How do I map my expense data?

Once you've integrated your accounting data, our internal mapping engine will select emissions categories for any suppliers we know. You can then work through a list of all our suppliers until you have selected an emissions category for each of them.

Simply move down the list of accounts on your left. For each supplier open the drop down menu and either scroll through our list of categories or start typing what type of supplier it is. For example, if it's a somewhere you stayed for work travel just type 'hotel' and select the appropriate category.

You can use the multi-select function to map multiple accounts to the same category in less clicks. To do this, select the checkbox on the left hand side of the supplier name on all of the other suppliers that match the same category. Once you have all the relevant suppliers selected, select the drop down, search for the appropriate emissions factor and select it to map all of them at once! Now you can move onto your next emissions category until you have mapped all of the suppliers in this account.

Should I map by account or supplier?

We recommend mapping by supplier, to ensure you get a more accurate footprint. The more specific you can be with your spend mapping, the more comprehensive your emissions assessment will be, and the more targeted you can be with your reduction strategies. However, you can map by account if you prefer.
