How to collect data (in the new CO2 workflow)

Once you have assigned scopes and selected relevant activities, the main procedure of collecting data can begin. Here, the admin or the module manager initiates the process by setting a deadline for data entry completion and notifying all entity managers directly from the module interface. 

As the data collection gets underway, entity managers will have clear visibility of their assigned tasks and can begin entering data specific to their entities. They will be able to review detailed emissions data aligned with the GHG Protocol requirements, helping ensure completeness and compliance.

Each data point submitted by entity managers is accompanied by an accuracy score, calculated using Climatiq’s robust data-quality metrics alongside relevant company-specific details. This feature was specifically developed in response to requests from many of our customers, providing increased transparency, confidence in the data, and enhanced credibility for audits and sustainability certifications.

Entity managers also have the flexibility to choose and edit relevant emission factors directly from our database. This process is explained in detail in the following helpdesk article. Additionally, the module manager or admin can review the collected data at any point to quickly identify and resolve any inconsistencies or inaccuracies, ensuring the highest quality data for final reporting.
