Background

Margo’s expertise lies in supporting companies in their digital acceleration. Driven by sustainability and social commitments, they’ve been actively involved in measuring and improving their impact – training teams on the environmental footprint of digital activities and taking steps to reduce their impact, by partnering with local suppliers, for instance. They’ve also been a signatory of The UN Global Compact since 2013.

“We’re committed to taking the lead and doing it right by the planet. We started this journey by evaluating the impact of our sustainability policy with EcoVadis in 2012 and have been increasingly taking steps to reduce our environmental footprint.”

Partner and Founder of MARGO at MARGO

Problem

Margo wanted to get a deeper understanding of their environmental footprint, especially their greenhouse gas emissions. But they had little knowledge of carbon accounting and how to reduce their emissions – a problem many companies (big and small) are facing today.

What’s more, Margo was looking for a collaborative solution to implement a climate program, that’d bring all their stakeholders together to act for the planet. But, they needed the right tooling and resources to implement it smoothly and across their offices in Paris, London, and Warsaw.

“None of our team members were carbon experts or knew where to start to measure and reduce our emissions. The clarity and accessibility of the Sweep platform made it easy to understand which data to collect and which partners to involve.”

Solution

For digital-savvy organizations, carbon management tools are a quick and accessible solution to dive into the world of carbon with teams and partners. Within a few weeks of using Sweep, Margo can:

  • Get a first overview of their greenhouse gas emissions – covering 400+ employees across three offices in three countries
  • Automate data collection with surveys to increase the granularity of their carbon footprint
  • Autonomously manage their carbon activities on Sweep – from building a reduction roadmap to reporting emissions

In a matter of weeks, Sweep provided us with a carbon assessment on our Scopes 1 and 2. But given our industry, we know that our Scope 3 represents the majority of our global emissions and our next step is to work with all our employees, customers, and suppliers to measure and reduce all our direct and indirect emissions.”
