# Decarbonizing **business**

The breadth and depth of Normative’s database ensures that every company, no matter the industry or region, can generate accurate and actionable carbon calculations.

## Normative for business

Climate change has confronted businesses with new and unprecedented challenges.

No matter their industry, businesses are dealing with new carbon reporting requirements, greenwashing risks, volatile supply chains, fluctuating energy costs, and challenges in employee recruiting and retention.

Any business can use carbon accounting to uncover emissions throughout their entire operations – and offers a roadmap to decarbonization, risk minimization, and investment opportunities

## Impacts

The world’s industries generate a significant amount of carbon, but accounting for those emissions is particularly challenging.

91%

50,000

40%

World’s financial capital committed to net-zero investments (PWC)

## Barriers to accurate carbon reporting

Like many areas of modern business, accurate carbon accounting depends on a massive amount of data – and it’s nearly impossible to discover emissions trends without expertise and automation.

This challenge is compounded in the value chain, which makes up over 90% of the emissions for most companies. Supply chain data must be incorporated from tens of thousands of individual suppliers from around the world, many of whom will deliver emissions data in differing formats and quality. A complete emissions profile requires effective processing all of this data.
