Plum Data Sustainability Index

Plum Data正在为度假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，因为新型冠状病毒肺炎及其带来的变化终于让人们清楚地认识到，公园企业需要以积极的方式与当地社区共同发展，并走上对环境产生积极影响的道路。如果不这样做，将日益损害企业有效运作、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它们现在的位置，规划它们必要的发展，并将它们的信息传达给利益相关者，这些利益相关者将更好地区分有意义的事实和绿色清洗。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。我们将创建一个客观的指数，以真实地反映每个公园和企业的可持续发展表现。总体指数将由一些具体的分指数组成，这些分指数由相关的数据驱动，并易于由部门运营商报告。它不依赖于调查或一次性研究或对孤立增强的特别认可。数据收集将是连续/定期的，并尽可能自动化或以其他方式轻松进行，我们将在公园，集团，区域，子行业和行业的基础上在线提供输出。就像Plum的核心商业表演产品一样，会员将能够看到自己的性能数据，以及它们相对于同行和行业相关部分（也许还有其他行业）的状况和发展情况。我们对可持续发展的初步定义是衡量企业及其客户对 * 环境 * 社区的影响环境包括与以下方面有关的影响：* 能源 * 废物和污染（前两项将包括运输以及现场影响）* 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，塑料垃圾和因新冠肺炎而不使用公共交通工具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已对Plum Data进行的私人投资，Plum Data是一家创新的在线B2B软件即服务企业，旨在从度假公园部门收集标准化的原始商业数据。它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发展数据中，以将可持续发展指数纳入其所需的背景中，从而有效地推动COVID-19复苏和持续的可持续发展改善。

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.
