Configure your carbon metrics
Now you can choose your method to calculate emissions. You can select from the KEY ESG calculators, or the direct entry of emissions.
The KEY ESG calculator is the recommended method as they provide the most granular and accurate method to calculate your emissions, which caters for almost any data type that your organisation has. By selecting this method, you can see the various datapoints included in each metric – these have been broken down into datapoints to facilitate data collection and submission, and they are aligned with the Greenhouse Gas Protocol. For any data points that are not applicable to your business, you will be able to opt out of them.
The direct entry method is available if you have calculated your emissions externally with a third-party, such as a consultant. By selecting this method, you will need to provide an overall value of carbon emissions for the entire Scope (Scope 1, 2 or 3), and it is not broken down into datapoints. This method is less granular than the KEY ESG calculator method, and depending on the source of your calculated emissions, less accurate too.
Viewing carbon data in Reports
After you have configured your carbon metrics, you can view the results in "Reports".
Note on data entry methods in Reports
If a user has not selected any Data Entry method, all rows will display as "No data" in Reports.
When a user selects a data entry method (either direct entry or KEY ESG calculators), the method that has not been chosen will display as "Opted Out" in Report, and the chosen data entry method will display the data entered by the user.
