CarbonSuite is a simple and effective solution, providing carbon accounting services for a wide range of businesses. Here’s how CarbonSuite was able to provide enhanced ESG Reporting for a global telecommunications company, JT Global.
Objective
Founded in 1895, JT is a global connectivity and business enterprise provider. Their offering includes a wide range of communication services and solutions. Headquartered in Jersey, Channel Islands, JT employs 480 people worldwide, serving both residential and business customers across the Channel Islands and beyond.
JT has also expanded into international markets, delivering services like mobile intelligence, fraud protection, SIM swap identification, mobile number portability, enterprise messaging, and sponsored roaming solutions.
ESG commitments sit at the very core of JT’s business strategy. They have reduced their Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 41% since 2020, reflecting their strong ESG commitments. As a NetSuite customer, JT was looking for a built-in solution to enhance their emissions reporting. Their aim: to improve data accuracy and highlight trends in real-time.
As CarbonSuite is industry agnostic, it was a practical solution to provide carbon accounting for a telecommunications company like JT. Let’s have a closer look at how CarbonSuite was able to enhance JT’s ESG reporting.
Solution
CarbonSuite’s Corporate Carbon Accounting SuiteApp was implemented for JT. With support from the CarbonSuite team, JT was able to install and configure the SuiteApp in their NetSuite account and immediately automate their carbon accounting process. This data serves as a key input to JT’s monthly and annual ESG update, providing audit-ready data that is accurately aligned to their financial data.
Benefits
Complex Calculations Made Simple
JT has complex emissions calculations across Scope 1, 2, and 3. For example, they track emissions from refrigerant leaks in facilities, electricity emissions based on various market-based emission factors, and the emissions from the use of their sold products (mostly networking equipment and other digital hardware). Automation from CarbonSuite not only dramatically reduced the time and effort required for these calculations but provided JT with timely emissions reporting allowing them to focus their strategy.
Accounting Team Enabled
Led by financial controller, Hannah Mitchell, JT was able to integrate carbon accounting into their existing accounting workflows. This saved the team time, improved data accuracy, ensured security of sensitive financial data, and enhanced reporting with ready-to-use dashboards. Additionally, since the accounting team was already familiar with NetSuite, they were able to quickly understand and use the SuiteApp functionalities.
Hands-on Support
CarbonSuite provided dedicated support throughout the implementation and beyond, with real expertise in emission reporting that JT could easily understand. This ensured that the data was recorded correctly and that the JT team was fully trained on the system and confident in its output.
