Tools & Resources

A free annual carbon monitoring template that we’ve been successfully carrying out since 2006. The tool is updated with the latest carbon factors and offers you the chance to input data to capture your energy data, alongside Scope 1 and 3 emissions, namely water, transportation, waste and procurement to calculate the resulting emissions. This can allow you to measure emissions against a baseline and any previous years’ data. Whereas in previous years, we would send out an individual report for you, we now also offer you a template to develop plots for your your reports. If interested, email hello@islingtonsustainability.network to get access.

Climate Essentials offers a one-stop tool that removes the legwork and demystifies the process of carbon management. ISN have teamed up with the provider to offer members a 20% discount access to the tool. The Climate Essentials’ online tool will help:

ISN applicants on the Business Climate Challenge scheme are currently monitoring their energy consumption using the IO-Gen platform. This provides an energy management platform that is designed to help businesses in tracking their energy costs and identify potential savings. This is accomplished by locating key data points such as energy, utilities, and operational information. Data is then collected (and automated where possible) and uploaded to a secure cloud storage, then into the IO-Gen Energy Management Platform.

The data is then transformed into interactive dashboards to help in quickly understanding current performance relative to a baseline year or a target. Alongside dashboards, IO-Gen’s platform includes a comprehensive set of intelligent reporting tools to help you identify waste and inefficiencies including the ability to set automated alarms, benchmarking, adding notes, and other useful tools.

The platform is available to all ISN members, if interested email hello@islingtonsustainability.network for further information.

Access to an annual personal carbon tracking tool – the aim is to share with your staff and allow them to calculate their footprint for the survey year. This has recently been revamped to take into account new remote working trends – if interested, email hello@islingtonsustainability.network to get access.

We aim to host a series of ISN member Zero Carbon seminar sessions to guide you in your carbon reduction initiatives

We also support Islington Council’s carbon calculator and pledge tool suitable for both residents and smaller businesses

We are collaborating with Islington Council in helping lead on projects to support their Net Zero 2030 Strategy
