Find out the story behind our collaboration with Ari10.
1. Who is our client - Ari10 Company
Our client is Ari10, a company that has been operating in the cryptocurrency market for eight years. Headquartered in Poznań, with additional branches in Romania, the Netherlands, Slovakia and elsewhere, Ari10 employs around 100 specialists. It offers complementary solutions for cryptocurrency exchange, catering to both individual (e.g. Ari10 Exchange) and business (e.g. Ari10 Gateway) customers. Ari10’s mission is to democratise access to cryptocurrencies and build a bridge between traditional finance and digital assets.
2. The problem to be solved
The primary motivation behind seeking a carbon footprint calculation tool was the desire to gain a transparent view of our emissions. In the long term, this would allow for the identification of areas for optimization and the reduction of environmental impact. This initiative stems from an internal sense of responsibility and the belief that sustainable development is an integral part of the company’s long-term success.
Failing to monitor and analyze the carbon footprint carries potential consequences across several areas. First, it limits Ari10’s ability to identify and minimize operational inefficiencies, which can lead to higher energy and resource-related costs. Second, in the face of growing environmental awareness among customers, partners, and investors, a lack of transparency regarding environmental impact may negatively affect Ari10’s image and competitiveness. Looking ahead, with the likely tightening of environmental regulations, insufficient preparation and lack of insight into emission levels could expose the company to additional costs related to compliance. Moreover, a lack of understanding of its own environmental impact prevents the company from actively contributing to a more sustainable future and fulfilling its social responsibility goals.
Although Ari10 is not yet subject to mandatory carbon footprint reporting, the company has taken a proactive approach to sustainability. As the organization has grown, so has the need to understand and reduce its environmental impact. Previous attempts to collect data manually proved inefficient and error-prone. The client sought a solution that would provide a reliable analysis of CO₂ emissions and support the systematic optimization of environmental efforts.
3. Why did the client choose to work with Plan Be Eco?
The decision to partner with Plan Be Eco was the result of a thorough analysis of the available solutions on the market. Ari10 was looking for a partner that could offer not only an effective carbon footprint calculation tool, but also expert support and strong engagement in implementing the environmental reporting process.
The company came across the Plan Be Eco tool during its own market research, supported by information provided on the provider’s website. Representatives from the marketing and sales departments, as well as the management board, were involved in the selection process, enabling a comprehensive evaluation of the available options.
The key factors that influenced the decision to choose Plan Be Eco included:
the comprehensive nature of the solution, covering various aspects of Ari10’s operations;
the tool’s intuitive interface, which does not require specialized knowledge;
professional expert support at every stage of the project;
positive references and Plan Be Eco’s proven experience in the industry;
flexibility and the ability to tailor the tool to the company’s specific needs.
4. Scope of cooperation
Ari10 required support in several key areas:
Organizing and structuring historical data – assistance in collecting and preparing the information necessary to calculate the company’s carbon footprint for the selected reporting year.
Carbon footprint calculation – a comprehensive assessment of CO₂ emissions, resulting in a report showing 3,704 tonnes of CO₂ equivalent, broken down by emission scopes.
Provision of an intuitive digital tool – enabling efficient, automated, and user-friendly collection, analysis, and reporting of environmental data.
Ongoing technical and expert support – providing timely answers to questions, explanations of the applied methodology, and interpretation of emission results.
Strategic and operational consulting – guidance on using the emissions data to optimize business operations and build a competitive advantage.
Education and environmental awareness – sharing knowledge about greenhouse gas emissions and their sources to support more responsible business decisions.
Flexibility and customization – tailoring the tool and scope of activities to the specific needs and expectations of Ari10.
Transparent and seamless communication throughout the project – essential for smooth implementation and fostering a strong, trust-based partnership.
5. Results
The carbon footprint calculation process carried out by Ari10, culminating in the 2024 emissions report, was completed in a relatively short time and resulted in a total of 3,704 tonnes of CO₂ equivalent. The main challenge was gathering historical data, but thanks to the professional support of the Plan Be Eco team, the entire process ran smoothly and efficiently. The involvement of Ari10’s operations and finance departments, combined with oversight from the management board and expert guidance from a dedicated Plan Be Eco team, enabled fast project delivery despite the late start.
The collaboration was described as exemplary. Ari10 particularly appreciated the seamless communication, flexibility, and Plan Be Eco’s willingness to tailor the process to the company’s specific needs. Transparent information exchange proved invaluable in an area as new and complex as carbon footprint reporting. As a result, Ari10 not only successfully completed the project but also gained a deeper level of environmental awareness.
The implemented tool significantly streamlined data collection and analysis, saving time and boosting team efficiency. Its intuitive interface and partial automation reduced the need for manual input and fostered a more systematic approach to tracking environmental indicators.
For Ari10, the calculated carbon footprint became more than just a reporting metric—it turned into a strategic asset. It strengthens the company’s image as a responsible and forward-thinking business partner, supports process and cost optimization, and provides a competitive edge in light of increasing regulatory demands. Just as importantly, working with Plan Be Eco greatly expanded Ari10’s knowledge of greenhouse gas emissions and enabled a more conscious and accountable approach to sustainability.
