Optera Platform

Optera’s software provides real data to the real problem of decarbonizing the global economy. Our platform enables organizations to accurately measure and manage Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions with direct and actionable information. Our platform collects and consolidates your organization’s data across your full value-chain into a comprehensive dashboard and helps you prioritize action. Our expert team uses the latest methodologies and industry best practices to keep our platform ahead of the curve.

Collect

All your emissions data in one place

From utility data, to supplier spend, to product sales data – streamline your organization’s information in one place so you can focus on what really matters. Bulk upload tooling and a comprehensive database of corporate disclosures and emissions factors result in a simplified, auditable data ingestion and calculation process. All of the information collected is still reviewed by our experts to ensure accuracy, and when direct data isn’t available we leverage our powerful data models to make strategic estimates, helping you move to action faster.

Analyze

Compare performance across your organization
Once consolidated, your dataset is analyzed to help you identify trends and outliers across sources, regions, sites, business units, and more. Use our platform to compare how specific facilities, suppliers, products, or assets perform to prioritize your engagement and plans of action. Identify your biggest risks and opportunities toward decarbonizing your scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions.

Act
Take action and achieve your emissions goals
Empowered by data and insights, you can now build a plan to reach your targets, tracking meaningful progress along the way. Forecast your emissions across all categories and develop action plans based on the biggest levers for emissions reductions, i.e. your highest emitting suppliers, products, or facilities. Identify hotspots to prioritize outreach – you can even communicate directly with suppliers from within the Optera platform. See forecasted performance beside your organization’s targets and other science-based pathways, calculate the potential impact of efficiencies or renewables projects, prioritize steps for immediate action, and track the impact of your investments to proactively manage your emissions towards your goals.

Optera makes decarbonization manageable across all emissions scopes and categories. Our platform brings together technology solutions designed by climate leaders and supported by experts. For the decarbonization problems your organization has now or in the future, our solutions are designed to meet you where you are and scale as you grow.

EMISSIONS CALCULATION AND MANAGEMENT

Your impact across Scope 1, 2, and 3

Get the full picture of your organization’s resource use and emissions across scope 1, 2, and 3 – your full operations and value chain – to inform decision making and track progress towards your goals. The Optera platform centralizes this disparate data to make it easier to see the full scope of your business’s emissions profile, so you can spend less time calculating and more time acting.

ESG REPORTING AND DISCLOSURE

Annual emissions inventory aligned with third party protocols

As regulations and requirements continue to evolve, it can be challenging to make sure your organization is accurately recording key data to stay compliant. Optera makes it straightforward to confidently report on your annual emissions, aligning with third party reporting protocols like CDP, GRI, GRESB, and TCFD.

DECARBONIZATION TARGETS AND ROADMAPS

Ambitious, achievable, and actionable

Beginning the process of decarbonization may feel complicated and confusing, often with no clear starting point or path forward. With our team of experts and our emissions management software, we can help you set ambitious but achievable targets in line with climate science, and guide where to focus your efforts to drive action.

SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT AND ENGAGEMENT

Make Scope 3 actionable across your supply chain

Take accountability for your Scope 3, Category 1 emissions and set a program to drive collaboration and reduction across your suppliers and vendors. Calculate allocated emissions, track supplier progress, and prioritize and manage supplier engagement, all within Optera’s platform.

Supported by experts

While our platform is designed to provide all of the insights you need to power key decisions, knowing how to interpret that data – and apply it to your strategy– can be challenging. To support your efforts, all software users are paired with Optera expert consultants to assist with information structure and analysis, and to advise on how to turn your organization’s emissions data into action.
