Businesses are coming under increased pressure to show how they’re improving their sustainability performance, and making the transition to becoming Low Carbon is critical to this journey. To reduce carbon and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions across Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3, organisations must plan, roll out, and track targets for energy efficiency, renewables, energy storage, behaviour awareness, etc.

In this, the first episode of Enterprise Ireland’s new Sustainable Enterprise Webinar Series, recorded on 18 September 2024, our EnergyElephant CEO Joseph Borza shares valuable insights on energy and sustainability data quality, breaking it down into “the good, the bad, and the ugly” (YouTube timestamp 3:53 – 42:50).

Joe is joined by James Kelleher, Operations Finance Director at Kerry – one of our valued EnergyElephant customers – to discuss the importance of quality energy and sustainability data from a business perspective (42:50 – 51.56). Kerry is a world leader in the food, beverage, and pharma industries, with 22,000+ staff and 150+ innovation and manufacturing centres across 30+ countries. You can read more about Kerry's sustainability commitments and achievements over on their website.

During the Q&A session, Joe provides further insights, touching on related topics that arose during the conversation, such as the importance of quality data for mandatory CSRD reporting (52:40 – 1.01.26).

This video is a must-watch for any SME or large company looking to get started on or accelerate their sustainability and decarbonisation journey.
