1. Navigation

• Access Insights hub under Insights in the navigation bar.
• This takes you to the main dashboard view.

2. Dashboard Overview

These dashboards are structured with decision-making in mind and focuses on actionability. KPI cards are located at the top of the page, hotspot charts are below, and actionable initiatives are on the right-hand column.

These visualizations highlight current data alongside the contextual information needed for decision-making.

Change dashboards by selecting between the Impact Areas.

Additionally, view the number of facilities in the current year. The screenshot shows 798 of 798 facilities because there are 0 outliers excluded. In other words, the more outliers excluded, the greater the difference is between these two numbers. 

Select the “i” icon next to Data Sources to view which data sources are included.

3. Decarbonization KPI Cards

The Decarbonization Dashboard has the following KPI Cards. Please note that Production Volume Allocation does not affect score metrics.

• Carbon Intensity
• Thermal Carbon Intensity
• Electricity Carbon Intensity
• % Thermal Energy
• % Electricity is Onsite Renewable
• % Electricity is Purchased Renewable
• Pc-Pair Production Carbon Intensity
• Kg Production Carbon Intensity
• Pc-Pair Production Energy Intensity
• Kg Production Energy Intensity
• FEM Energy Score
• Total Emissions

TIP: We recommend looking at intensity metrics such as “carbon intensity” in order to compare facilities of different sizes or production volumes.

If there is a KPI you wish to see in your dashboard, please reach out to support.worldly.io to submit a request. Click here to learn about the Carbon Metric Definitions.

How do KPI Cards work?

At the top of the dashboard, there are three KPI cards that each highlight a different critical metric for tracking progress.

Each KPI card’s color-coding helps to quickly identify areas of concern versus those performing well. In addition to the KPI value (ex: 686.225 M), each card also includes:

• Year-over-year changes symbolized by the calendar icon, which show the % change from last year.
• Peer comparison that benchmarks against similar companies in your industry, symbolized by the three vertical bars and show the % difference from benchmark.
• Download button to access PNG images to easily distribute insights to your team.

Year-over-year changes

Let’s take a deeper look at Total Emissions. Clicking on the KPI card reveals more detailed graphs on year-over-year changes and peer comparisons.

1. The dotted line shows the average benchmark within the same time frame.
2. The red line above shows the progress of total emissions in terms of kgCO2e from 2019 to 2023.

Box plot

The red box in the box plot diagram shows how your total kgCO2e compares to industry peers as symbolized by the grey box. 

Match the numbers in the screenshot to the numbered bullet points below to learn how to read a box plot diagram:

1. The top horizontal line shows the maximum, or greatest value, excluding outliers.
   • Ex: The maximum value lies at 225 M.
2. The top of the light red box shows the upper quartile. 25% of the data is above this value, and 75% of the data falls below.
   • Ex: The upper quartile lies at 150 M.
3. The line between the light red box and the dark red box is the median. This marks the mid-point of the data and divides the box into two parts. 50% of the data is greater than or equal to this value, and the other 50% is less than this value.
   • Ex: The median lies just below 100 M.
4. The bottom of the dark red box is the lower quartile. 25% of the data is below, and 75% of the data is above this value.
   • Ex: The lower quartile lies at 75 M.
5. The bottom horizontal line shows the minimum, or the lowest value, excluding outliers.
   • Ex: The minimum value lies at 25 M.

Clicking on the KPI Card reveals a drawer where you can see year-over-year changes and a box plot. Additionally, the definition provided at the top also indicates whether this KPI is affected by Production Volume Allocation.

Conversely, it will state if the metric is not affected by production allocation. 

Both graphs are also downloadable by clicking on the icon in the upper right-hand corner.

Benchmark data is affected by filters but not by production allocation. Click here to learn more about benchmarking.

4. Decarbonization Hotspots

The hotspot charts help you pinpoint the impact of your emissions. Browse through the charts to get overall summaries by regions, facilities, and emissions source distribution. 

The Carbon Intensity by Country and Carbon Intensity by Facility Type charts are more useful for analyzing multiple FEM modules, while the Emission Mix chart is more relevant for facilities looking at a single FEM module.

Each hotspot chart is downloadable by selecting the icon in the upper right corner. Downloading bar charts produces an image, while downloading tables produce a CSV file.

The Decarbonization Dashboard has the following hotspots:

• Emission Mix
• Energy Mix
• Renewable Energy Mix
• Purchased Renewables Mix
• Carbon Intensity by Country
• Carbon Intensity by Facility Type
• Carbon Intensity by Tags

5. Decarbonization Initiatives

The right-hand column features a list of initiatives that facilities can take action on. The data used in each initiative comes directly from specific questions in any section of the FEM. 

Note: Only Engagement or Impact subscriptions can access this feature. Production Volume Allocation does not affect Initiative percentages.

Top initiatives are based on what users most frequently ask about or indicate they want to track. These often represent the most critical actions that facilities can take to improve their sustainability performance or critical foundational work.

In addition to Top Initiatives, the Decarbonization Dashboard has the following initiatives:

• Strategy
• Compliance
• Engagement
• Tracking
• Planned Improvement & Remediation
• Recorded Improvements & Remediation

When you click on an initiative, a drawer will appear where you can:

Track energy use for any of the applicable facilities.

1. Track energy usage
2. % change from last year
3. % difference from benchmark

View a table that breaks down the initiative into further detail.

6. Decarbonization Filters

The left-hand filter column automatically updates all metrics throughout the dashboard to reflect the filtered data set. The dashboard filters enable users to organize and slice the data to quickly determine which facilities are best suited for intervention.

Some of the most common filters used include country, facility type, tier type, or tags. You can also apply multiple filters at the same time, such as country, facility type, and other parameters.

Filter	Definition	Notes
Impact Areas Dropdown	Select which impact area the dashboard should focus on.	Impact Areas include: Environmental Baseline Decarbonization Waste Reduction and Circularity Water Use Reduction Social Baseline
Assessment Year Dropdown	Select the applicable year the dashboard should use.
Outliers Excluded	Select the “i” icon to learn more about the outliers detected.	Use the toggle to include or exclude outliers from the data in the dashboard. Select Outliers CSV to download a report that shows how many assessment outliers were detected and excluded from the dashboard data based on the selected year of the dashboard. The number of outliers does not change when you select additional filters. Select Outlier methodology and remediation processes to learn more about outlier detection. In the example above there are 59 outliers excluded, which means there are 59 excluded assessments.
Production Allocation	The percentage of facilities with production allocation defined.  The color-coded widget corresponds with the percentage of facilities with production volume allocation defined.  Red = 0 - 50% Yellow = 51 - 99% Green = 100%	Select the "i" icon next to Production Allocation to: Select Define Production Allocation to open the FEM All Modules table. Select the blue notification to open the Upload window. Click here to learn more. Toggle Production Allocation Off. 100% of production is allocated to your account if not defined or if turned off. Currently only share recipients can define their own FEM allocations, not facilities themselves. It may take an hour for new allocations to show up here in Insights Hub Select the "i" icon to read the FEM: Production Volume Allocation guide for Brands. Understand what percentage of facilities still need to have allocation defined in order for even more accurate data.
Country	Select the applicable regions.
Verification	Indicate whether assessment data is verified or not.
Data Ownership	Toggle between "My Modules" and "Modules Shared with Me".
Accounts	Select the applicable accounts.

Facility Type Filtering

When the Facility Type filter is applied, the dashboard updates to only show data from the facility type. Additionally, when this filter is applied, data prior to 2023 will not be shown since that is when this logic was introduced. 

• For example, if we apply the filter Finished Product Assembler, the dashboard updates to only show data from facilities that have the facility type of Finished Product Assembler. 

Furthermore, comparisons are only made between common facility types, allowing for more accurate benchmarking. So for example:

• If the Finished Product Assembler filter is applied and a facility has multiple facility types including:
  • Finished Product Assembler
  • Component / Sub-Assembly Manufacturing
• Then the data shown on the dashboard:
  • Would only include data from Finished Product Assembler ✅
  • Not from Component / Sub-Assembly Manufacturing ❌

Note: If more than one facility type is selected in the filters, the dashboard data reflects the totality of values from both facility types combined together. It does not reflect data strictly from facilities with multiple facility types.

7. How to add tags after creating a cadence

Tags are used to help categorize, organize, or describe assessments. 

You can manage tags by navigating to Assessments, selecting Higg FEM, and then selecting the Modules tab.

Adding a Tag

1. On the Modules tab, notice the Tags column. 
   
2. Identify the assessment you want to add a tag to and click on the drop-down menu to the right.
   
3. Type in the tag you wish to add. In this example, we’re adding a tag to identify this assessment’s facility is a Tier 1 facility.
   
4. Select Add tag. Once the tag is added, you can use the filter function at the top of the column to filter for assessments with that specific tag.
   
5. The added tag will appear within Insights Hub, CSV exports, FEM Analytics, and wherever you can find tags.
