Challenges acting quickly on their sustainability strategy
Like many businesses, Data Cubed understood that their operations had an unavoidable carbon footprint. “All businesses have a carbon footprint whether they like it or not, and we know we have a part to play” says Christian. As a company passionate about creating tangible impacts, Data Cubed wanted a straightforward and effective way to track, measure, and mitigate their emissions.
Additionally, they were seeking a solution that aligned with their commitment to accountability and transparency, one that would resonate with their clients and team and showcase Data Cubed’s efforts in addressing climate change.
Data Cubed are also an approved supplier on the New Zealand Government’s Department of Internal Affairs Marketplace in the consultancy and professional services channel for the Data and information services catalogue. Being able to demonstrate progress on the Broader Outcomes framework in this forum is important to them.
CarbonInvoice as the right solution
Easy connection to Xero accounting data
Using CarbonInvoice’s solution, they quickly gained visibility into their carbon footprint by linking their Xero accounting system. This provided them with a clear and trackable method to measure and offset emissions, making a positive impact by planting new native trees in the Greater Wellington region, New Zealand.
Christian emphasised how effortless the process was for Data Cubed to adopt: “CarbonInvoice quickly and easily gives us and our clients trackable accountability over our emissions, and by planting new native trees, we know we're having a real impact.”
The partnership allowed Data Cubed to act immediately without heavy lifting on their part, aligning perfectly with their need for an efficient and planet-positive approach.
CarbonInvoice provides Oxygen with a certification
Data Cubed is proud of its progress and Positive Business certification, ”we’ve partnered with CarbonInvoice to actively mitigate our carbon emissions. We’re taking meaningful steps today to be a positive force for tomorrow” says Christian.
Automatically funding native trees
Since April 2023 Data Cubed has been partnered with CarbonInvoice. The business has funded over 175 native trees - see their progress here.
How Rationale is benefiting
Using CarbonInvoice Data Cubed has a transparent and clear method to track their emissions and mitigate them through native tree planting initiatives. This has been key in aligning with their clients’ sustainability expectations and presenting themselves as a positive force for the environment.
Taking carbon action aligns with Data Cubed’s brand, culture and ethos. As well as funding native trees Data Cubed members of the team - Christian Redgewell and Caitlin Potter Client Success Lead joined CarbonInvoice Wellington Planting Action Day in July 2024 to plant 598 seedlings in their local community. As Christian shared “we are proud to be a Positive Business!”
Ease of the process has saved time and hassle. Christian stated, “We have been seriously impressed with not only the product but the support as well.” The ease of implementation and ongoing support has allowed Data Cubed to stay focused on their core business activities while making meaningful environmental progress.
