This is a "I love my job" time. Yesterday, with Laurence Coulon from INVESTSUD, we had the pleasure to support RumeXperts with the finalisation of their carbon footprint assessment with our brand new (and shiny!!) Carbon Cockpit Scan 💻 In less than 3h, Leonard Theron was able to collect and encode relevant data to get an estimation with actionnable insights about their carbon footprint (a work that would have needed 6 months through a classing "consulting" approach). With the Carbon Cockpit Scan, we are not only changing the game of carbon accounting. We are making it accessible to all companies. And that, is a game changer!
