ESG SaaS for CO2 reduction
High-stakes CO₂ reduction planning for enterprise-scale sustainability compliance.
A B2B sustainability platform designed to move enterprise companies from static spreadsheets to active decarbonization. The system manages high-stakes regulatory data and multi-departmental targets, translating complex CO2 metrics into a boardroom-ready strategic roadmap. My role focused on reducing "calculation paralysis" and ensuring data integrity for audit-heavy compliance environments.
Process
Domain Translation: Facilitated workshops with climate scientists to turn raw formulas into intuitive UI logic.
Research: Run 10+ interviews for validating product value and problem definition, accompanied by surveys and Sales+Customer Success feedback.
System Scalability: Engineered a modular architecture to accommodate for multi-level permissions and user tasks hand-off.
Audit-Ready UX: Built "traceable" data flows to ensure transparency for high-stakes compliance audits.
Challenge
The Problem: Enterprise users faced "calculation paralysis" when setting multi-departmental targets. The Risk: Inaccurate reporting led to compliance failure and board-level distrust.
Approach
Decision: Implemented Progressive Disclosure to serve both novices and experts. Execution: Engineered board-ready exports to reduce "Time-to-Meeting" for managers.
Solution
A modular reduction planner featuring guided onboarding, multi-user collaboration, and automated compliance reporting.
Impact
Increased adoption among novice managers and delivered board-actionable reports that accelerated CO₂ target approvals.
