Rio Carbon Reporting

Rio is an intelligent sustainability management system that helps businesses, public sector organisations, and SMEs track their sustainability data, report on their progress, and learn to become more sustainable.

As part of a completed project, Norwich BID partnered with Rio to offer businesses in the area access to the Rio platform, helping them track their sustainability journey. During this initiative, Rio analysed business data and provided actionable ways to improve sustainability and reduce costs.

Through the partnership, Rio supported businesses with:

• Target-setting: Establishing organisational goals and monitoring progress.
• Reporting: Providing key information to stakeholders.
• Legislation: Offering access to a legal library of environmental legislation.
• Carbon footprint reduction: Identifying opportunities to cut emissions.
• Training: Providing educational resources to increase sustainability knowledge.

Tracking carbon impact is not only a cost-saving measure but is also increasingly in demand from company stakeholders and customers. A study showed that 40% of consumers are more likely to choose brands with sustainable practices and values.

Rio continues to make carbon tracking data accessible to all, not just those with an Environmental Officer. While the Norwich BID project has ended, businesses can still explore Rio’s sustainability solutions to identify cost savings, provide key information to stakeholders, and work towards becoming more eco-friendly.
