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.

The NEEFE factors library package will be available as an optional component when deploying Microsoft Sustainability Manager from the Solution Center. If you already have Microsoft Sustainability Manager installed, you can redeploy it from the Solution Center, selecting the NEEFE factors library package to load the factors into your existing solution.
