The Consultants & Contractors module enables you to use activity-based data to measure the impact of the external contractors working for your company as office or administrative jobs.
The module takes into account the following impacts: IT equipment, Commuting, Professional travel, Food, Energy, Digital and Waste. The categories are filtered depending on the methodology applied (GHG Protocol or BEGES), and to avoid double counting with other areas of your company’s assessment.
To complete this module, go to Data -> Activity Overview.
Data Requirements
This module will ask you to fill two different tabs:
Archetype: To create the different profiles of your contractors (are you providing IT equipment, are they teleworking, traveling)
Template: To fill the contractor/company name, number of days worked through the year, and link them with an archetype.
1. Upload your data
Download the data collection template as an Excel file or a Google sheet, by clicking on « Import a file »
Follow the process written in the first tab to fill the mandatory columns correctly.
Upload your template completed onto the module. A Greenly analyst will take over to compute the related carbon emissions and import the results.
2. Results
The Results page offers a clear and detailed view of the emissions from the Consultants and Contractors. You will be able to filter by Archetype, company, or others tag you would have added to the data collection template.
3. Actions
This page has been designed to help you find alternatives to reduce emissions related to your consultants and contractors. You can also go to the Actions menu and search through Greenly's library of reduction actions.
We offer 3 different approaches, each with a more or less significant impact:
Sufficiency: Reduce certain physical flows or monetary flows voluntarily if no real need.
Substitution: Substitute a process, a service, or a component with a less emissive one.
Optimization and efficiency: Optimize a process in the value chain or implement new, more efficient technologies.
