NGO CimpactPro Solutions for the Industry

How can CSOs lead the fight against climate change?

Civil society organizations are the carriers of not only social transformation but also environmental awareness. Leading by example in the fight against climate change creates the most powerful impact to mobilize society. CimpactPro CORP enables CSOs to calculate and report their operational carbon footprint and use this data effectively in training, campaigns and awareness raising activities. In this way, organizations become implementers and pioneers, not just tellers.

What are the sustainability needs of CSOs?

• Most civil society organizations want to measure the carbon impact of their office, field activities, transportation and procurement processes. But collecting and reporting this data often requires time and expertise.
• CimpactPro CORP simplifies this process for NGOs.
• Data is collected with easy interfaces, the system automatically calculates according to GHG Protocol and ISO 14064 standards, and the results are received in simple report formats.

Why should CSOs conduct sustainability studies?

• Credibility and setting an example: CSOs that measure their carbon footprint and share a commitment to reduce it gain trust from the public and donors.
• Concrete indicator of social responsibility: A corporate carbon report makes sustainability policies measurable.
• Awareness raising tool: CSOs can spread the carbon reduction culture through their members and volunteers.
• Funding and cooperation opportunities: International organizations more easily partner with CSOs with high environmental accountability.

What are the risks for CSOs?

• Appearing active in the fight against climate change but not managing their own organizational impacts can undermine credibility.
• Unreported emissions create the problem of "unquantifiable impact" in social responsibility projects.
• In addition, international funders now require carbon management indicators in the application process.
• If CSOs do not initiate this transformation in time, they risk falling behind in access to funding and collaboration networks.

How does CimpactPro support CSOs in this regard?
