About us
Although a lot of work has already been undertaken, the purpose of this project is to help make sense of data by transforming it into findings that can help identify potential actions that will lead to the outcomes and impact intended. Predominantly these will contribute to catching back tCO2 deficits accumulated since 2021 (SBT baseline year). The current data collection process is reasonably effective; however, as already mentioned the analysis of data remains challenging, hence the need for a more thorough approach focused on determining where best to apply effort/resource to maximise opportunity for success. The project shall consider how the data might be used to predict future carbon emission trajectories based on different scenarios taking account specific sites and intercompany trading activities. Lucy Electric is a complex Global organisation and careful thought needs applying to any proposals. Data is obtained from several sources across multiple sites, much of the data is collated into e -manage, there are other repositories for non-emission related information i.e. training, biodiversity and wellbeing. These are often linked to the organisations’ Sustainability Development Goals (SDGs), although equally important, they are not always promoted to the same extent as the raw emissions data.
The role
The project will span all three priority pillars: People, Planet and Progress and consider tangible and intangible outcomes (Quantitative and Qualitative)
Although there are several ways of approaching the task, it is suggested that the following structure is considered:
- Organisation and interrogation of data; This will provide a robust foundation for analysis.
- Initial analysis: To identify patterns, trends, themes, and relationships in the information.
- Attribution and course and effect: To test hypothesis and validate findings.
- Translation of findings into conclusions and recommendations (improvement opportunities)
- Report writing, integration into guidance documents (Carbon Reporting) and dissemination to interested parties.
We anticipate being able to provide a clear, concise, and robust methodology to ensure captured data adds value to the business.
