Sustainability evidence
The evidence for LEAF, without the busywork.
Sustainability frameworks like LEAF and the UKRI concordat ask labs to show they're sharing kit, reducing waste and using resources well. Gathering that evidence by hand is tedious. LevelSixLabs surfaces it from the activity you're already recording — honestly, with no invented carbon numbers.
- Operational indicators from real activity
- Equipment sharing & utilisation
- Surplus redistribution referral
- Waste records in one place
The cost of the status quo
- Sustainability evidence is gathered by hand at deadline
- No clear view of which kit is under-used
- Surplus equipment is scrapped rather than rehomed
- Waste disposal records live on paper
- Sharing happens informally and goes unrecorded
- Carbon 'calculators' produce numbers nobody can defend
How LevelSixLabs helps
Utilisation indicators
See equipment utilisation over the last 90 days against a clearly-stated capacity assumption — no black-box figures.
Sharing made visible
Shared bookings and shared-use hours are surfaced, evidencing that expensive kit is used across the team.
Spot under-used kit
Under-used equipment is flagged as a sharing or redistribution candidate, so resources don't sit idle.
Surplus redistribution
Flag surplus equipment and, if you opt in, refer it to a redistribution partner via a pre-filled email — never automatic.
Waste records
Disposal is logged with method and quantity, giving you a record to point to for waste-reduction reporting.
Framed honestly
The dashboard states on screen that these are operational indicators for LEAF/UKRI reporting — not certified carbon accounting.
See it in action
Operational signals, not invented carbon
Recorded in the real app: utilisation, shared use, under-used kit and surplus — derived from your real bookings and equipment, with the capacity assumption shown.
- Utilisation from real bookings
- Shared-use hours and surplus candidates
- No fabricated carbon figures
What changes for your lab
- Evidence is ready, not gathered at deadline
- Under-used kit becomes a sharing opportunity
- Surplus gets rehomed instead of scrapped
- Your reporting rests on defensible numbers

Sustainability evidence — common questions
Does this calculate our carbon footprint?+
No — deliberately. We don't produce certified carbon figures. The dashboard shows real operational indicators (utilisation, sharing, surplus, waste) that support your reporting.
How does it help with LEAF specifically?+
It organises the operational evidence LEAF and the UKRI concordat ask about — sharing, utilisation and waste reduction — in one place you can reference. It supports your submission; it isn't the assessment.
Where do the figures come from?+
From your real activity over the last 90 days — bookings, equipment and waste records. Utilisation uses an explicitly-stated capacity assumption shown on the page.
What is surplus redistribution?+
Flag a piece of equipment as surplus and, if your organisation opts in, refer it to a redistribution partner (e.g. UniGreenScheme) through a pre-filled email. It's opt-in and never sent automatically.
