Measure Scope 1 & 2
Scope 1 and 2 emissions - from your facilities, vehicles, and purchased energy - are typically the easiest to measure and control. But most companies only calculate them annually, making it hard to see which entities or activities drive emissions or whether reduction efforts are working.
Gardenia tracks your Scope 1 & 2 emissions continuously, breaking them down by entity, source, and over time.
What you can do:
- See total Scope 1 & 2 emissions - View combined emissions, emissions intensity, and year-over-year trends
- Break down by entity and source - See which subsidiaries or locations contribute most to your direct emissions
- Track energy mix - See how your renewable energy percentage affects emissions over time
- See both market-based and location-based Scope 2 - For companies with complex energy operations (like energy providers), track emissions using both methodologies to meet reporting requirements
Why it matters:
Scope 1 & 2 are usually the smallest part of most companies' footprints - often under 10% of total emissions. But they're where you have the most control. You can switch energy suppliers, install solar, upgrade HVAC systems, replace vehicle fleets. These are direct decisions, not complex negotiations with suppliers or customers.
