If you are a member of the AWARE™ network and want access to this feature during the beta, let your customer support person know, or email us at support@wearaware.co and we’ll enable it for you.
Overview
When you first land on the platform you will notice a new option in the side-bar navigation:
If you don’t see this then the feature has not been enabled on your account. Let us know and we’ll turn it on for you.
When you click on the icon, you will be taken to a page that looks something like this:
This is your ‘impact overview’ page where you can see the total amount of emissions you have calculated, the average emissions of an order in your account, and where you can select which orders you want to calculate emissions for.
What other information would you like to see here? Are these numbers helpful, or should we remove them?
You’ll also notice the option to export the data as a csv file - this will export all of the items in the table below it. And the ‘view methodology & emission factors’ link.
This link takes you to our calculation partner ‘Climatiq’’s documentation. There you can read more about the methodologies we use and emission factors we use in the calculations.
Calculating
To calculate the emissions of previous orders, select the orders from the table, and click the ‘Calculate Impact’ button.
If the supplier you are using has the impact calculation feature available all that will happen here is calculating the last mile transport emissions since the rest of the calculations were done at the time of production, when the relevant token was created, updated, or sent.
Going forward, for every order that is filled and matching product token received the calculation will be done automatically so you will be able to see the results for every order.
Results
There are two ways to see the results of the calculations.
First, of you select ‘more details’ on the right hand side of a row that has already be calculated, you will be taken to the more detailed impact page for that line:
Here you will see the order’s impact calculation broken down by each line item within the order.
Second, you can also see the calculation results in our ‘Impact Report’.
To access this you need to navigate to the ‘Purchase Orders’ page and find the PO you are interested in. From there you can select the ‘Impact Report’ icon on the right hand side:
When you click on this you will be taken to a page that looks something like this (but with more detail):
