The Climate Hub enables the definition of short and long-term targets for each emissions category.
Once a company has created transparency about its greenhouse gas emissions balance using the accounting module, emission reduction targets can be defined and managed using the targets module. To do this, a base report must first be defined for the target definition.
Any number of target years can then be defined using the plus symbol. In addition, an existing report can be used as a comparison report so that the targets can be compared not only with the base year, but also with this report.
The benchmark is initially set to a linear reduction of 4% per year, but can be adjusted according to company or industry specifications. This path is shown as a dashed line.
The overall reduction target can be entered in the top line of the table. This path is shown as a solid line. Individual targets can then be set for each category. The categories all have an assigned color, which can also be found on the left side of the table and in the legend above the graphic.
Note: The percentage reduction always refers to the base year.
In the last column “Comparison report”, the report selected there - in this case the report from 2024 - is compared with the base year - in this case 2023. This is explained in more detail using an example.
The percentage is calculated by comparing 2024 with the base year:
In 2024, Demo AG achieved 22.34 t emissions in the category vehicle fleet (quantity) and thus reduced its emissions by 3.62% compared to the base year.
The color results from the comparison of 2024 with the first target year:
The two figures are red because the comparison of 2024 with 2030 shows that the Demo AG originally targeted emissions of 23.18t - 9.27t =13.91t for 2030, but emissions in 2024 are only 22.34t. If the performance in 2024 were better than the target, the figures would be marked in green.
