Core Features
Sector-Specific Emissions Categories:
MEASURE models emissions sources unique to the art sector:
Artwork shipping and logistics
Courier travel
Business travel and events
Gallery and museum energy use
Materials for exhibitions and programming
Simplified Data Input & Guided Workflows:
The platform offers structured forms, default emissions factors, and pre-set activity categories that reduce complexity for users unfamiliar with carbon accounting. It is designed for accessibility across organisations of all sizes.
Emissions Baseline Creation:
MEASURE helps institutions create a baseline emissions inventory across Scope 1, Scope 2, and selected Scope 3 categories relevant to art operations.
Reduction Planning & Sector Benchmarks (GCC Framework):
The tool aligns with GCC’s target of a 50 percent emissions reduction by 2030. Users can compare their own activity categories year-over-year and track progress toward institutional climate goals.
Data Export & Reporting Support:
Results can be exported to support sustainability reporting, climate-action planning, grant requirements, or internal governance processes.
Free Access for the Global Art Community:
MEASURE is openly accessible, supporting GCC’s mission to democratize climate-action tools in the arts.
Plans & Pricing
MEASURE is free of charge. There are no commercial tiers. This aligns with GCC’s not-for-profit structure and mission to remove financial barriers to climate action.
Integrations
MEASURE does not integrate with external ERP, accounting systems, or ESG platforms. It is built as a focused, standalone data entry and emissions-calculation tool for the arts.
Certifications & Alignment
While MEASURE is not a certified carbon-accounting platform, it is aligned with:
Greenhouse Gas Protocol principles
GCC’s own climate-target framework (50% reduction by 2030)
Best-practice emissions factors relevant to logistics, travel, and energy use
Institutions requiring high-rigour ESG disclosures may use MEASURE data as inputs, but would still need enterprise-grade reporting systems.
Customers & Use Cases
Primary Users:
Art galleries
Museums and cultural institutions
Nonprofits and arts foundations
Art fairs
Logistics providers serving the art market
Use Cases:
Measuring emissions from artwork shipping
Assessing the climate impact of exhibitions and programming
Tracking operational emissions of galleries and museums
Supporting climate-action planning and public sustainability commitments
Closing Insights
MEASURE is a highly accessible solution that addresses a gap in the sustainability software landscape: sector-specific emissions tools for cultural institutions. The platform’s greatest strengths are its simplicity, focus, and relevance to art-sector workflows such as shipping, exhibitions, and travel. It does not offer automation, integrations, or enterprise-grade reporting, but it excels at enabling climate action in a sector that often lacks carbon-accounting resources.
For museums, galleries, or cultural organisations beginning their decarbonisation journey, MEASURE provides a practical and purpose-built starting point.
