WellingtonNZ and Hospitality NZ are proud to introduce a fully subsidised, industry-leading carbon measurement tool for our members.  

By partnering with specialists in carbon measurement Cogo, and experts in tourism data and analytics, Vistr, this online solution provides businesses with real-time insights into their carbon footprint - empowering businesses to track, manage and reduce their carbon footprint. 

By using the Cogo platform, your business can: 

• Accurately measure your carbon emissions by integrating with your financial software to categorise spend-based emissions. 

• Identify opportunities to reduce carbon emissions and receive tailored recommendations to lower your footprint. 

• Be part of a district-wide effort, with data securely aggregated by Vistr, providing a comprehensive view of tourism’s carbon footprint.

About Cogo:

Cogo is a quick, and easy way for businesses to measure their carbon footprint. By integrating with accounting software like Xero, MYOB and Quickbooks, Cogo analyses financial transactions, categorising spending across various industries and linking each transaction to an industry-specific emissions factor. This data is then converted into a carbon emissions estimate. Businesses can monitor their carbon footprint in real-time and receive tailored insights and recommendations to reduce emissions. Recommendations are prioritised based on the areas with the greatest potential for emission reduction, helping businesses make informed decisions.

Since its inception in 2011, Cogo has helped hundreds of thousands of individual and business customers worldwide measure their emissions. It is trusted by international banks such as Kiwibank, Westpac, Natwest Group, Commonwealth Bank, and TSB.

WellingtonNZ and Hospitality NZ selected Cogo due to its user-friendly experience, innovative ways to reduce barriers in accurate carbon measurement, international reputation, alignment with global best practices, and ability to provide an aggregated district-wide carbon footprint for the industry. Compared to other tools, Cogo offers an easy, ongoing way to measure and track carbon footprints monthly, providing in-depth insights into emission trends over time.
