Powering Production | Ep. 5 - Carbon reporting: Avoiding common pitfalls and gaining a competitive edge for manufacturers

Tritility

In this episode of Powering Production, we’re joined by James Napier, Founder of Notch, to talk about carbon reporting in manufacturing - what’s expected, what’s often misunderstood, and where businesses are getting caught out.

As customer pressure increases many manufacturers are realising that leaving carbon reporting too late creates risk, cost, and unnecessary stress. James shares where manufacturers are going wrong, what “good enough” really looks like and how better carbon and energy data can support commercial decisions, not just compliance.

We cover:

  • The most common and costly mistakes manufacturers make with SECR and Scope 3
  • Why collecting data early is better than scrambling at the last minute
  • How carbon reporting links to tenders, customer retention, and competitiveness
  • What manufacturers should prioritise when data is limited or sites are complex
  • How leading manufacturers are using carbon efficiency to stand out

If you’re responsible for sustainability, energy, operations, or reporting and want a clearer view of what’s expected now and what’s coming next, this episode is for you.

🎧 Listen now to understand how manufacturers can approach carbon reporting with confidence and avoid turning it into a last-minute headache.
