Advanced Green Tech for Sustainability & Compliance
VisionGreen, a leading consultancy specialising in environmental and sustainability services, is dedicated to helping businesses achieve their sustainability goals. With a focus on innovative solutions and comprehensive consultancy services, VisionGreen empowers organisations to measure, manage, and improve their environmental impact.
What was the requirement?
VisionGreen needed an innovative solution to help companies register, track, and improve their environmental impact and sustainability practices.
They sought to develop a robust portal for measuring carbon footprints, generating SDG (Sustainable Development Goals) reports, and managing other environmental goals. The portal had to offer detailed assessments, easy data integration, and insightful reports.

A few key issues!
Difficulty in measuring and managing carbon footprints and SDG compliance.
The need for detailed and actionable environmental reports.
Providing companies with tools to track and improve their sustainability goals.
Our Solution
We developed a comprehensive portal that integrates advanced IoT and AI technologies to help companies assess their environmental impact and meet their sustainability goals. The portal includes tools for SDG assessment, carbon footprint measurement, and more.
We integrated cutting-edge hardware with a robust, user-friendly software application designed to fetch, record, and analyse real-time data, enhancing the efficiency and accuracy of the entire process.
SDG Assessment Tool
The SDG assessment tool is designed to guide users through a four-step process. At every evaluation step, users will required to explain their priority within 200 words.
Select Goals
Users select 3 out of the 17 UN SDGs relevant to their business.
Environmental Evaluation
Rate priority of carbon footprint and biodiversity in terms of business relevance (Low, Medium, High).
Social Evaluation
Rate the priority of community impact in terms of business relevance (Low, Medium, High).
Governance Evaluation
Rate the priority of fraud, corruption, and money laundering in terms of business relevance (Low, Medium, High).
Upon submission, a detailed report is generated with graphs and action lists for each step. Companies can set and track goals to improve their sustainability practices.
Carbon Footprint Assessment Tool
The carbon footprint assessment tool guides users through three detailed steps, enabling comprehensive tracking and management of carbon emissions. This structured approach ensures that all relevant data is captured, analyzed, and reported effectively.
General Information
Number of buildings, plants, products, raw material sources, and locations.
Logistics and Data Quality
Questions related to employee commuting, business travel, utility data ranking, own warehousing units, and third-party warehousing units.
Carbon and Sustainability
Generic info questions about on-site sustainability resources, project scope, and recommendations needed.
Users can upload data manually or via Excel, as the tool is engineered to fetch data from Excel sheets.
Detailed questions about Scope 1 (e.g., LPG, petrol), Scope 2 (e.g., electricity), and Scope 3 (e.g., business travel, waste) consumption.
After submission, the tool generates a comprehensive report with pie charts, graphs, and key insights such as total emissions, primary emission sources, and the number of trees required to offset the carbon footprint. Carbon intensity per employee is also calculated.

Year-wise Reports
Users can view and download reports for different years.
User Dashboard
A holistic view of assessments, enabling users to book consultations via the portal.
