Speeding Up Asia Pacific's Decarbonization: The Role of Emissions Tracker

Global pressure for climate action and delivering net zero continues to accelerate at pace. The science is clear, and the market is moving from acceptance to purpose-led action. Business and governments are mobilising at scale. Regulators, investors, workforce, and customers are increasingly demanding evidence of net zero progress.

PwC's Asia Pacific edition of the Net Zero Economy Index analyses the region's state of net zero transition to inform governments, businesses and investors of the decarbonisation progress and opportunities for policy alignment and innovation across the economies.

Tracking greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions can be challenging because they come from so many sources, both direct and indirect. Organisations need the right framework, regular data tracking, and appropriate calculation methodologies to track GHG emissions.

Built on PwC’s years of experience collecting, analysing, and reporting carbon footprints, Emissions Tracker helps you aggregate, analyse and report carbon data. This allows ease of monitoring and managing of emission reduction and net-zero initiatives.

Amy Cai, Partner, PwC China “PwC’s Emissions Tracker helps estimate GHG emissions across the value chain using automated data collection and analysis, significantly reducing person-hours and costs. It helps manage both quantitative and qualitative data in one centralised, transparent platform, with multi-user access rights and simultaneous editing capability.”

Ivy Kuo, Asia Pacific Sustainability Leader, PwC China “At PwC, we have been on our own net zero journey. PwC has made a worldwide commitment to achieve net zero greenhouse gas emissions with near-term science-based 2030 goals. We help organisations to develop and implement decarbonisation plans. This includes re-aligning corporate strategy, governance and accountability, operating models, innovation and research and development (R&D), tax strategy and reporting, enterprise and supply chain transformation. We also help with people and talent, partnerships and alliances, corporate affairs and regulatory engagement.”

In a recent PwC-sponsored IDC Spotlight, titled ‘Speeding Up Asia Pacific's Decarbonization: The Role of Emissions Tracker’ (October 2024, #AP7875X), analysts state that, “Digital solutions like Emissions Tracker help organizations to compute accurately and completely emissions baselines, and monitor subsequent emissions levels. They do this by seamless integration with existing data collection IT systems such as ERP/EMS, thus enabling less error-prone automated input of material available real data, the plugging of data gaps, and the calculation of the full emissions picture. Accurate and complete emissions data allows organizations to locate pain points in operations, craft mitigating strategies, and monitor, analyze, and report the impact of decarbonization initiatives."
