Connect
If you're a Kiwibank business customer, sign up to the Cogo Business Carbon Manager app by connecting your Xero account.
Your Cogo account will be generated using your Xero transactional data, based on information such as how much your business spends on electricity and fuel.

Categorise
Once you're in the app, you can categorise your top suppliers based on your spend. For example, your spend at a petrol station will need to be assigned to a category such as 'company vehicles' so the Cogo app knows that this transaction was made because you refuelled your company fleet.

Measure
The Business Carbon Manager app uses categories attached to your transactions to measure your business’ carbon footprint. It does this by assigning an emissions factor (based on the amount of carbon emissions) to each dollar spent.
