Emissions data can be collected from a range of different sources. With Continia Sustainability, you have streamlined methods for capturing data during your standard business processes such as creating sales and purchase documents, and posting G/L entries. For the few times when integration with these processes isn’t possible, of course you can also manually enter emissions data directly into the Environmental Journals.

Sustainability Reports give you powerful tools to view your company’s emission data from different angles. The default report organizes the data from your environmental journals into the three scopes from the GHG Protocol, and you can add new report types as required. You can of course filter and set this report to different periods. Add new rows to break down the data in different ways, and add new columns for comparing your company’s emissions journey across periods.
