“We use CEDA in our Scope 3 emissions because the level of granularity and coverage offered by CEDA makes us feel more confident about how we represent our global procurement and operations in our annual reporting.”
"The scope of change and level of collaboration required is enormous."
“We’re past the era of broad statements about a correlation between business and climate. Instead, we’re helping our portfolio companies build a data-driven case for working on climate. We believe decarbonization can have ROI, whether from energy savings, selling products and services into companies with net zero requirements for suppliers, or something else.”
“Watershed helps me quickly answer what we’re doing, how we’re doing it, and what progress we’ve made. I feel confident we are ahead of the curve.”
“We want people to keep travelling as needed, but through our principles we are trying to get travellers to think differently before they put in a request. For instance, can they combine multiple meetings into one trip? We are excited to show our employees how their decisions are directly recognized within the footprint.”
“A lot of companies are approaching their legal or social impact teams and saying, ‘You're now our environmental expert, go learn!’ We’re thankful to have Watershed as a partner to help us learn and make the right choices for our business."
“Watershed’s platform and expert advice helped us lay the groundwork for our sustainability work and will help us ensure we are on track to hitting our goals, reporting to critical stakeholders, and continuing to be an ESG leader in our industry.”
"Given the increasing cost of carbon, this is hard-dollar cost avoidance – something that procurement teams can get very excited about."
“While we educate ourselves and do lots of research, much of the value of Watershed comes from the access it provides to expertise and research—it puts informed decision-making within reach for our team.”
“We're not just offsetting emissions today—we're investing in climate technologies that can scale exponentially tomorrow.”
“Watershed makes it easy to see the impact of things like employees’ flight and lodging choices—showing, for example, how two nights at one hotel compare to a single night at another. It’s incredibly helpful to have that level of insight at our fingertips.”
“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."
“ESG is professionalizing. It used to be a nice-to-have, and now it’s firmly in the CEO’s office. Watershed is helping Carlyle make that transition.”
"We're excited to work with Watershed on our goal to cut carbon intensity in half and become carbon neutral by 2027. Watershed gives us the data to focus on the most effective initiatives and tools to bring farmers, growers and partners along on the journey."
“Watershed makes us feel very supported and the data we see in the tool makes the process of decarbonization, which can feel very complex and not tangible, more approachable.”
