Results at a Glance

Measured a 4,053 tCO₂e annual footprint, achieved Climate Leader certification, and built a credible sustainability story used in every major customer pitch.

The Challenge

Questionnaires arriving faster than answers could.

Sustainability questionnaires were arriving faster than Whitestone could answer them. The team needed measured emissions data, supplier coverage, and certifications they could point customers to — without hiring a full sustainability function.

The Opportunity

Sustainability wins in every major pitch.

Customers and agencies were already asking for emissions data. A credible sustainability program would not only answer those questions but also become a real differentiator in branded merchandise procurement.

Why Aclymate

One operating model covered every need.

Whitestone chose Aclymate because the platform combined carbon accounting software, expert support, certifications, and proof tools in one operating model — built for lean teams without a full sustainability department.

The Aclymate Approach

Connecting data, earning certification, building proof.

Aclymate Carbon Bookkeepers connected Whitestone's accounting and supplier data into Navigator. Sustainability Consultants organized Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions, prepared evidence for Climate Leader certification, and turned the work into customer-ready outputs.
