In this special video feature, sustainability leaders from Banza and Simple Human share detail on their organizational carbon measurement journeys. Hear why they trust the Business Emissions Evaluator (BEE) and how they've used it to accelerate their climate action work.

We recently sat down with Sophie Rifkin, Sr. Director of Sustainability at Banza, and John Mathai, Sustainability Manager at Simple Human, to understand how they use the BEE to evolve their climate action strategies. This conversation was fun, insightful, and packed with detail on their organizational carbon measurement journeys. They shared behind-the-scenes insight on:

  • Why they decided to use the BEE to measure their Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions
  • Details on a few of their favorite BEE features
  • How the BEE's accessible price point has enabled them to focus budget on climate solutions (vs. software)
  • Ways they've used BEE data to identify where to invest in reductions work
  • Techniques they've used to advance climate reporting and internal communication initiatives using BEE learnings

Simple Human has been a BEE user for multiple years, and Banza will be entering their second year using the tool shortly. Let's jump in to learn how each leading organization uses BEE data to accelerate their climate action work.

Sophie and John mentioned new BEE features that Climate Neutral introduced this year. You can check out a summary of those updates here and preview additional data visuals.

Four Stakeholder Insights that are Shaping our 2025 Standard

In late 2023, we launched a multi-year project to update our certification framework and introduce a new climate label by 2025. Our aim is to create a certification that is both clear and motivating for companies. Over the past 10 months, we engaged with NGOs, certified brands, and other stakeholders, conducted a public survey, and beta-tested with over 20 companies. This process has gathered extensive feedback, which will shape the final 2025 Standard, set to be revealed during Climate Week NYC in late September. This blog post previews 4 key takeaways from the stakeholder process.

The Next Wave of Corporate Climate Investment is Coming

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?
