    From partial focus to full insight: Rethinking climate intelligence

    Effective climate intelligence requires complete visibility across all operations, not just selective reporting. Green Effort's platform automatically converts existing business data into actionable CO2e insights, enabling real-time materiality analysis and strategic decision-making beyond compliance.

    From partial focus to full insight: Rethinking climate intelligence

    A better way to understand impact


    We believe climate intelligence should be complete, continuous and grounded in the real activities of your business.


    That is why our platform connects directly to the data that already exists in-house and automatically translates it into activity-based CO2e data , aligned with lifecycle assessment (LCA) methodology.


    This gives companies access to:


    • A real-time, automated materiality analysis
    • 100 percent coverage across all operations and suppliers
    • Insights built directly from actual business activity

    With this foundation, sustainability becomes less about assumptions and more about actionable insight .


    You can still report selectively, but now you choose with clarity


    Many organisations choose to focus their reporting on specific areas, whether for internal goals, customer requests or regulatory alignment. Simple. supports that flexibility, while providing the full context needed to make strategic, informed decisions.


    You can:


    • Identify actual emissions hotspots across your supply chain
    • Pinpoint where reductions will have the greatest effect
    • Maintain transparency and traceability across all reported data

    The key is that you are no longer limited to seeing only what you set out to measure. You are equipped with the whole picture , and that brings both confidence and credibility.


    This approach is fully aligned with leading standards such as the Greenhouse Gas Protocol , which places activity-based, supplier-specific data at the top of its data quality hierarchy. It also helps address common challenges in Scope 3 reporting, such as supplier data gaps and reliance on broad averages, as outlined by the Carbon Trust and the World Resources Institute .


    Designed to empower sustainability professionals


    Simple. is built to enhance, not replace, the role of sustainability teams. By automating data collection and emissions calculation, the platform frees professionals to focus on what matters most: setting direction, engaging stakeholders and driving progress.


    With manual work reduced, teams can:


    • Align climate targets with real operational data
    • Collaborate across finance, procurement and executive leadership
    • Spend more time leading, less time compiling

    This shift also enables better integration of sustainability into broader business strategy, as recommended by frameworks like the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) .


    Complete data, smarter action


    Real-time, company-wide emissions insight allows you to:


    • Integrate CO2e data into supplier decisions and budgeting
    • Benchmark performance across departments or locations
    • Stay ahead of evolving standards
    • Build more resilient, low-carbon operations

    With Simple., climate becomes not only measurable, but manageable , with clarity, scale and speed.


    Final thought


    Calculating and reporting part of your company may help you pass regulatory hurdles. But full insight is how you lead.


    With Simple., you can translate the data you already have into a complete view of your climate impact, automatically and in real time. Whether you report 30 percent or 100 percent, the advantage lies in knowing it all.


    Because when it comes to climate, seeing the whole picture is what drives real change .
