Sustainability data in your accounts – why they're more connected than you think
You record every invoice, every receipt, every cost. It's a given. Your accounts are your company's memory — they tell you what you've bought, from whom, and for how much. But they also tell you something else: they tell you how much carbon dioxide you've emitted.
What are emission factors and where do they come from?
Every time your company buys something — electricity, transport, raw materials, a consulting service, a new computer — it generates greenhouse gas emissions somewhere in the value chain. But how are you actually supposed to work out how much? This is where emission factors come in.
