The Carbon Insights feature on the KEY ESG platform lets you explore your greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions data in detail, offering insights into emissions across different scopes and locations. This helps your organisation make data-driven decisions and develop strategies for reducing your carbon footprint.
How to use the Carbon Insights feature
Accessing Carbon Insights: navigate to the 'Carbon insights' section under the 'Analytics' tab on the left-hand menu. You'll see the 'GHG emissions summary' dashboard, giving an overview of total Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions, both market-based and location-based.
Explore different emission scopes: use the tabs at the top to view Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3 emissions individually, helping you identify the largest contributors to your carbon footprint.
Filtering data by entities: the 'Filter entities' drop-down lets you filter emissions data by specific sites or operational units. If you have entity-level targets set, the target line on your charts updates automatically to reflect your filter.
Visualising emission data: a bar chart shows total GHG emissions (market-based) across the last three years, and another chart breaks emissions down by individual entity, making it easy to spot your highest emitters.
Comparison and trend analysis: track your emissions performance over time, and compare market-based vs location-based data to understand the impact of renewable energy purchases or energy-saving measures.
Benefits of the Carbon Insights feature
Holistic view of emissions: a comprehensive summary of Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions across your organisation.
Data-driven decision-making: filter by entity to identify key areas contributing to emissions and target reduction strategies.
Track progress and trends: visualise improvements over time and assess the effectiveness of your reduction initiatives.
Conclusion
Carbon Insights is an essential tool for understanding and managing your GHG emissions. By providing a detailed, customisable view of emissions data, it helps you make informed decisions, monitor progress, and take meaningful action towards your sustainability goals.
