See How Overhaul is Using ENSO to Exceed Sustainability Expectations

The Challenge

Many companies are getting serious about measuring their carbon emissions and understanding the overall impact of their operations. A key aspect of this is scope three emissions, which include emissions from activities or assets that are not owned or controlled by the company up and down their value chain. Scope three can make up a significant portion of a company’s carbon footprint. A key part of scope three emissions is transport and logistics.

“For a long time, the focus has been on scope one and two emissions, but everyone is beginning to recognise the importance of addressing scope three emissions. Scope three emissions have a significant impact on organisation’s emissions. Externally, we want to be able to provide data to our customers, companies and partners that can aid them on their ESG journey and show that we are committed to our own ESG journey. Internally, we want to foster a culture of sustainability and responsibility among employees who are already curious about ESG practices” – Caoimhe O’Hare, Sustainability Champion and Assistant Project Manager at Overhaul

Because of this, Overhaul is working to provide their customers with the best information possible and to be supportive of their work to understand their total emissions. As an industry, there is still a lot of learning to be done relating to best practices for allocating and reporting emissions to customers. Overhaul’s passionate, curious team is working to figure this out, while prioritising their own internal sustainability actions.

The team at Overhaul aims to exceed expectations when it comes to their ethical responsibility to conduct their business in a sustainable manner. From their founding, the team has challenged themselves to do things better and to be the best in class for their customers, providing as much information and support as they can. Their approach to sustainability is no different, both within the organisation and in terms of customer communication.

The Solution

Much of Overhaul’s drive to have a positive impact and to progress on their sustainability journey comes from their team members. While they do get customer information requests and have seen an increase in interest in sustainability, the biggest source of momentum comes from the many sustainability champions within the organisation. These curious individuals work to share knowledge across Overhaul’s locations globally and collaborate to identify ways in which they can make a difference. Combining this passion with the ENSO platform has allowed the team at Overhaul to enhance their communication, track their progress, and identify new opportunities for action.

Key Benefits

Highlight What They Are Doing Well: When the Overhaul team first started working with the ENSO platform, they were already engaged in multiple sustainability related activities but they needed a way to bring all of it together. The ENSO platform provided them with a place to highlight their sustainability achievements and bring them all together in one place.
Identify New Opportunities: The list of impacts on the ENSO platform helped the Overhaul team to identify new potential opportunities for sustainability action. Having this list as a starting point, the team can prioritise their next actions and continue on their sustainability journey.
Transparent Communication: Using the bespoke public web page generated by the ENSO platform the Overhaul team can easily communicate their sustainability actions in a transparent manner. The visuals and clear information provide a quick way to show people their commitments and progress towards their sustainability goals.
Collaboration With the ENSO Team: Throughout their work with the ENSO platform, the Overhaul team regularly communicated and collaborated with the ENSO team. Between identifying new action areas, clarifying current questions, and knowledge sharing, the two teams were able to help Overhaul make progress with their sustainability journey and communications.

The Results

Through their collaboration with ENSO, Overhaul was able to streamline their sustainability communication, identify new opportunities, and continue to foster the passion and curiosity of their team members. The team already had an innate understanding of the scope of sustainability and the fact that it entails more than just singular actions like recycling. Their holistic approach and understanding can now be communicated both internally and externally to their relevant stakeholders.

Now and in the future, the Overhaul team will continue to progress on their sustainability journey. They will be able to continually track and communicate their progress through the ENSO platform. As they achieve more and continue to innovate, the platform will facilitate data collection and organisation, communication, and prioritisation of next steps.
