Report

From the report page, you can export the company's Carbon Footprint Report (PDF) and Table (XLSX). You can select which repoting period and organizational unit to include.

PreviousStatus OverviewNextBoundaries

Last updated 6 months ago

Reports are a simple way to share your emissions data and summaries with those that need to review it without having access to the full activity data.

From the Reports view, you can generate new reports, retrieve previously generated reports, and customize specific sections of the report.

There are 5 report formats

  1. GHG Protocol

  2. ISO 14064-1

  3. ESRS-E1

  4. SECR

  5. Internal Report

  6. Inventory Export

Report format 1, 2, and 5 are available as PDF and XLSX files. The Inventory Export contains the raw data from the Inventory and is therefore only available as an XLSX file. The ESRS-E1 and SECR reports are only available as docx file.

Note that the PDFs have been optimized for editing in Microsoft Word. See Editing a PDF report

Creating a new Report

To create a report based on the current Inventory data and Disclosure questions, select a report type, file type, reporting period, and organizational unit.

Wait for the report to generate and then select the Download button.

The file might take some a few minutes to generate, but you are free to navigate away from the page and retrieve it from the Report History at a later time.

Downloading from Report History

On the Report History tab, you will find a list of recently created reports. Each time you generate a report, the system will also keep a record of the inventory data used to generate the report which you will be available for download.

This allows you to retrieve, for example,

  • Reports generated before changes to the Inventory

  • Reports created by a different user

The Inventory Export can also act as a back-up and can be referenced in the case of a loss of data.

To download a report from the history, click on a row in the table and use the options in the detail pane to retrieve the report you require.

Customizing Disclosure information

It is important to customize the text of the report to accurately reflect the reporting company and methods used.

The Disclosure tab allows you to edit specific sections of the report. These sections include:

  1. Verifier and Auditing Contact Details

  2. Reporting Context

  3. Consolidation Method Approach

  4. Methodology Additional Context

  5. Organizational Boundaries Additional Context

  6. Reporting Boundaries Additional Context

  7. Approach to base year reporting

  8. Revision and Auditing Context

Carbon+Alt+Delete has provided default text for some of the sections, but they should be reviewed and edited for each company account. To revert to the default text, simply delete the customized text.

Another section of the report that can and should be customized is the Activity Category Descriptions and Inclusion/Exclusion Criteria. These must be edited from the Boundaries view.

Editing a PDF report

To create an editable version of the report, simply right-click the file and select “Open with” and then “Word”.

You may recieve a warning about the conversion, it safe to click "Ok". You may also need to enable editing on the document.

The file will generate and you can Download
