Impact Story
Here’s how we’ve helped businesses like yours achieve significant environmental and financial benefits through carbon footprinting.
Dekmar, a pioneering startup focused on repurposing rope to reduce waste in the aquaculture industry, faced a key challenge to strengthen their funding application and secure the resources needed to scale their business. With sustainability at the core of their operations, Dekmar was already making a significant impact by repurposing materials and reducing waste. However, they struggled to quantify the emissions reduction benefits of their transportation processes.
That’s where Planner Bee VA Services stepped in. We partnered with Dekmar to analyse their logistics operations and calculate the greenhouse gas emissions associated with their rope transportation. Our findings were astounding: Dekmar’s innovative approach resulted in an almost 90% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions compared to competitors.
Armed with their emissions data, Dekmar was able to effectively demonstrate their exceptional environmental credentials in their funding application. The quantitative evidence of their emissions reduction played a key role in helping them to secure the necessary funding, propelling Dekmar towards their goal of transforming the aquaculture industry.
By partnering with Planner Bee VA Services, Dekmar was able to:
- Quantify their environmental impact: Gain a clear understanding of their emissions reduction benefits.
- Strengthen their funding application: Provide compelling data to support their sustainability claims.
