The Plan A Sustainability Platform is a science-based SaaS that covers the entire decarbonization journey. It automates the mapping of data across Scopes 1, 2, and 3 and combines it with national emission factors and datasets. This allows the platform to provide granular emissions profiles and ESG insights through dynamic dashboard overviews.
Companies can use the platform to set science-based net-zero targets and achieve them through over 1,000 decarbonization solutions, activities, best practices, and a network of service providers and sustainability professionals. The platform also generates regulation-proof ESG reporting, making deep decarbonization and compliance more manageable, less complex, and cost-efficient.
