Case Study: World of Books streamlines carbon data collection with Sweep

World of Books effectively streamlined carbon data collection with Sweep

World of Books, a global online seller of used books, faced the challenge of manually quantifying its carbon emissions across multiple sites as part of its goal to become carbon neutral. For a small, two-person sustainability team, tracking this data using Excel and updating government emission factors was a time-consuming and stressful process. They turned to the sustainability platform Sweep to streamline this complex task.

By implementing Sweep's software, the team automated data collection and eliminated manual entry. They utilized the platform’s customizable surveys to efficiently gather data from suppliers and used its visualization tools to map a clear path to Net Zero, aiding strategic decision-making. While specific metrics were not provided, the solution significantly reduced the administrative burden, empowered the team, and increased the accuracy of their carbon measurements as they progressed from spend-based to activity data. Sweep provided critical support throughout their sustainability journey.
