The pilot phase, offered free of cost, enables Aii and participating partners to test the benchmark, collect primary data, and thereby build a credible foundation for the future publication of the Carbon and Energy Benchmark.

For brands, the pilot provides an opportunity to validate the tool’s usability and engage key suppliers through collaborative testing and feedback. For facilities, it offers the chance to actively contribute to the tool’s development by providing both qualitative and quantitative feedback, and to gain an initial indication of their energy and emissions performance.
