Integrating an organization within planetary boundaries requires embedding the management of environmental costs in every department (1) and throughout all products, services, projects, and processes (2), just as financial costs are managed today
This solution consists of two different modules, designed and developed by specialists in sustainability and ServiceNow. Each application works together seamlessly, delivering an integrated, end-to-end solution that can also be extended with ServiceNow's ESG module—all on a single platform!
- First module (1) is called Aguaro* made to manage organization footprint, or part of it (Department, Entity etc.)
- Second module (2) is called Ypha** made to manage footprint of projects & services or product & services.
Purpose-built for ServiceNow, those 2 modules solves the three main challenges:
- How to unlock transformation and secure sustainability goals
- Granular measurements for actionable recommendations for operations.
- Quantified actions to track over time: current, planned, and forecasted trajectories
- An area management system with automated consolidation to decentralize and delegate data collection and action plans, while ensuring effective follow-up.
- Enable operations teams to independently manage the footprint of their activities, projects, processes, products, and services
- How save time and avoid time consuming tasks with
- Various automations for data sources, consistency checks, recommendations and follow-up
- Pre-built connectors with third-party tools for seamless data imports or exports
- Plug-and-play data incl. Emission Factors, a Catalog of actions & recommendations
- A conversion system that allows one-click switching between reporting standards
- Ready-to-use and customizable dashboards by persona incl. +120 reports.
- How limit risks of compliance & reputation with
- Bilan Carbon Method® certified conformity, recognized as an EU standard of excellence in GHG accounting, fully compliant with GHG Protocol, ISO 14069, and national regulations.
- Audit-focused dashboards

*Saguaro-inspired: The saguaro is a giant cactus that can live for over a century and grow up to 600 inches tall in one of the world’s hottest deserts. This symbol demonstrates that sufficiency can lead to prosperity. That’s why we named our 1st module : AGUARO
**Hyphae-inspired : Hyphae are fine filaments forming the mycorrhizal network of fungi that extend the Saguaro's root system and increase its resilience by enabling it to access hard-to-reach nutrients and water. Sustainability comes with the most deep-rooted transformation of organisation possible. That’s why we named this 2nd module : YPHA
