From data to decarbonisation: Building your strategy with a digital climate platform

Corporate climate action

For mid and large-sized organisations, sustainability is no longer a "nice to have"—it has become a strategic imperative.

As climate change reshapes our world, the cost of inaction is becoming increasingly indefensible. Beyond simple reporting, leading organisations now recognise that their long-term success depends on building genuine climate resilience. This means proactively managing climate risk, both physical and transition risks, that threaten complex supply chains and operations, while also identifying the opportunities in a low-carbon economy. For many, the critical challenge lies in moving from ambition to a clear, data-driven climate strategy that strengthens the business and demonstrates robust corporate sustainability.

The role of climate advisors in your sustainability strategy

Many businesses partner with climate advisors to steer them through the complexities of developing, executing and reporting their sustainability strategy. These advisors offer a wealth of expertise, helping businesses to:

  • Navigate complex climate disclosure regulations and sustainability compliance.
  • Develop a clear path for carbon reduction aligned with scientifically valid goals.
  • Identify emission reduction opportunities by leveraging industry insights.
  • Communicate progress with credible claims supported by robust ESG reporting.

Climate advisors are an invaluable resource for navigating the nuances of effective corporate climate action.

Accelerating decarbonisation with digital climate platform

While climate advisors provide strategic direction, a digital climate platform provides the technological backbone to operationalise that strategy. However, most digital tools stop at basic carbon accounting, offering limited support for complex areas like scope 3 emissions or sector-specific challenges.

A truly effective platform moves beyond simple measurement. It must provide the foundation for a credible, data-driven and auditable decarbonisation strategy. Specifically, a comprehensive digital climate platform provides you with:

  • Clarity on your current sustainability reporting so you know where you stand and where you need to be to comply with the evolving regulations
  • An understanding of your business’s full emissions profile and hotspots
  • Correct data to help set targets, build a strategy and create your roadmap 
  • An assessment of the physical and financial transition risks that could affect your business

To put it simply, it enables you to achieve your climate goals faster and respond to increasing regulatory pressure. Pairing a climate advisor with a comprehensive digital climate platform therefore, combines the best of both worlds: the human touch of expert advice and the efficiency of advanced technology.

Becoming tech-enabled with Luumo

This is where South Pole’s digital climate management platform, Luumo, sets a new standard. Luumo is not a generic carbon accounting tool; it is a powerful decarbonisation platform built upon decades of deep climate expertise.

Our specialised knowledge in complex areas like FLAG (Forest, Land, and Agriculture), biodiversity and scope 3 emissions is embedded directly into the platform. Its calculations are powered by a uniquely comprehensive database of over 500,000 emission factors from more than 150 sources. This makes Luumo’s outputs far more rigorous, relevant, and auditable than standard tools.

For Sustainability Managers, this means confidently managing scope 3 emissions. For Strategy Directors, it provides the robust data needed to integrate climate opportunities into core business strategy. And for teams in Operations and Finance, it offers a clear path to identifying the most cost-effective decarbonisation levers.

With Luumo, you are in control, supported by powerful tools and climate experts every step of the way.

The path to net zero is advisory + tech

For mid and large-sized organisations facing complex supply chains, the path to net zero requires more than just software or advice alone. It demands the synthesis of both: the strategic insights of climate advisors, combined with a robust digital platform like Luumo that provides a rigorous, data-driven foundation.

This integrated approach ensures compliance, drives measurable climate action, and transforms sustainability from a reporting exercise into a source of long-term resilience and competitive advantage. The path to net zero is challenging, but with the right tools and expertise, it is within reach.
