Environmental & Emissions
Operational Environmental & Emissions Intelligence
Capture environmental activity data, apply appropriate recognised public or customer-approved factors and retain calculated environmental information with clear methodology and provenance.
Aleverum™ connects environmental information with the products, suppliers, facilities, projects and assets it relates to, helping organisations maintain clearer context around calculations, evidence and historical information.
Environmental Information
Turn Activity Data Into Environmental Information With Clear Context
Environmental information is more useful when the inputs, factors, methodology and supporting evidence remain connected to the resulting record.
Where suitable activity or supplier-specific information is available, Aleverum™ can apply applicable recognised public or customer-approved emissions factors to calculate environmental and emissions information.
The resulting information can be retained alongside its relevant product, supplier, facility, project or asset context for continued review and use.
Activity Data
Capture the relevant environmental or supplier-specific information used as an input.
Factor
Associate the applicable recognised public or customer-approved factor with the calculation.
Calculation
Generate applicable activity-based environmental or emissions information using the relevant activity data and factor.
Methodology
Retain the method used to derive the calculated information.
Evidence
Connect supporting records and source information with the result.
Aleverum™ Data Pedigree
Retain source, methodology, factor, factor version, evidence and calculation history as relevant context around the information.
Connected Record
Associate the environmental information with the relevant product, supplier, facility, project or asset.
Environmental Capabilities
Keep Environmental Information Structured, Traceable and Current
Aleverum™ supports environmental information workflows by retaining the data, calculation context and supporting records organisations need to understand and manage environmental information over time.
1. Environmental Activity-Data Capture
Capture environmental activity information within structured and governed records.
2. Activity-Based Calculations
Calculate applicable environmental and emissions information from suitable activity or supplier-specific data.
3. Recognised Factors
Apply appropriate recognised public or customer-approved factors.
4. Methodology Provenance
Retain information about the methodology associated with a calculated result.
5. Factor Versioning
Maintain relevant factor source, version and applicable period information.
6. Historical Calculations
Retain calculation history to help users understand how environmental information has changed over time.
7. Environmental Evidence
Connect supporting environmental records and evidence with the information they relate to.
8. Supplier-Specific Information
Maintain relevant supplier-specific environmental information alongside product, material and other governed records.
Environmental information can be difficult to interpret when the source, calculation method or supporting evidence is separated from the result.
Aleverum™ Data Pedigree can retain relevant source, methodology, factor, factor version, evidence and calculation history associated with environmental and emissions information.
This gives authorised users clearer context around how information was developed and how it has changed over time.

Keep the Information Behind Each Result Connected
Calculation Context
Understand What an Environmental Calculation Represents
Activity-based environmental calculations can provide useful governed information for product, supplier, facility, project and asset workflows. However, different environmental outputs can require different boundaries, methodologies, data requirements and levels of assurance.
Activity-Based Environmental Calculation
Aleverum™ can calculate applicable environmental and emissions information where suitable activity or supplier-specific information and applicable recognised public or customer-approved factors are available.
Product Carbon Footprint or Lifecycle Assessment
A Product Carbon Footprint or lifecycle assessment may require defined system boundaries, methodologies and data requirements beyond a standard activity-based calculation.
Independently Assured Environmental Statement
Where independent assurance is required, this may involve appropriately qualified independent providers and an assurance process appropriate to the intended environmental statement.
An activity-based emissions calculation is not automatically a Product Carbon Footprint, lifecycle assessment or independently assured emissions statement.
