Automated Carbon Reduction Target Progress Digest
Every Monday, WebRun opens Persefoni, reads your net-zero and Science Based Targets reduction milestones, compares them against your current emissions figures, and posts a progress digest to Slack with a running tally per target. It also appends a row to a Google Sheets history log so you can track trend over time.
How do I track progress against our net-zero and carbon reduction targets automatically?
WebRun opens Persefoni every Monday, reads your net-zero and Science Based Targets milestones, calculates how far ahead or behind each target is against the required trajectory, and posts a ranked digest to Slack. It also appends a weekly row to Google Sheets so you can track trend over time for board reporting.
- Your team sees the exact gap against each target every Monday without logging into Persefoni
- Targets that are falling behind are flagged immediately so you can intervene early
- A running trend log in Google Sheets is ready for quarterly reviews without extra data work
