Does your software exclude spend that is not within the boundary of our organisation's footprint?

Emitwise follows the operational control approach to organisational boundary setting. This means that all activities operationally controlled by the reporting entity are considered within their organisational boundary.

With our standard offering, Emitwise’s servicing team would work with the customer to understand exactly what activities are within or outside of that organisational boundary. To simplify and expedite the carbon accounting process here, we will assume, by default, that all spend data that we receive is related to purchasing of goods and services that are direct or indirect costs to your business operations. i.e. we assume that the spend data you send us is representative of the purchasing of goods and services used at your company’s operationally controlled facilities and not those of another company.

Several purchases should be excluded from a spend-based GHG emissions calculation. After you have mapped your internal spend categories to our Emitwise central account classification (ECAC), our system will automatically exclude all spend related to the spend categories listed in the Table below.
