Create a new CO2 footprint

Once you have set up your first carbon footprint report by creating a report, click on "Open" to access the carbon footprint module.

There, you will find two steps:

1. Define Default Activities (OPTIONAL)

Many customers find it useful to predefine emission-relevant activities at the highest possible organizational level so that individual entities only need to enter their consumption data, rather than searching for all activities themselves. This can be done in this step.

Important: This step is optional. If you do not wish to add default activities, you can simply complete and skip this step, proceeding directly to Step 2 (Data Collection), where your entities can enter their own activities.

For example, you can click the blue "Add Activity" button to define default activities using the Smart Search feature or by creating your own activities.

Then, select the activities that should be reported by all or only some of your entities. You can find out how to use the intelligent search feature here:

Once you have created an activity, you can assign it to the entities included in the report.

2. Data Collection

Once you have completed Step 1 (if you added default activities) and opened Step 2, you can start the data collection process.

At this stage, you can also enter a message that will be visible to all recipients.

When you start data collection, you will see a representation of your organizational structure, limited to the entities you selected during the report creation process. If you need to make corrections, you can do so by clicking on "More Actions."
