Time spent on carbon reporting cut by 80% with Monitor Hut

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.
