mylight150 is a French leader in Europe’s energy transition. Through innovative technology and services, they help homeowners to generate solar power, manage consumption, and monetise surplus energy. They operate across France, Spain, Switzerland and Romania, and have connected over 30,000 homes.
The mylight150 team wanted to calculate a comprehensive GHG Inventory down to the component-level. With Gardenia, mylight150 has set up an automated carbon accounting workflow, providing a ‘live’ stream of high-quality data to monitor, manage and advance their sustainability performance.
Challenge
mylight150 sources solar components from 750+ suppliers across Asia and Europe. They needed a solution that could trace their supply chian, highlight the carbon impact of each component, and run the calculation at scale. Additional sources of complexity included:
- 30+ solar panel types with signifiant variance in their emissions profiles
- Global transportation network shipping components across Asia and Europe.
- Extensive upstream and downstream emissions representing 99% of total emissions.
- Energy provider vertical requiring market- and location-based emission calculation for grid, nuclear, and solar.
“As a fast growing impact company, automating our carbon footprint was necessary. After analysing several products on the market, we chose Gardenia 3 years ago. It is the only solution that provides a fully integrated and digitalised experience. We are now able to file our Scope 1, 2 and 3 report without any hassle.”
Solution
mylight150 chose to partner to set up live emissions tracking with minimal operational burden. Gardenia aims to extract the most granular insight from the available data through automated data extraction, processing and enrichment capabilities. With the mylight150 team, we set up automated tracking for:
- 759,067+ data points
- 750+ suppliers
- 30+ solar panel types
- Transportation emissions across their supply chain
- Both market-based and location-based calculations for their energy subsidiary
Results
By partnering with Gardenia, mylight150 obtained a full emissions inventory and a detailed view of each product across its lifecycle. The mylight150 team can:
- Track emissions in 'real-time' as data becomes available.
- Analyse emissions by supplier and product type.
- Run an auditable, repeatable process for calculating emissions each year.
We look forward to continued work with the mylight150 team to automate the collection and reporting of high quality ESG data, as they work to lead the way in the solar energy transition.
