Trace emissions to activity data

Microsoft Cloud for Sustainability Tech Summit November 2024.

You can trace emissions to the underlying activity data if those emissions were generated using the Microsoft Sustainability Manager calculation engine. Each emission record includes a source table that provides details on the source of the emissions, plus details on the activity data used to arrive at those emissions.

Note

You can only trace emissions for records generated within Sustainability Manager using the calculation engine with the baseline activity data. Precalculated emissions imported into Sustainability Manager aren't traceable.

Follow these steps to trace the activity data for an emission record:

  1. In Sustainability Manager on the left navigation, select All emissions under Data. The emissions record contains all the relevant details, including the Source column, which lists the activity data record associated with the emission record.

  2. To view details on the activity data record for the corresponding emissions, select a record in the Source column.
