Case Study: Arcadis achieves streamlined, auditable ESG reporting and accelerated net‑zero progress with Sphera's SpheraCloud

Accelerating the Transition to a Net-Zero World

Arcadis, the global design and consultancy firm, needed to standardize and verify non‑financial reporting to meet ambitious net‑zero commitments (net zero across its value chain by 2035) and to simplify internal/external ESG reporting, automate data collection, ensure data integrity and meet assurance requirements. To address these challenges Arcadis selected Sphera and deployed SpheraCloud Corporate Sustainability (SCCS) as their non‑financial reporting platform.

Sphera implemented SCCS for 200 users across 750 sites, enabling Arcadis to collect NFR data for ~60 indicators and report its GHG inventory in early 2022, then add another 160 indicators (including emissions from purchased goods and services) and a Heating/Cooling Degree Day plug‑in for climate‑adjusted energy and emissions. The Sphera solution centralized primary data, improved data collection efficiency, increased confidence in data quality, and boosted transparency and traceability for external audits, while providing target/action tracking to measure progress toward Arcadis’s net‑zero goals.
