The Emissions insights dashboard provides a summary view of all emission types, together with key summary statistics. This visibility into emissions information, helps your measure your sustainability progress and effectively manage business transformation.

To view the dashboard, select Emissions insights under Analytics on the navigation pane.

Filter your results

To filter the Emissions insights dashboard, make selections in **Reporting year, Accounting method, and Organizational hierarchy.

The options for Accounting method include:

Location Based: Reflects the average emissions intensity of grids on which energy consumption occurs.
Market Based: Reflects emissions from electricity you purposefully chose.

Note

For the preview release of Accounting method introduced in August 2024, only scope 2 emissions can be categorized as market-based. As a result, if you set Accounting method to Market Based on the dashboard, the dashboard shows all data for scope 1 and scope 3 emissions while showing only market-based data for scope 2 emissions.

For more information about filtering by Alternate result basis (preview), go to Calculate emissions for different standards (preview). The data that appears on the dashboard is a combination of your selections for Accounting method and Alternate result basis (preview). For example, if you set Accounting method as Market Based and Alternate result basis (preview) as GRI (which you would have to set up as a calculation model beforehand), only data that matches both criteria appears on the dashboard.

If your organization turned on Data approval management (preview), you can also set the Data approval (preview) toggle to Include pending data.
