Challenge
Outgrowing Manual Systems
Naylor Love has set science-based carbon reduction goals — 46% by 2030 and Net Zero by 2050. As these ambitions grew, manual spreadsheets proved inefficient and vulnerable to data entry errors.
This approach made it difficult to:
- Track detailed fleet emissions accurately
- Monitor carbon budgets by project and region
- Report comprehensively on Scope 1, 2, and emerging Scope 3 emissions
- Manage waste diversion effectively at project level
The lack of granular, accurate data limited their ability to make informed decisions — particularly around transitioning the fleet to hybrid or lower-emission vehicles.
“Before BraveGen, we were using spreadsheets, which were OK for basics, but as the company grew, it became clear we needed a more robust system.”
Jennie Watkins – Benchmarking & HSE Coordinator
Action
BraveGen implemented a centralised carbon accounting and sustainability data platform, replacing Naylor Love’s spreadsheets with an automated, highly detailed tracking system.
Automated Data Integration
BraveGen’s platform enabled Naylor Love to:
- Replace spreadsheets with a structured, centralised system
- Integrate live fleet monitoring to track fuel consumption per vehicle
- Measure and manage carbon budgets by region and by project
- Conduct Scope 1 & 2 tracking, with readiness for Scope 3
- Track waste diversion rates across all projects
Key Features Implemented
- Centralised carbon and sustainability data management
- Fleet-level emissions tracking and analysis
- Waste management dashboards
- Carbon budget monitoring by region
- Real-time reporting and visual dashboards
- Compliance readiness for Toitū Elevate certification
- Integration with existing business operations and reporting requirements
Impact
Operational Improvements
- Achieved 70% waste diversion across projects
- Fleet insights enabled transition to hybrid vehicles and phase-out planning for diesel by 2030
- Improved data accuracy and removed spreadsheet inefficiencies
- Gave regional teams ownership of emissions targets via dashboards
- Increased capacity for Scope 3 reporting ahead of regulatory demands
“Our fleet is one of the biggest contributors to our carbon footprint. BraveGen’s ability to track fuel consumption at the individual vehicle level has been a game-changer.”
Pete Lockhart – General Manager
“One of the things I’m most proud of is the carbon dashboards. They allow us to track performance against carbon budgets more effectively.”

What’s Next
Naylor Love will:
- Expand sustainability reporting to include full Scope 3 emissions
- Continue optimising their vehicle fleet for lower emissions
- Use BraveGen’s detailed dashboards to embed carbon management into every project
“Scope 3 is going to be a big challenge, but we’re prepared. Thanks to BraveGen, we’re set up to navigate that over the next year.”
