Creating an accurate emissions inventory is the foundation of effective climate action. This page guides you through setting up your inventory within the platform — from first steps to full activity coverage.

How to start

Before entering any data, make sure you’re clear on:

• Your reporting period — typically a calendar or fiscal year (e.g. January–December 2024).
• Your organisational boundaries — define which parts of your business (entities, facilities, units) are included.
• Your activity types — identify operations, services, or purchases that may cause emissions.

Tip: Use the Entities tab to structure your business correctly before adding emissions data.

Defining the scope

Every emission source must be assigned to one of the GHG Protocol’s three scopes:

• Scope 1 (Direct emissions): Emissions from sources you own or control directly, like fuel combustion, company cars, or onsite refrigerants.
• Scope 2 (Indirect energy emissions): Emissions from purchased electricity, heating, or cooling.
• Scope 3 (Value chain emissions): All other indirect emissions, both upstream and downstream — including business travel, purchased goods, and logistics.

The platform uses these scopes to group your data automatically. Each time you create a new inventory item, you'll be asked to select the scope first.
