Scope 1&2 GHG Accounting & Reporting

Forests, Land and Agriculture emissions - Science Based Targets Custom Factors (FLAG emissions)

We have clients that need to report (1) Land use change, (2) Land management net and (3) Land management non-CO2 emissions separately. So in order to do that, we need three separated emission factors for each data type.

Include market-based calculations/emissions in Monthly Data Summary

The Monthly Data Summary report currently contains location-based calculations and results only. To access market-based emissions, the user must go to a separate report (within PowerReports), where the data is in a different format. This is time-c...

Monthly and Daily Datasets in one PowerReport

Combining monthly and daily data in a single PowerReport gives a clear, connected view of performance. Monthly data highlights long term trends, compliance progress, and reduction targets, while daily data exposes operational issues, spikes, and o...

Have emission factors presented and easily accessible in the platform

At the moment it is quite difficult to find emission factors in the system. I know you can either go to monthly data within the platform or download one of the csv exports, but it would be good to see them in the UI somewhere. Maybe as a table in ...

Have more Market-Based Emissions Reports

Most companies like to view their emissions as market-based (or view both market and location based within one report). For example, the Emissions by Scope Report should show both Market based and Location based emissions for Scopes 1-3.

Combining Market-Based emissions data into the Monthly Data Summary report

Add Market-Based Emissions data into the Monthly Data Summary, instead of being a seperate PowerReport. At the moment we need to download both reports and create our own PowerBI dashboard outside of Envizi to be able to display both market-based a...

Visibility into exact accrual and proxy calculations at the data point level needed

Climate data undergoes rigorous validation by external auditors. Part of that process involves random sampling and re-calculating of accrued and proxied data. Due to the complexity of the algorithm for both the accrual and proxy calculations we ha...

Ability to Move Records between Account Numbers

Calculate market-based emissions for any groups

Currently MBE are only calculated for one selected Portfolio or Classification group. This creates issues when you'd like to view MBE for different groups for different purposes (sustainability reporting, customer reporting, etc.).
