“For example, when we look at carbon offsets or renewable energy credits, we always seek solutions incorporating environmental justice. And we collaborate with our Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) to leverage our social impact and ESG programs, such as our Equal Air Project.”
“Watershed enabled Square to build a powerful and deeply specific climate action program literally from scratch: global carbon audits, strategic implementation, and investor-grade reporting. They move fast and with precision which has been a perfect alliance. I consider them our long-term, end-to-end sustainability partners."
“Creating a truly sustainable company has been part of our vision since the very beginning,” he says. “For us, sustainability is really about three things: it's about people, it's about the planet, and it's about profit. You need to make sure that all three of those things are working together in order to make a truly sustainable organization that's going to be around in 100 years, and also has a planet to exist on in 100 years.”
“We wanted to take an active role by calculating carbon intensity of revenue and then creating a roadmap of reductions based on detailed operational data to reach net zero.”
"Just start somewhere, and embrace technology.”
“We chose Watershed because it felt like it could help solve several challenges in one product, versus needing to onboard several expensive consultants and engage with different providers. Having our end-to-end climate program in one platform has driven efficiencies and saved me time, and the hands-on support from the team has been invaluable.”
“At Kroll, our experts provide our clients with data-tested analysis to stay ahead of the most complex business challenges—and we expect our internal ESG strategies to be backed by the same type of rigorous analysis. We needed a strong SaaS program with vetted systems and methodologies to help form a strong climate strategy, and Watershed fit that bill."
"We’re proud of our ESG work and with Watershed’s support, our reporting is more efficient and accurate.”
“We are grateful for Watershed’s longtime advocacy for permanent carbon removal and their early support of Charm as a supplier in the Watershed Marketplace since 2021. They’ve been a significant entry point to permanent carbon removal for many companies, and we’re thrilled to continue our deep partnership through our engagement with Frontier."
“We love to dig into the methodology of what we’re doing with climate. Watershed’s Climate Advisors and Carbon Data experts have been really helpful in understanding the right way to approach some of our calculations. The partnership feels very custom to our needs.”
“Within 6 months, Watershed measured two years of our carbon footprint, supported our submission to SBTi, and helped us create a reduction plan that will get us to net zero.”
“We're doing a lot of tests and pilots, and we're seeing some really promising results that both reduce emissions and bring value to other parts of our business—which is really, really important to getting buy-in to build the lasting programs that actually shift the way we operate and get integrated into the business.”
"Given the increasing cost of carbon, this is hard-dollar cost avoidance – something that procurement teams can get very excited about."
“You don’t have to have a baked plan to start the [emissions measurement] process, but you can’t change what you don’t measure. Watershed’s platform has really made it fun and easy for us to dissect and double click into our data with the functional leaders across the organization to learn and tell new stories.”
"The Watershed team helped make the emissions measurement feel more approachable, and helped us channel our energy into concrete goals."
