Case Study: University of West London calculates first in-house carbon footprint with Sweep

The University of West London calculates its first in-house carbon footprint with Sweep

The University of West London, one of the UK's top 30 universities, had ambitious decarbonization targets but found that its manual methods with external consultants were insufficient for accurately calculating its carbon footprint and plotting its journey to net zero. To overcome this challenge, the university chose the sustainability data management software from Sweep.

Sweep implemented its platform, providing a tailored onboarding process and support with data uploads and dashboard design. This enabled the university's team to calculate its first in-house carbon footprint with ease, a report that was praised by external auditors for its quality. The detailed reports and planning tools from Sweep empowered the university to identify emissions hotspots and confidently inform its Net Zero Carbon Action Plan.
