Focus on Precision
The decision to switch to Calculate was not taken lightly. H2 Entreprenad has done thorough preparatory work and analyzed the system in detail.
“We’ve been in discussions with the team at Plant for three to four months, during which we’ve gone over every detail and developed a strong confidence in the data quality,” says Sanna Norén, Sustainability Manager at H2 Entreprenad.
Being able to work in a traceable and transparent manner has been crucial, as H2 is committed to taking responsibility and leading the way in reducing the carbon footprint of every project.
“Access to accurate climate data is an extremely critical business issue as regulations tighten and emission caps are introduced. With Plant, we can view the raw data and understand how the figures are connected. This is important for us, our clients, and for quality assurance,” says Rikard Hansson, CEO of H2 Entreprenad.
From self-monitoring to trust
After several years of doing their own calculations in Excel and growing frustrated with the lack of precision and comparability in other tools, H2 Entreprenad has decided to implement Plant Calculate as a long-term solution.
“We’ve tried other tools, but found that the results didn’t add up in the end when it came to the CO₂ figures. With Calculate, we can see that the technology is finally where it needs to be,” Rikard notes.
Conducting internal climate calculations has been time-consuming, but necessary in order to compare projects long before the software was available, explore different solutions, and learn early on where H2 can create the most effective solutions and how we need to influence our value chain.
“We’ve been using our own Excel solution, but it takes an enormous amount of time to maintain, and things are only going to get more complex from here on out,” says Sanna.
Climate action gains momentum when more people can understand and contribute
Climate calculations are not an isolated function within the company. Twenty employees at H2 Entreprenad will be using Plant Calculate, ranging from the sustainability manager and procurement staff to project managers and the CEO.
“Knowledge needs to be embedded throughout the entire organization. We appreciate that Calculate is practical and easy to understand for both project managers and buyers, who can grasp the consequences of their decisions,” says Rikard Hansson.
Calculate will also streamline communication with clients, thanks to its client view and the ability to conduct ongoing progress reviews throughout the project.
“The client view enables clear coordination and allows our clients to track the process, step by step, from the early stages through to follow-up. It will save time for everyone,” Sanna notes.
Peace of Mind with Plant
For H2 Entreprenad, it has been crucial to choose a tool and a partner they can trust, where data is traceable and transparent.
“You’ve built up a solid customer base, and we feel confident in the partnerships you’ve already established, such as your connection with Byggvarubedömningen. Plant is a third-party provider for us that brings structure, transparency, and reliability to our climate data work,” Rikard concludes.
