Understanding common pitfalls to avoid in your data submission.
Q: Why do suppliers typically fail data quality checks?
A: Suppliers fail data quality checks for several reasons, including:
- Incomplete data for the reporting year.
- Data that falls outside industry benchmarks.
- Missing or inaccurate Scope 3 emissions data.
Q: What is the impact of incomplete data?
A: Incomplete data for the reporting year, especially if it’s missing entire months or periods, results in an automatic failure. Emitwise checks for complete data to ensure the accuracy of emissions intensity calculations.
Q: How can I avoid these issues?
A: Carefully review your submission to ensure all required data is included and aligned with your industry benchmarks. Also, avoid common mistakes like leaving placeholder items from previous years in the submission.
