Modern manufacturing companies have various challenges and concerns when it comes to managing their carbon footprint and emissions outputs. 

Compliance:  Manufacturing processes are often significant contributors to greenhouse gas emissions and other pollutants, resulting in many governments and regions imposing strict regulations and emissions targets on manufacturing companies. Failing to comply with these regulations can result in fines, legal liabilities, and reputational damage. 

Reputation: Consumers, investors, and stakeholders are becoming increasingly conscious of environmental issues. Manufacturing companies with a poor environmental record may face public backlash and reduced consumer trust. 

Supply chain demands: Many supply chain partners, original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), and customers now prioritize sustainability as part of their operations. To maintain and attract business relationships, manufacturing companies often need to meet specific sustainability standards and/or provide evidence of their emissions reduction efforts. 

Data collection and reporting: Collecting accurate data on emissions from various sources within the company can be complex and resource-intensive. Additionally, manufacturers need to adhere to various reporting frameworks, such as GRI, ISSB, and CDP in their sustainability reporting.
