We've been hard at work since the launch of new Brand Emissions Estimator (BEE) earlier this year, making continued updates to add features and improve capabilities in response to user feedback. Whether you're using the BEE for measurement en route to becoming Climate Neutral Certified or licensing it to start your own climate journey, the BEE's nonprofit model of rapid estimation makes carbon measurement and action accessible to companies of any size.
First, I want to note that this work is being done by our small internal team along with a tremendous group of volunteer contributors. The success of this approach has been really exciting to us and we’re grateful for the contributions of this group. If you know of anyone who would like to donate time and software engineering expertise, please reach out!
After launching our third major release of the BEE, more than 200 certifying users used the tool to measure their 2021 emissions. They shared lots of great feedback with us and we’ve been able to implement usability improvements that will benefit all users. These include:
In addition to usability, we’ve enhanced the tool and its ability to help our users to plan reduction measures. We’re very excited to share that now, users can do the following:
We’ve also continued to refine our methodology and made small changes to better align to Greenhouse Gas protocol.
You can always reference our full methodology here.
As we’ve built out the tool for our users, we’ve also announced our first technology partnership to license estimation in the BEE to Novata, a leading platform for ESG management for private companies. We’re very excited about the potential for this partnership to get more companies measuring their emissions.
Finally … if you’re not a licensed user yet, we encourage you to consider it so that you can take advantage of everything in the tool, including all of the updates above!

Companies need to ramp up their financial contribution to climate solutions, spend those funds on the right things, and publicly disclose this capital allocation to stakeholders. So that begs the question: how should each company determine its next steps? What level of investment is needed to decarbonize?
At a moment when report after report shows the world is nowhere near its climate goals, the corporate climate movement is slowing down - not speeding up. For the past decade, thousands of companies raced to set ambitious, long-term targets for emissions reduction. But few if any are meeting those targets.
As we commemorate five years since the launch of our organization, we’re excited to share our 2023 Impact Report. It showcases the tangible contributions we've made to the climate movement, reflecting our journey from ideas and dreams to action and impact, and the incredible community who has joined, encouraged, and championed our mission along the way.
