Time spent on reporting cut by 80%
Posted on: July 17, 2025

Emma is the sustainability lead at a multi-site organisation. She’s responsible for tracking emissions, supporting Net Zero targets, and reporting progress to the board.
Her biggest hurdle? The data.
Carbon reporting used to mean:
- Chasing teams for screenshots or PDFs
- Stitching together Excel sheets across utilities
- Spending weeks on a report — only to just hit the board deadline
“We’d spend weeks gathering data… then barely have time to think about what it was telling us. It felt like box-ticking, not action-driving.”
Once Emma started using Monitor Hut, she connected live meter data across all sites — for electricity, gas and water — into a single view.
Suddenly, she had:
- Carbon dashboards updated daily
- Emissions broken down by site, source and scope
- Built-in alignment with SECR and GHG Protocol
- Easy sharing with CFOs and the board — no more last-minute spreadsheets
Emma’s first real test?
Q1 reporting.
She used Monitor Hut’s built-in carbon calculator and compiled her full emissions summary — complete with insights — in under 10 minutes.
She flagged:
- Two sites with high baseload emissions
- One site using unusually high water
- HVAC upgrade opportunities, validated by data
- And set up alerts for future carbon anomalies
The outcome?
- ✔ Reporting time cut by 80%
- ✔ Confidence in Scope 3 rollout next
- ✔ Board-ready insights delivered ahead of deadline
“This finally feels like leadership, not admin. The data’s not just accurate — it’s ready when I am.”
Sustainability leads don’t just need carbon data. They need clarity, consistency, and confidence. Monitor Hut helps you stop chasing spreadsheets — and start leading with insight.
