VetSalus has just launched a new climate tool designed to make it easier for veterinarians to report climate data. This tool helps veterinarians meet the demands for climate data from partners, creditors, and customers – particularly relevant for livestock veterinarians who need to provide data to farmers participating in climate audits.
The new Carbon Calculator from the international veterinary organisation VetSalus, developed in partnership with Vet Sustain, has been launched in Denmark as the second country in the world. This climate tool calculates the carbon footprint of a veterinary practice using industry-specific data. It can calculate 'scope 1' and 'scope 2' emissions and provides an easy-to-read report that can be used with banks, partners, customers, or for reporting data to authorities.
The tool incorporates veterinary-specific key figures for electricity, consumption, travel, and water, based on typical veterinary operations. This makes it simpler and more straightforward for practice owners to manage their climate data. Practices can also benchmark themselves against other practices both nationally and internationally.
Advice on how individual practices can address their climate data is also available, including suggestions on how to reduce their environmental impact.
The Danish Veterinary Carbon Calculator will be available from 10th June via the Vet Sustain website.
