The Northern Automotive Alliance Business Awards, celebrated annually, act as a prestigious platform for honouring innovation and accomplishments within the Northern automotive sector. Representing a diverse community of over 90 member companies from across the North of England, the NAA stands as a pillar of support for the northern automotive industry and the wider supply chain.
This year, our innovative Carbon Calculator was met with praise, receiving high commendation in the Design & Innovation Award category, sponsored by McLaren Automotive. This award recognises technical design and innovation in both products and processes, with a strong emphasis on positive environmental impact, proven results and the uniqueness of the solutions introduced.
Backed by a prestigious Innovate UK grant, our part-level carbon calculator is a pivotal innovation in addressing a significant gap in green supply chain management, offering a comprehensive insight into the carbon weight of individual components and parts. Seamlessly integrated within Singlepoint, the calculator will help in assessing an organisation’s carbon footprint at various levels, including part, family of parts, work-centre, factory, and supply chain level.
It will aid manufacturers in pinpointing major emission sources and proposing alternatives for reductions. Additionally, the tool will provide in-depth comparisons against industry benchmarks and predictive analysis for forecasting carbon output during the initial stages of product development.
The judges lauded it as “an accessible tool with tremendous potential to champion industrial decarbonisation across the manufacturing sector.”
“Receiving such recognition from the NAA is a true testament to the dedication and innovation our team embodies. This commendation not only highlights the potential of our carbon calculator but also reinforces our commitment to contributing meaningfully to meeting the Net Zero challenge and creating a greener future.”
Tom Rootes, Innovation Director
