Calculating Emissions Intensity in Sumday

How to Calculate 🧮

Complete your Baseline Assessment within Sumday (calculate your emissions for the period)

You will be able to find your total tCO2-e in the opening dashboard of the Assessments section of Sumday

Using your tCO2-e you can calculate your emissions factor using the following formula: Total tCO2-e for the period / Total Revenue for the period (in millions) = Emissions Intensity

Note: when providing this number to stakeholders its important to note the currency used in the calculation, as this may need to be adjusted if they have a different reporting currency.
