Operational Impact
The partnership with Watershed has enabled Shopify to maintain its commitment to sustainability and climate leadership even as it transitions to a remote-first work model. The company now has a more accurate and comprehensive understanding of its carbon footprint, including previously overlooked Scope 3 emissions. This has allowed Shopify to make more informed decisions about how to reduce its carbon impact. For instance, they can now work with suppliers and teams to factor carbon into everyday decisions on everything from business travel strategies to the carbon impact of logistics. Furthermore, the ability to generate instant automatic reports and run reduction scenarios based on real data has significantly reduced the time required to assess the carbon impact of different business decisions. This ensures that Shopify's response to any future global challenges will be consistent with their vision of a prosperous and low-carbon future. | |
