Business value

With the ability to load the 2024 National and European Emission Factors for Electricity (NEEFE) factors update in Microsoft Sustainability Manager, you can track and report greenhouse gas emissions using both the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions using the activity-based approach of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and the lifecycle (LC) approach.

Feature details

With Sustainability Manager, you can effortlessly import emission factors from various authoritative sources, including the NEEFE. Sustainability Manager incorporates the 2024 NEEFE update to allow organizations and individuals to calculate greenhouse gas emissions using the activity-based IPCC and LC approaches.

The NEEFE factors are essential components for calculating and managing the environmental impact of electricity consumption within the European Union. They provide a standardized set of emission factors that can be used for obligatory reporting and risk assessment for financial institutions, as well as for calculating product carbon footprints (PCFs) and other environmental metrics.

For information about using emission factor sets, go to Configure emission factors.
