Andrew Hughes, TripShift, on Gathering Real-Time Scope 3 Data
This week, Adam is joined by Andrew Hughes, CEO of TripShift, to discuss the issues surrounding businesses gathering data insights for their Scope 3 (Travel and Transport) emissions to drive sustainable change in their workplace.
Andrew tells us about his business, TripShift, and how they gather real-time data on employee travel habits. UK legislation says that businesses must report on and be held accountable for their Scope 3 emissions - but as Andrew points out, this data isn’t always controllable due to third-party transport and other external factors.
He tells us how technology is evolving in the field of real-time data gathering and analysis and what this means for businesses working to identify areas to reduce their carbon emissions.
Adam and Andrew also discuss how to approach greener transport options without focussing on the “doom-loop” aspect of climate change and how gamification is proving to spur change among larger businesses.
In this episode, Adam and Andrew discuss:
- The problems with gathering data for Scope 3 emissions
- The benefits to real-time data and how AI will continue to improve this
- How gamification can lead the way for change in carbon emission reduction
- How to handle the doom-conversations surrounding climate change to advocate for travel
The weekly Hypercube podcast sits down with leaders in the energy and utilities sectors to explore how data analytics can help businesses make smarter decisions and accelerate business growth.
