Plum Data Sustainability Index

Plum Data正在为假日公园和露营行业创建一个客观的可持续性指数。该行业没有有意义的可持续性衡量标准。这一点很重要，因为Covid-19及其带来的变化最终明确了公园企业需要与当地社区以积极的方式发展，并走上对环境产生积极影响的道路。如果做不到这一点，将日益损害企业有效运营、获得变革和发展许可、获得资金和吸引理想客户的能力。该指数将帮助企业和整个行业衡量自己的现状，规划必要的发展，并将信息传达给利益相关者，后者将更能区分有意义的事实和“漂绿”。该行业具有天然优势，这意味着这种方法可以加强其相对地位并确保长期生存能力。我们将制定客观的指标，真实地反映每个园区和企业的可持续发展业绩。”整体指数将由一些特定的子指数组成，这些指数由相关且易于由行业运营商报告的数据驱动。它不应依赖于调查或一次性研究，也不应依赖于对孤立增强的特别认可。数据收集将是连续/定期的，并尽可能自动化或轻松地进行，我们将以园区、集团、地区、分行业和行业为基础在线提供输出。就像Plum的核心商业性能产品一样，会员将能够看到他们自己的性能数据，以及他们相对于同行和行业相关部分（也许还有其他部门）的现状和发展。比较器数据将被匿名化和汇总。我们对可持续性的初步定义衡量了企业及其客户对*环境*社区的影响环境包括与以下方面相关的影响：*能源*废物和污染（前两个将包括运输和现场影响）*水*食物*生物多样性/自然资本*这些包括现有的影响加上新的影响，如额外的PPE，包装，建筑环境包括住宿生命周期*交通*社区包括*当地就业*经济效益*积极互动*还可能包括员工、客户和社区的健康和福祉。该项目利用了梅数据公司已经获得的私人投资，它是一个创新的在线b2b软件即服务业务，收集来自假日公园行业业务的标准化原始商业数据，并将其转换为独特的自动市场基准管理决策数据。现有的商业活动和资产数据将被添加到项目生成的新的可持续性数据中，以便将可持续性指数置于有效推动Covid-19复苏和持续可持续性改进所需的背景下。

Plum Data is creating an objective sustainability index for the holiday park and camping sector.The sector has no meaningful sustainability measurement. That matters because Covid-19 and change resulting from it have finally brought into stark clarity the need for park businesses to develop forward in a positive way with their local communities and to embark on the route towards positive environmental impact. Failure to do so will increasingly damage business's ability to operate effectively, gain permission for change and development, secure funding and attract desired customers. The index will help businesses and the sector as a whole to measure where they are now, plan their necessary evolution and communicate their messages to stakeholders who will more distinguish meaningful facts from greenwashing. The sector has natural advantages that mean this approach can strengthen its relative position and secure long term viability.We will create an objective index that realistically reflects the sustainability performance of each park and business. The overall index will consist of a number of specific sub-indices driven by data that is relevant and easily reported by sector operators. It is not to be reliant on surveys or one-off studies or ad hoc recognition of isolated enhancements. The data collection will be continuous/regular and as automated or otherwise effortless as possible, and we will provide the outputs online on a park, group, region, subsector and industry basis. Just as with Plum's core commercial performance products, members will be able to see their own performance data, and how they stand and are evolving relative to peers and relevant parts of the industry (and perhaps other sectors). The comparator data will be anonymised and aggregated.Our initial definition of sustainability measures the impact a business and its customers have on* The environment* The communityThe environment includes impact related to:* Energy* Waste & pollution (those first two will include transport as well as on-site impacts)* Water* Food* Biodiversity / Natural Capital* These include existing impacts plus new ones such as extra PPE, packaging, plastic waste and non-use of public transport due to Covid-19Built-environment including accommodation life-cycle* Transport* Community includes* Local employment* Economic benefit* Positive interaction* It may also include health and wellbeing of staff, customers and communityThis project leverages the private investment already made into Plum Data, which has been built as an innovative online b2b software-as-a-service business to collect standardised raw commercial data from holiday park sector businesses, which it transforms into unique automatically market-benchmarked management decision data. That existing commercial activity and asset data will be added to the new sustainability data generated by the project to put the sustainability index into the context it needs usefully drive Covid-19 recovery and continuing sustainability improvements.
