Sustainability / ESG SaaS โ€” Carbon Management Platform

Overview

Built a fully custom multi-organisation carbon management platform on CodeIgniter allowing businesses to track Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions, monitor energy consumption, set and progress net-zero targets, manage sustainability workflows across teams, and export PDF compliance reports โ€” all from a centralised dashboard with role-based admin controls.

Business Problem

Businesses facing increasing pressure to measure, report, and reduce their carbon footprint had no centralised platform to track emissions across all scopes, set net-zero targets, assign sustainability actions to teams, and generate compliance-ready reports for stakeholders โ€” leaving them reliant on spreadsheets and disconnected tools.
