MEPS Climate Calculation is the Nordic region’s first service for calculating the climate impact of property repairs. The climate calculation is available throughout the Nordics and the Baltics, and can facilitate your own sustainability work.
Greater demands on sustainability and reporting
For the Nordic insurance industry, sustainability is an increasingly important issue. Authorities require companies to report on sustainability and account for their emissions. For this, reliable data is needed, and that is where MEPS Climate Calculation comes into the picture. Maria Eriksson is a developer at CAB and driving force in the development of the climate calculation.
-In all MEPS missions, a large amount of data is collected which helps the user to analyze and streamline operations. MEPS Climate Calculation adds another dimension of knowledge that can improve sustainability work in property repair and damage management, says Maria Eriksson. We deliver data that can create an awareness of the climate impact of construction damage and guide users to make informed, more sustainable choices.
Jenny Fagerdahl, product specialist at CAB, is one of the people who started the project.
– We have regular discussions with several companies, and there is great interest in climate calculation and how it can be used in sustainability reporting.
Collboration with IVL to calculate climate impact
The climate data that is combined with the MEPS data comes from the IVL Swedish Environmental Institute. In consultation with them, CAB Group set up how the climate calculation should take place.
MEPS Climate Calculation shows a calculation of kilo carbon dioxide equivalents in each MEPS mission. You can see how many kilos of carbon dioxide equivalents different parts of the mission account for; material, energy consumption, passenger transport and material transport.
