Siva: How to build trust in climate data across 100+ Companies

One platform, trusted estimates, and zero wasted effort

Partnering with Morescope provided Siva with a much-needed solution: a hybrid approach to carbon accounting that could automate data gathering from many sources and fill in gaps with science-based estimates. In short, it gave Jonas Sand Hansen, Group Accounting Manager, and his team one unified platform for their climate footprint. Jonas highlights a few key reasons this approach worked for Siva:

‍

• One common source for 100+ companies: “We needed to gather data from many companies and have it converted to one file in a common format. That’s what Morescope solved for us,” Jonas explains. Rather than dealing with spreadsheets and reports from subsidiaries operating in different systems, Siva  now has all activity in one standardized dataset. This was a game-changer for a portfolio where, as Jonas notes, “many of the companies operated in different ways and used a variety of systems".  Morescope’s platform did the heavy lifting of structuring and standardizing data across Siva’s complex organization.

‍

• Credible estimates - even for auditors: Coming from an auditing background, Jonas is used to rely on hard data and exact figures. The use of modelled calculations is never done without a critical eye. Morescope’s data engine, however, quickly proved its worth. By matching Siva’s data (like spend and usage) with robust emissions factors, the platform generated carbon estimates that aligned very closely with reality - and with Jonas’s high standards. Confidence grew as the sources behind the estimates were reviewed and automated data began to flow in. “Even I, as an auditor, have trust in the estimates, that says a lot,” he states. For Siva, having emissions figures that are credible (even if not every data point is manually measured) is preferable to having no data at all, or spending months trying to collect and compile it.

‍

• Low manual load, high internal ownership: “It would have been a massive job to do this ourselves. With Morescope everything is standardized and structured, allowing us to better utilize our time” Jonas says. Instead of pouring hours into Excel and email follow-ups, Jonas’s team can now focus on analysis and strategy. The platform automates data collection where possible and streamlines the rest, reducing climate reporting from months to minutes. Equally important, Siva achieved this without expensive external consultants or expanding headcount. Jonas and one other colleague manage the process internally. “Carbon accounting work doesn’t need more people; it needs better tools,” as Morescope’s own mantra goes . By choosing a tech-driven solution, Siva avoided unnecessary cost and complexity, saving resources for actual climate action rather than admin.

With a unified, trustworthy dataset in hand, the benefits don't stop at Siva’s corporate office. The real power of this data is realized among the very companies contributing the numbers.

A Common Language for Climate Action

Siva knew from the outset that good data wasn’t enough, it also needed to be accessible and useful. Rather than simply using the portfolio companies’ information to fill Siva’s own report, Jonas made sure everyone benefited from the exercise. “We use a carrot: those who report get a finished climate report back. It creates value for them as well,” he says.

This means that each subsidiary or partner that submit their figures into Morescope receives a tailored PDF-report outlining their own carbon accounting. For a small incubator or a regional industrial park, this is a tangible reward: they gain insight into their emissions without having to calculate it themselves. Suddenly, reporting emissions becomes less of a burden and more of a service. A feedback loop that builds motivation.

This mutual exchange has created a stronger sense of ownership and engagement with climate data across Siva’s portfolio. Each company can discuss their carbon footprint with Siva and with each other on equal footing. This enables them to compare emissions within scope 1-3 across all the different companies.

This also reinforces Siva’s internal culture of accountability. Climate reporting is no longer a top-down request, but a two-way exchange. “Some companies even reach out proactively to discuss their results,” Jonas says. What began as compliance is turning more and more into a platform for collaboration.

Importantly, Siva doesn’t see these datasets as the finish line. “We need years of data before we can do impactful comparisons. It’s about quality and direction,” Jonas emphasizes. Their approach is about building a robust backbone for climate work that is resilient enough to work long-term across a complex organization.
