Start where impact is highest

Most organizations have a few categories, sites, or suppliers driving a majority of emissions. Hotspot analysis helps you focus on actions that move the needle.

Where hotspots usually hide

• Electricity-heavy facilities
• Shipping lanes and logistics
• Purchased goods + supplier categories
• Travel patterns and frequent routes

A practical approach

1. Rank by impact (not effort).
2. Pick 3–5 focus areas for the next quarter.
3. Track trend lines monthly and adjust.

Tip: report baseline, change over time, and top drivers—then tie actions to outcomes.
