Common Wheel, a Glasgow-based charity, has been making meaningful strides in sustainability, aiming to minimise their environmental impact. However, in order to better document their progress and secure future funding for their sustainability initiatives, the organisation needed to understand its current greenhouse gas emissions and identify areas with the highest impacts. Without the in-house expertise to conduct a comprehensive analysis, Common Wheel sought support from Boxfish to develop comprehensive Carbon Reporting and set them on the path to net-zero.
Boxfish collaborated with Common Wheel to develop focused Carbon Reporting, analysing both direct energy use (Scope 1 and 2 emissions) and mandatory scope 3 emissions (vehicles used on company business). The report quantified the charity’s current emissions, and included practical recommendations for reducing emissions across various operational areas. Furthermore, Boxfish provided clear, actionable priorities to help Common Wheel set and achieve its sustainability targets, helping the charity demonstrate its commitment to environmental responsibility when applying for funding and to the general public.
With the baseline Carbon Reporting now complete, Common Wheel has a strong foundation for understanding their emissions profile and prioritising efforts to reduce their carbon footprint. The insights and tailored recommendations provided by Boxfish have equipped the charity with the knowledge and strategy required to make measurable progress toward Net Zero. This comprehensive plan is expected to significantly enhance their ability to secure additional funding and continue their sustainability journey with confidence.
