Carbon reduction plan tool
A reduction plan tool takes your footprint and turns it into a set of actions with dates, owners and expected impact. It is the layer between measurement and doing something.
What it usually includes
- A baseline year with Scope 1, 2 and Scope 3 estimates
- A target year and an interim milestone
- Reduction levers with expected savings and cost
- Progress tracking against the plan
- An exportable document for tenders or disclosures
When you need one
- You bid for UK public sector contracts over the PPN 06/21 threshold
- An investor or parent company asks for a written plan
- You have set a target and need to show how you will hit it
How it fits with accounting software
Accounting software measures. A reduction plan tool acts on that measurement. Many platforms include both, but the reduction module is often thinner than the marketing suggests. Look at real examples before you buy.
