PayFit, a company dedicated to simplifying payroll management for businesses, was seeking to understand and reduce its carbon footprint. The company wanted to evaluate the share that digital technology could have in its carbon emissions and commit to a climate-friendly business strategy. PayFit was faced with the challenge of conducting an initial Greenhouse Gas (GHG) assessment to understand its environmental impact better. The company was also interested in earning its first badge towards a Net Zero trajectory. However, PayFit was torn between two options for conducting the carbon assessment: a consultancy firm or a start-up solution like Greenly. While consultancy firms offered detailed analysis and support, they were more expensive and time-consuming. On the other hand, start-ups stood out for their speed.

PayFit decided to integrate Greenly's solution to carry out its initial GHG assessment. Greenly's start-up solution was chosen for its speed and ability to provide a quick overview of PayFit's environmental impact. The assessment allowed PayFit to identify its main emission items and understand the importance of Scope 3 emissions, which are not currently mandatory to assess. The assessment also revealed that the second most significant emissions item was Digital, given PayFit's offering of Software as a Service (SaaS). The company was surprised by the low percentage of emissions that travel occupied, a result linked to the reduced use of transport due to the 2020 context. PayFit is now working on defining an action plan to reduce its emissions. The company intends to involve managers for each major emission item and work together with the departments concerned to define possible and impactful reduction actions.
