Build a durable and auditable emissions management system

A one-time emissions calculation is rarely sufficient when data is fragmented, manually maintained, or difficult to reproduce. We help organizations design a GHG data model and management process that structures the way emissions information is collected, validated, updated, and used.

The solution can integrate data from procurement, manufacturing, logistics, energy management, HR, travel, and waste management. Power Query can support data transformation, DAX emissions calculations and KPIs, while Power BI enables reporting and dashboarding.

Who is it for?

This service is designed for organizations that:

• manage emissions data across multiple disconnected systems;
• want to reduce manual work and errors;
• require repeatable calculation processes;
• are preparing data for verification or assurance;
• want clear accountability for GHG data;
• prefer solutions that remain within the organization;
• want to avoid dependency on proprietary sustainability platforms.

Scope of support

• inventory of data sources and current processes;
• assignment of data ownership and responsibilities;
• design of a relational GHG data model;
• development of data collection and validation procedures;
• implementation of transformation and validation mechanisms;
• design of emissions calculations, KPIs and intensity metrics;
• documentation of assumptions and emission factors;
• development of management dashboards;
• design of update and maintenance processes;
• business user training.

Project outcomes

The organization receives:

• a structured GHG data model operating within its environment;
• transparent and reproducible calculation logic;
• methodology and emissions factor documentation;
• defined data collection and governance processes;
• assigned roles and responsibilities;
• agreed dashboards and KPI reports;
• a scalable and extensible model;
• reduced vendor lock-in risks and software licensing costs.

The Synergist approach

The model remains with the organization. Users have access to the underlying data, transformations, formulas, assumptions, and emission factors. Every significant figure can be traced back to its source, ensuring transparency and long-term maintainability.

Experience

The model has been developed based on our experience in emissions calculations, data modelling, methodology documentation, and recurring GHG reporting processes.
