The Challenge
Before partnering with Terrascope, Thoughtworks lacked visibility and a granular understanding of its emissions, particularly Scope 3 emissions from its value chain. Collecting and centralising business data, prioritising decarbonisation actions, and tracking progress towards its climate goals were complex and time-consuming.
The Terrascope Solution
With Terrascope’s support, Thoughtworks kickstarted its carbon measurement and management journey on the right foot, unlocking a range of long-term benefits:
01.
Optimising data quality
By transitioning from manual file uploads to automated API integrations, the platform helped to minimise the risk of errors in data entry. Terrascope also enabled automated version management and data tracking, to help improve the accuracy and reliability of emissions data.
02.
A comprehensive solution for climate performance & accountability
Terrascope helped Thoughtworks establish a detailed emissions breakdown for 2022, setting a robust foundation to track and manage climate performance over time. With a multi-year view of both direct and indirect emissions, Thoughtworks identified the top five drivers which were responsible for the majority of its emissions.
These insights allow the company to strategically target high-emission activities and business units, collaborate with stakeholders on reduction goals, and track progress — all within a single platform.
03.
Optimising decarbonisation investments
Terrascope enabled Thoughtworks to identify emissions hotspots and reduction opportunities with the most significant impact.
As a result, the company is able to allocate resources effectively for optimal decarbonisation results, focusing on the highest emission contributors, but also on areas where increases were spotted, with a preventative lens.
