Thrust Carbon announces the launch of its industry-first Compliance Suite, expanding on its ability to provide organizations with the tools to meet stringent environmental reporting requirements across global jurisdictions.
With organizations facing nearly 1500 climate change-related laws globally—and a plethora of additional third party assurance requirements—it is both more important and more difficult than ever for companies to achieve climate compliance.
Thrust Carbon’s Compliance Suite equips organizations with emissions data that is highly robust and transparent. Crucially, it also powers access to this data in a way that is dynamic and customizable, making it not only possible—but effortless—to comply with virtually any requirement.
This gold standard-level of data quality and access means that rather than worrying about defending the accuracy of their GHG calculations, organizations and travel managers can save time and focus on the goal of actually reducing their emissions for net zero.
Comprising over a dozen specialized features, the Compliance Suite provides organisations with an end-to-end solution for all compliance and assurance needs:
- Pre-calculation: organisations can fully customize their required settings based on their requirements. A large selection of leading methodologies (such as from ICAO, Google and IATA) is available. ISO 14083 settings can be applied to the chosen methodologies, providing an additional layer of defensibility to carbon calculations.
- Post-calculation: numerous tools make it simple to prove the accuracy and reliability of their emissions calculations with unprecedented transparency. For example, an ‘Assurance Admin’ user level makes it possible to grant temporary access to specialised data auditors. In-app calculation breakdowns and detailed mass csv downloads provide access to dozens of underlying datapoints, while data quality dashboards provide a bird’s eye view of data quality and methodology usage.
"Questionable data and lack of transparency have undermined the race to net zero across every business sector. For Thrust Carbon and the travel industry, this ends today," said Kit Aspen, CEO at Thrust Carbon. "We've augmented our industry-leading compliance tools to make them more powerful than ever."
“ATPI were early adopters of Thrust Carbon. We love that they continue to challenge the status quo, pushing us and our clients to do better,” shares Pippa Ganderton, Director of ATPI Halo “as well as having the peace of mind that their emissions reporting aligns with international standards”
