We created the BEE two years ago so that companies looking to become Climate Neutral Certified would have a free, self-service option for standardized and rigorous carbon measurement. It's designed to be an accessible starting point, quickly using simple financial data to output a cradle-to-consumer emissions estimate in just a few moments.
After companies produce a simple estimate, they can license or certify to refine the output from the BEE. This refinement uses company data about purchases, physical inventory, and operating decisions to sharpen the business' carbon inventory. It's an efficient and effective way to get started, without draining resources and budget from the actual climate-impacting work of removing, avoiding, and reducing emissions.
The BEE is tested and proven, with nearly 350 companies completing carbon measurement on the BEE as part of becoming Climate Neutral Certified. Now we're expanding both its functionality accessibility for companies starting their climate action journey.
After a busy winter of development, we're very excited to share some extremely impactful updates in the latest version of the BEE:
These features have been critical to our current certification cycle, with more than 400 companies now measuring their carbon emissions. Having a self-service option for carbon accounting allows Climate Neutral to serve more companies and to expand our non-profit impact more quickly.
We believe that an accessible, nonprofit tool for measuring and managing corporate carbon emissions can drive significant impact. In an increasingly crowded landscape of software options for carbon accounting, the BEE stands out as a low-cost option that enables rapid measurement, offers insights, and becomes the basis for planning immediate decarbonization actions.
Every dollar not spent on fancy measurement software can be a dollar invested into solutions that directly decarbonize the atmosphere. Our hope is that the BEE can allow companies to measure faster, and more simply, and then get on to paying for climate solutions.
If you work for a company and you haven’t already, estimate your carbon emissions. It's the only way to get started, and it's why we make BEE estimation free to anyone who wants to use it. Ready to go further? Purchase a license or go through the Climate Neutral Certified process to refine your BEE estimate with product and purchase data to sharpen your carbon measurement.
