Customer case study · Expense-only data

How a leading dermatology business automated travel emissions reporting with expense-only data

DermatologyPractice

The client is a leading US dermatology practice, renowned for innovative solutions and high-quality services that enhance skin wellness and appearance.

It has its own sustainability goals, but as a private equity-backed company, it also has to meet the requirements of its key stakeholders.

Ownership Private equity-backed

The challenge

Scope 3 reporting, a PE deadline, and no travel booking data

The client came under pressure to report all Scope 3 emissions to the private equity firm that backs it. The task fell to a single sustainability generalist, already responsible for all of the company’s sustainability reporting.

The solution

One connection to the expense system the client already used

Thrust Carbon used its existing connection to SAP Concur Expense, which the client already used. Every expense line flows into Thrust Calculator, and emissions are calculated automatically across air, rail, hotel, car, and ferry.
