<aside> 🎉 Congratulations on getting started on your emission measurement journey! This is a step-by-step guide on how to get your data ready to upload on our platform, and generate the emissions.
</aside>
Our templates provide you with the key headers and columns, to inform you of what information you have to collect for upload. These templates are all found on our platform under the “Inputs” tab. The Guide linked in the below table will show you how you can get these templates on our platform.
Once you know what to collect, you should review your internal systems and identify the sources where you would obtain the information needed.
Once you have identified the information to collect and have formatted them in the templates required, proceed to upload the files on our platform. Refer to the specific Guides in the table below on how to do this.
On the emission measurement journey, companies have to measure their Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions.
These Scopes represent different types of emissions that companies have to account for.
Refer to the below table to find the Guides required for each emissions scope, as well as a summary of the calculation method and information required for your emissions inventory.

<aside> 👉🏼 For bulk data uploads, we recommend using csv templates - do ensure to upload as .csv rather than .xls format and to record all dates in dd/mm/yyyy format, as .xls uploads may result in flipped date formats (mm/dd/yyyy).
