The Report Builder lets you generate a complete carbon report from your emissions data, edit it as a live document, and export it as a PDF, Word document, or spreadsheet. Navigate to Reports in the side menu to get started.

In this article, you'll learn how to:

• Create a new carbon report from your emissions data
• Edit report variables and add free text
• Use version history to track changes
• Export your report as PDF, Word, or Excel

Creating a Report

Editing Your Report

Once generated, the report opens as a fully editable document. You can modify any section — titles, body text, and data variables.

Variables

Numbers and data points highlighted in blue are variables. These are pulled from your emissions data and are linked across the entire report. When you change a variable in one place, it updates everywhere that variable appears — including tables, summaries, and comparison sections.

Free Text

You can add free text to any section of the report. This is useful for adding context that isn't captured in the data — for example, methodology notes, explanations of why direct emissions are not material, or commentary on year-over-year changes.

Report Sections

A full carbon report typically includes:

• Emissions overview — Total emissions with Scope 1, 2, and 3 breakdown
• Previous period comparison — Year-over-year comparison tables (editable)
• Scope breakdowns — Detailed Scope 1 and Scope 3 category breakdowns
• Top suppliers — Highest-emitting suppliers by contribution
• Methodology — How emissions were calculated, which emission factors were used
• Data sources — Where the underlying data came from

Version History

Every change to the report is tracked in version history. Click Version History to see which changes have been made, when, and by whom. This is important for audit trails and governance — especially when multiple team members collaborate on the same report.

Exporting Your Report

Once your report is ready, you have four options:

• Save as Draft — Keep working on it later.
• Export as PDF — A formatted document ready for sharing with stakeholders or auditors.
• Export as Word (.doc) — An editable document for further formatting or integration into larger reports.
• Export as Spreadsheet — The raw data and emissions breakdown in Excel format, useful for creating your own pivot tables or feeding into other systems.
