Measure and manage your business's carbon footprint
Vistr Carbon MANAGER Measurement Tool
Fully subsidised by Hospitality New Zealand and WellingtonNZ for members/non-members, the Vistr Carbon Manager Measurement Tool (the tool) is a time-efficient solution, providing businesses with real-time insights into their carbon footprint - empowering you to track, manage, and reduce emissions with ease.
Vistr provides the connectivity to allow regional and national insight into carbon emissions for the sector. Their portal allows all businesses to start or further optimise the way they operate through carbon measurement.
Cogo’s underlying technology analyses financial transactions and automatically categorises spending across various industries. Each transaction is linked to an emissions factor specific to the industry, and Cogo converts that transaction into a carbon emissions estimate. Businesses can track their carbon footprint in real-time and receive insights and recommended actions tailored to their business's emissions profile and industry.
