Less CO2 Emissions
Reason for Engaging DeepFathom: To address these issues, the company adopted a blended auditing approach. By reducing onsite audit days and integrating digital behavioural assessments, they aimed to cut costs and emissions while maintaining compliance.
Approach: The traditional 5-day audit involved travel, accommodation, office time, and printed reports, resulting in significant carbon emissions. By switching to a 2.5-day blended audit, combining remote assessments with on-site visits, they reduced both the environmental impact and the need for travel and office resources.
Impact:
Carbon Emissions: The traditional 5-day audit produced 711.97 kg of CO₂. The blended 2.5-day audit reduced emissions to 690.63 kg, cutting over 21 kg of CO₂.
Cost Efficiency: The traditional audit cost £2,871.36. The blended audit reduced costs to £1,745.72.
By adopting a blended approach, the company reduced emissions, lowered costs, and increased ROI to over 150%. This case demonstrates how digital tools and behavioural assessments can streamline audits, reduce environmental impact, and deliver significant financial benefits.
