Procurement Data Collection

Procurement

We will need to understand all your indirect emissions that are released across your organisations supply and value chain.

Operational expenses:

Here we will need a record of all your daily operating expenses.  You may provide this for the organisation as whole, or split the costs by site or country if you wish.

We recommend that you group together spends to fit the categories we have provided in the template, however if this is not possible you may leave a copy of your expenses in the third sheet provided and we will categorise costs for you.

You will not need to use every category, but you will need to include all of your costs.  Anything you fail to tell us about will not be measured and could lead to you under-reporting your carbon footprint.

Please note: we do not need to know PAYE, Tax, Inter-company loans or other such costs.  If you are unsure please ask and we can provide further guidance.

Capital expenses:

Here we need a list of the financial spend on any fixed resources and assets. Most commonly this will be items such as buildings, vehicles, equipment, technology or land.

We will measure the 1-year amortised cost of your capital expenses, not the full asset cost.

Exclusions:

If you have already provided details of an activity to use then you do not need to inform us of the financial cost of it under Procurement.  

For example, If you have submitted your Business Travel data to us you do not need to declare your financial spend on travel here.  The same goes for Utilities and Distribution.
