We tackled two sections of Aktio's product platform. First, we updated the forms that allow Aktio's clients to to set their carbon emissions objectives. For this, we created a brand new visual that changes while a user is completing the questionnaire. We then designed a dashboard that shows emissions against the expected objective over time, broken down by category. As there was quite a lot of data to show, we opted for multiple charts in one dashboard screen to reduce cognitive overload.
After designing this first high-level overview, we dove deeper into visualising carbon emissions from different angles. We created a dashboard that allows companies to not only see their emissions for a given year, but to also quickly identify what factors contribute to them the most. The first screen of the dashboard shows total emissions and some company-specific KPIs. The readers attention is then drawn to the biggest emitters per category, which they can explore in detail in the customisable Sankey chart.
