Operational Impact
The adoption of the Plan A software has had significant operational results for ESMT Berlin. The software has provided a centralized platform for measuring emissions, setting benchmarks, and creating action plans. This has allowed the school to establish a baseline for their carbon emissions and track their progress over time. The software has also facilitated engagement with both students and staff, with 65% of employees sharing their commuting habits. Furthermore, the software has given the group the legitimacy to hold discussions with the school's executive board, leading to the implementation of more sustainable measures. These include battery collection stations, proper waste separation, building a greenhouse for the garden, and educational events. The school is now on track to achieve its goal of 100% coverage of emissions by 2025. | |
