Why Industry Classification Matters
Different industries face unique climate challenges—from agriculture’s water scarcity concerns to oil and gas methane emissions. By classifying your sector correctly, we can:
- Industry-Specific Hazard Profiles
Targeted Insights: We map the most relevant hazards—hurricanes, flood risk, extreme heat, etc.—against your sector’s typical operations.
Regulatory Focus: Each industry must address specific risk-related regulations, from storm-hardening infrastructure to insurance requirements. - Pinpoint Relevant Emissions Sources
Whether you operate manufacturing plants or remote drilling sites, we tailor our calculations to industry-specific emission hotspots (e.g., heavy machinery, refrigeration units, transportation fleets). - Compare Against Sector Benchmarks
We use recognized frameworks like the GHG Protocol and ISO 14064 to benchmark your data against companies facing similar operational challenges. This context highlights exactly where you excel—and where you can improve.
Key Benefits of an Industry-Focused Approach
- Actionable, Hazard-Specific Data
We evaluate over 25 climate hazards, from hurricanes and coastal flooding to wildfires and extreme heat events. By integrating your industry classification, we pinpoint the ones most likely to affect your revenue, operations, and employee safety. - Accurate Carbon Footprint Calculations
Our platform integrates your operational data—such as office buildings, mines, and remote drilling sites—with satellite imagery. By combining your specifics with industry-relevant assumptions, we can create a precise GHG emissions inventory. - Enhanced Stakeholder Trust
A tailored assessment shows investors, regulators, and customers that you take corporate climate accountability seriously. When your analysis is rooted in robust ISO 14064-aligned methods, you demonstrate compliance and thought leadership. - Informed Resource Allocation
Identify which assets or processes drive the highest emissions and climate risks. By targeting the greatest opportunities for improvement, you’ll save time and resources while maximizing impact.
How This Step Works
- Select Your Industry
Choose from a list—like oil and gas, mining, retail, manufacturing, or agriculture. If none apply, select “Other” and provide a brief description of your core activities. - Provide Basic Organizational Details
Share your company’s size, location, and main operational segments. This helps us align our GHG Protocol-compliant calculations with the realities of your business. - Prepare for Facility Inventory
Once your sector is clear, we guide you to Step 2: Gather Your Footprint, where you’ll map out each facility, from corporate offices to production sites. This granular data ensures our satellite scans accurately capture your carbon footprint and climate risk profile.
Utilizing Satellite Scans and GHG Protocol Standards
Our cloud platform harnesses terabytes of satellite data to measure and verify site-level emissions. We adhere to both GHG Protocol frameworks and ISO 14064 guidelines, ensuring the auditability and credibility of your results. For additional information on these standards, you can explore the official GHG Protocol website or the ISO organization’s page.
