Presenting Your Findings

Module three

Reporting your company’s carbon footprint data can sometimes be a bit dry. Lists of stats, numerical tables and spreadsheets have their place, but when you’re presenting your findings to stakeholders on your website or in your annual report there are loads of ways to keep the content engaging, clear and dynamic

You can take inspiration from some of the businesses we’re sharing in this resource. They’ve used colourful graphics, bold headings and clear stats to communicate their current emissions and future plans – and you can do something similar!

Just remember to be transparent to avoid any confusion and unintentional greenwashing. Detail exactly what elements contribute to your published carbon footprint, and if you haven’t managed to measure some material elements yet, make sure to say you’re working on it.

A Heart of the City alumnus shared its carbon footprint presentation with us. It doesn’t always have to be fancy, it just needs to get the message and data across.
