines the best of both worlds: the human touch of expert advice and the efficiency of advanced technology.
Communicating climate action effectively requires both precision and credibility. So, while digital platforms and AI-driven tools can streamline data collection, they lack the nuance needed to craft compelling, trust-building sustainability claims to ensure compliance with evolving regulations.
And that’s why climate advisors play a crucial role–they bring strategic insights, industry context, and ethical guidance to help clients navigate complex disclosure frameworks. These experts help avoid greenwashing risks and translate the raw data into impactful, audience-specific messaging that promotes brand value and trust.
