"Let's turn our attention to what we want and need our data to be. We all know data is essential for climate action, but let's be honest, it's so tough to get together data that's accurate, reliable, complete, and assurance-ready. It's particularly tricky if you're creating a carbon footprint for the first time."
In this special episode of “Driving Profit with Net Zero emissions” podcast, we're revisiting a recent webinar that we hosted in collaboration with Trellis Technologies — "Climate Action - Harnessing Data and Digital Transformation for Success"

We’ll unpack the critical role data plays in driving climate action, explore the hurdles in collecting quality data, and highlight how innovative tools can make all the difference. You’ll hear insights from Trellis about their platform, followed by Deepa Dasari from the University of Queensland sharing their real-world challenges with data collection and how they’ve overcome them.
In this episode, we cover:

• The power of data in climate action: Understand why reliable data is the backbone of successful climate strategies.
• Overcoming data collection roadblocks: Discover common obstacles in gathering accurate data and how to address them.
• Turning data into impact: Learn how to convert raw data into valuable insights that spotlight trends, emissions hotspots, and areas for improvement.
• Maximising digital tools for ESG: See how tools like Trellis streamline data management, enhance reporting accuracy, and strengthen decision-making in your sustainability efforts.
• A real-world case study: Gain practical takeaways from a Trellis customer on how digital tools revolutionised their data management and sustainability outcomes.
