How Doxa cuts through the carbon chaos: Simplifying embodied carbon calculations

In today’s interconnected world, environmental sustainability stands as a cornerstone for organisations striving to balance growth with responsible stewardship. Yet, many companies are overwhelmed by the challenge presented by this balancing act.

We recognise the challenges these companies face. This article delves into how Doxa can be a part of solving these challenges faced by many companies.

At Doxa, environmental sustainability isn’t just a buzzword; it’s a guiding principle ingrained in our operations. Leveraging digitalisation and data management, we streamline processes to minimise our environmental footprint. By embracing digital workflows, we reduce paper consumption and enhance efficiency, demonstrating our commitment to sustainability through action.

Doxa Connex is a platform that we offer to companies to practically put environmental sustainability into action and not just words.

A big part of environmental sustainability in the built environment sector is the Embodied Carbon calculation. In fact, governments around the world are pushing for this calculation and making it mandatory reporting to be effective as early as 2025, as evident in the EU Taxonomy. The complex calculation is even more daunting when you consider the amount of data and effort required to perform them effectively.

With Doxa Connex, working with Razer’s Restorify, we believe the best approach forward is by taking the life cycle approach towards measuring carbon footprint.

Doxa Connex automates the calculations of Embodied Carbon, enabling real-time tracking and reporting of carbon emissions associated with purchased goods. When the procurer and suppliers key into the required datasets, Doxa Connex applies an activity-based approach to modelling what the emissions are like for our customers. Through such initiatives, we strive to set new benchmarks for environmental stewardship.

Our first use case will be within the construction industry. By using Doxa Connex for your procurement workflow, starting from purchase requests through goods receipts, embodied carbon calculation happens automatically and is allocated to the right categories under your organisation’s Scope 3 reporting standard.

With a measurable life-cycle approach, partners have a dependable platform to ensure quantifiable reporting instead of vague claims running into the risks of greenwashing.

Our solution is validated as we are an official partner with SGTraDex in its green and sustainable trade finance. With SGTraDex, Doxa Connex is able to push data seamlessly to all participating financial institutions.

We are seeking future independent audits for our solution and will be moving towards supporting a net zero vision for our built environment sector. By using the activity-based approach, we endeavour to encourage our partners to set ambitious goals and utilise dashboards to track progress transparently.  Sustainability is a collective movement requiring collaboration across stakeholders.

As such, we are working closely with multiple market leaders to not only provide a technological solution but also provide incentives in the area of green trade financing.

Through strategic alliances with financial institutions, we facilitate green financing and sustainable trade finance, fostering a culture of environmental stewardship beyond organisational boundaries.

In conclusion, Doxa hopes to be your preferred partner in the collective efforts of every company to make a move to net zero a success. It may be a chore for many, but we can help in making it less painful.

Let us help you and your companies in this journey to drive a positive impact on our world. We invite you to join us in this collective pursuit of a greener, more sustainable world.
