Hello, and welcome to today's session. My name is Leah Jaggars, and I'm the senior education manager here at Worldly. Today, we're going to discuss setting environmental baselines and targets using Worldly tools.
So before we get into the meat of everything, just to orient ourselves, I'm launching a quick poll. Please take a second to select the option that best describes your role.
This will help me to kind of orient and give more time to, you know, the sections that matter to who's in the room.
So the options are brand or retailer, facility or manufacturer, manufacturing group that both owns facility and collects data from their supply chain partners, a vendor or intermediary, and verifier or auditor.
Thank you so much. I'm just going to share the results so we can see. So it's mostly brands today, but a good representation of facilities and manufacturing group and some verifiers. So thank you so much for sharing. That helps me to orient.
Alright.
So by the end of this session, you'll be able to explain what an environmental baseline is and how to establish one using your organization's data, describe the role of the greenhouse gas protocol, SBTI, which is science based targets initiatives and ISO standards, and how they connect to each other and to worldly tools.
You'll be able to distinguish between near term and long term science based targets and understand what SBTI alignment requires across scopes.
You'll identify which Worldly tools support baseline building and target setting at the facility and supply chain level.
And finally, trace how facility level FEM data flows through the platform and contributes to supply chain emissions analysis.
So before we get into the how, let's take a moment on the why.
The regulatory and investor pressure is real and accelerating. The EU's CSRD is requiring detailed environmental disclosure from thousands of companies. The United States SEC has also introduced climate disclosure rules.
Customers and inventor inventors investors are scrutinizing sustainability claims more carefully than ever. And for many in this room, climate risk isn't a future concern. It's an operational reality today showing up as water scarcity, heat stress, extreme weather, and rising energy costs. The organizations that build credible data driven programs now will be better positioned for what's coming.
So let's get into it.
Before we go section by section, I want to give you a map of the territory.
One of the most confusing things about sustainability for newcomers is the sheer number of acronyms and frameworks and standards, etcetera.
And it's not always obvious how they relate to each other. So here's a very simplified version. The greenhouse gas protocol tells you how to measure your emissions consistently. So the protocol defines which scope of emissions are captured, how those things can be captured, and what matters there.
SBTI or science based targets initiative tells you what your targets should look like to be credible and science aligned.
So whether or not you actually participate in SBTI and get your targets verified by them is up to you, but you can still use the framework to to drive your target setting so that they are science aligned.
And then ISO, the international standards organization, there's fourteen thousand and one and five fifty thousand and one specifically that give facilities the management systems to operate towards those targets day to day. And finally, Worldly's tools are where all of this comes to life and how you can operationalize it all.
Alright. So first, what is a baseline?
A baseline is a snapshot of your organization's environmental performance over a defined period. Basically, your starting point.
Think of it like a health checkup before a doctor prescribes treatment.
Without knowing where you are today, any targets you set are essentially guesses.
You can set a baseline for different environmental impact areas such as energy, water, waste, and greenhouse gas emissions.
On emissions, just for a brief overview for anybody who's not familiar, from the greenhouse gas protocol, there's three scopes. Scope one covers direct emissions from sources you own. For example, any owned or controlled vehicles, if you have any, you know, energy generation on-site, things like that. And then scope two is your purchased electricity.
So that includes any, you know, purchase renewables, any regular purchase electricity, etcetera. And scope three covers your broader value chain. Scope three is often the largest piece of the puzzle, and we'll come back to this during this session. But, essentially, scope three is all of the activities that led up to you then making the product. So all of your other, you know, tier two facilities, the material production, etcetera.
A baseline defines the starting year or period and is based on reliable historical data and represents a fixed organizational boundary.
An individual facility might set a baseline for their energy or water use using their Higg FEM data. Whereas, if you aggregate data like a brand or intermediary, you might set baselines for your cumulative values across your supply chain.
When choosing your baseline year, aim for the most recent year where you have the most complete data. Consistency matters more than perfection.
If you are a facility and haven't started tracking yet, facility data manager is a good entry point to begin backfilling data and tracking going forward.
If you have completed an a Higg FEM, you likely have your baseline data already.
If you are collecting data from multiple facilities using Worldly, you can access baseline data either from individual assessments, data downloads, or in Insights Hub. I'll show you where you can locate all of those options in just a bit.
The quality and completeness of facility data is foundational. It provides facility level improvement tracking and supply chain level analysis.
So once you have a baseline, the next question is, what do you aim for?
So before we get into that, I want to get a quick read on the room.
So I'm launching a quick poll, which is which best describes where your organization is today.
The first option is we haven't started collecting environmental data yet.
The next option is we have some data, but it's incomplete or inconsistent.
Next is we have a baseline established but haven't set targets yet.
We have a baseline and are actively working towards targets.
We have baselines and targets, but don't have specific implementation plans to achieve our targets. And finally, we have baselines and targets and are actively achieving targets we set.
And it looks like we've got a good variety. So, hopefully, what we covered today will help everybody in some way.
We will be spending a lot of time in the platform specifically just showing you where to find these things. So, hopefully, that will help.
Great. I'm going to go ahead and end the poll, and I'll share the results.
So luckily, nobody hasn't started collecting yet. If you are in that bucket though and just didn't respond, that's totally fine. Most folks have baselines that are actively working towards targets, but some are kind of in that, you know, getting your data collecting, setting the baselines stage, and then some are on the other end where they have their baselines and targets, and some haven't quite gotten there to achievement, and then others have. So really good range of options there.
Alright. Thank you so much for participating.
Okay. So this is where the science based targets initiative, SBTI, comes in in what makes a target credible.
A science based target means your emissions reductions goals are aligned with what climate science says is needed to limit global warming to one point five degrees Celsius.
Your targets aren't just aspirational. They're grounded in what the planet actually requires. And I'm sharing a link to just the science based targets initiative's website and their net zero program if you would like to learn more.
So SPTI has two tiers. There's near term targets. These cover roughly a five to ten year horizon and focus on rapid concrete reductions.
Then there's long term targets. Under the net zero standard, these look to the year twenty fifty and require at least a ninety percent reduction across all scopes with only residual emissions addressed through permanent carbon removal.
Please note that SBTI is currently focused on decarbonizations, but if you are interested in other target frameworks for different, impact areas such as water, there is a WRI, water use targets, initiative, and I just shared that in, the chat as well. All of these links as well, I'll be sharing in the follow-up email, so don't worry if you miss any of them.
And finally, science based targets network also has science based targets for nature. So this includes biodiversity and a few different impact areas not really currently covered in this SBTI framework. So I just shared the link to that in the chat as well.
A quick but important clarification before we go further.
Often, these two phrases are confused. So net zero and carbon neutral are not the same thing.
Carbon neutrality often leans heavily on purchasing offsets. So you don't change anything about your operations. You're just buying carbon offsets to offset your use.
While the SBTI net zero standard prioritizes deep real reductions first. So in that case, offsets are as a last resort and not a primary strategy. So first step, reduce all of your use, all of your active emissions as much as possible. And then for anything at the end, then offsets may be used, but it's really kind of the prioritization that's different there.
Alright. So what does this mean for brands and retailers? So for brands and retailers, scope three means your supply chain. So for corporate SPTI commitments, this requires reductions across all scopes. So scope one and two are often the easiest to address, whereas scope three is kind of a different ball of wax, like a different situation entirely because you have to engage with your supply chain, you have to collect data, and all of that. So totally understand how that can be difficult.
Then there's near term target coverage. Scope one, scope two, and scope three, they must cover all of those categories. So, again, that's in the next five to ten years.
And finally, supplier engagement here is key. So it's both a requirement for actually getting to your scope three data, and it's a strategic lever for hitting brand level commitments. So if you have a corporate target to reduce reductions by ninety percent, you literally cannot do that unless you engage with your supply chain.
So having complete tracking, tracking your entire supply chain if possible, and making sure that you stay engaged with your suppliers is really key to being able to meet meet these commitments.
For facilities and suppliers, SBTI has pathways designed specifically for you. You don't need to be a large corporation or wait for a brand to ask you to set a target. Setting your own science based targets positions you as a preferred sourcing partner as brand requirements tighten.
And beyond the business case, if your facility is on the front lines of water scarcity, heat stress, or energy volatility, reducing your emissions footprint is directly connected to your own operational resilience.
The most important thing here to understand is that facility level reductions are what actually move the needle on a brand's scope three emissions. So this is a shared agenda. And this also applies if you're manufacturing group. So if you're manufacturing group, your owned facilities are, you know, a little bit easier to track, but then you still need to engage with your, you know, tier two, tier three suppliers to get that full scope three view.
So what are some common pitfalls in target setting? First is going in without a verified base. So if you don't have a good baseline, you aren't really setting yourself up for success. It's kind of like building a house without a foundation. You're just kind of throwing things at the wall and hoping that they work.
Next is treating offsets as a substitute for real reductions.
So this allows people to avoid making necessary operational changes. And if you aren't making operational changes, it's unlikely that you'll actually be able to meet those net zero targets or, you know, meet those kind of one point five degrees Celsius science aligned goals. So, again, offsets should be kind of like that last resort for that residual emissions.
And then finally, ignoring scope three in the target scope. So this overlooks the majority of your emissions in the value chain, and that really goes for most organizations. Scope three has the most emissions associated with it. So it's all the things that light up to you then producing something in your facilities.
So make sure to keep those in mind as you're setting your targets.
Alright. So we've talked about measuring your footprint and setting targets. But how do you actually drive change day to day? That's where the ISO standards come in. So the ISO fourteen thousand and internationally recognized environmental management system standard. It gives facilities a structured approach to identifying environmental impacts, setting objectives, and continuously improving. ISO fifty thousand and one does the same thing, but specifically for energy, which for most facilities is the single biggest source of emissions.
These standards are worth knowing about even without pursuing formal certification. The frameworks give you a structured way to think about how your organization collects and manages environmental data, sets objectives, and tracks progress over time.
The structured approach is what turns a onetime assessment into a continuous improvement journey, and it's what makes a sustainability story more credible over time.
A lot of facilities are also already following these standards and may not realize that those things can directly connect to your target setting, to your FEM data, etcetera.
So if you are participating in these standards or even if you're not, you can always, you know, dig into it if you're curious.
But if you are already participating, you might check out your facilities booklet to see, you know, when was this last updated?
Is there anything that I can pull from this as far as, like, past target setting? That sort of thing.
Alright. So before we move into the tools, let's make this concrete. What does a science based target actually look like, and what does hitting it require in practice?
So for target language, for both brands and facilities, a near term SBTI aligned commitment might read something like, we will reduce absolute scope one and two greenhouse gas emissions fifty percent by twenty thirty from a twenty twenty two base year.
For facilities following the SBTI supplier pathway, a forty two percent reduction by two thousand and thirty is consistent with a one point five degree Celsius trajectory.
For brands with a net zero commitment, the long term vision extends to a ninety percent reduction across all scopes by two thousand and fifty.
So some other options, you can do absolute reduction. You can also this final one is an example of a intensity reduction. So we will reduce energy consumption intensity by thirty percent per unit of production by twenty thirty.
And those intensity values are helpful if, you know, you want your business to grow, so, therefore, you'll always be producing more.
And so this is just saying per each piece of production, this is how much we want to reduce.
Okay. So what does that actually look like on the ground? For facilities, it often starts with energy, the single largest source of emissions for most manufacturers. That means things like transitioning to LED lighting, upgrading to high efficiency HVAC, replacing coal or heavy fuel oil boilers, installing on-site solar, or procuring renewable energy through power purchase agreements. These aren't abstract. They're the kinds of projects that show up directly in your FEM data and move your scope one and two numbers.
For brands or manufacturing groups, implementation looks a little bit different. It's about driving action through your supply chain. That means increasing FEM participation year over year, setting supplier facing targets, using insights hub hot spots to prioritize where to focus decarbonization investment, and making climate performance a part of sourcing decisions.
For anyone newer to this, start with scope one and two. They're the most straightforward and come directly from your FEM.
Don't wait for a perfect baseline. A committed starting point with a plan to improve is better than no target at all. And use peer benchmarking in Insights Hub to get a sense of where you stand before deciding how ambitious to be.
I also want to note, I know right now that performance, like climate performance, doesn't necessarily move the needle yet on sourcing decisions, but we have seen that lack of climate performance or lack of these plans can impact you. So so far, there's kind of a bottom line where if you go beyond that line, that may impact you.
Unfortunately, there's not quite, like, a top line where if you're above this line, you're going to get a ton more business. Hopefully, that's something in the future.
But this will set you up for success. And, also, it's just better for the world. Right? We all kind of want to improve things for everyone. So, hopefully, that helps to give some concrete examples. Alright. So let's talk about building your baseline with Worldly tools.
So starting with the Higg FEM, most of you are probably the most familiar with this. FEM is your primary data collection tool at the facility level structured around energy, water, waste, and emissions. It scores your performance so you can identify opportunities for improvement. And after you post your assessment, the results tab displays your calculated scope one and scope two greenhouse gas emissions.
That number is your facility's emissions baseline, the starting point for everything we've discussed around target setting and reduction planning.
You can also see this in Insights Hub along with your other environmental KPIs. So that's for facilities as well. Facilities also have access to Insights Hub. So treat your FEM results as your own.
They reflect the work your facility is doing, and they're the foundation of your improvement story.
For brands, retailers, and anyone collecting data from multiple facilities, this data is available in aggregate for all of your tracked facilities in Insights Hub or Axion or the data downloads for FEM. You can also now allocate your production volume for a facility so that you can see your proportional view of emissions.
I'll show you how this works in just a little bit.
So next is facility data manager. FEM is your annual assessment, whereas FDM is your ongoing monthly data collection that can be imported into your annual assessment.
Facilities submit environmental data each month and as a part of each submission, allocate production volume to each of their brand partners. That allocation is how brands can see emissions data proportional to their actual share of production on an ongoing basis.
Facility data manager also has features to help facilities set and track their own scope one and two emissions reduction targets and energy targets directly in the platform.
So if you're wondering, you know, why would I do FDM if I'm already doing FEM? It's really up to you, but something that some folks find successful is you set your baseline with FEM, but you want to see throughout the year how you're performing against your target and your target plan. That's where FDM and this screenshot is showing you what the targets look like. It can show you live, like, as you're going along how you're progressing against your target. And that way, you can make changes, you can adjust course instead of having to wait to, you know, see performance at the end of the year. It's a little bit more active and in real time.
Then we get into insights hub. So the most relevant impact area for today's session are decarbonization, but there are also KPIs for water, waste, etcetera, if you have a different impact area that you would like to focus on.
KPI cards surface metrics like overall emissions and carbon intensity with year over year comparisons and peer band benchmarking.
Hotspot charts help pinpoint where emissions are concentrated by region, by facility type, by emission source so you can prioritize where to act. And the initiatives column translates data into concrete next steps, showing what percentage of facilities are taking specific actions and ranking them so that you know where to focus.
Facility users also see their own data in Insights Hub, making it a powerful tool for tracking progress and benchmarking against peers.
Brand users see aggregated data across all their tracked facilities.
Alright. So now let's connect the dot dots because this is the moment where it often clicks.
So here's the flow. A facility posts their Higg FEM and scope one and two greenhouse gas emissions are calculated in the results tab. Brands go into the all modules table and specify their share of that facility's annual production.
That data flows into Insights Hub where brands see their proportional share of supply chain emissions, track decarbonization progress, and identify which facilities to prioritize. To track progress in real time, facilities can submit monthly data through FDM and track their energy and scope one and two targets.
One facility's careful, complete data submission combined with accurate allocation becomes part of a brand's entire supply chain emissions picture.
Every gap in that data or an allocation that's never been set is a gap in the baseline.
For those with access to Axion, the same foundation sorry.
The same data foundation power supply chain risk analysis and decarbonization scenario planning. For product impact calculator users, the same data foundation flows into PIC for scope three calculations.
We'll touch on those next.
So like I just said, we've touched on scope three throughout today, so let's go a bit deeper. For most organizations in this space, scope three is where the majority of the environmental footprint lives.
It includes everything upstream and downstream of your own operations, raw materials, manufacturing, transportation, product use, and end of life.
The greenhouse gas data generated in FEM doesn't just live in FEM or Insights Hub. It can also flow into supply chain level analytics and for those with product impact calculator into product level scope three analysis. That means a facility's accurate complete FEM data is a direct contribution to their brand partners decarbonization picture.
So for those with access to Worldly Axion, this is where the supply chain data gets combined with global predictive intelligence across five risk areas, carbon, energy, water, heat stress, and extreme events. The scenarios tool lets you model how interventions affect your emissions trajectory over time, including targets that your facility has set, turning baseline data into forward looking decarbonization strategy.
For those with access to the product impact calculator, PIC calculates product level scope three emissions across the full product life cycle from raw materials all the way through end of life. When brands link an FEM assessment to purchase order, that facility's greenhouse gas data automatically populates the final assembly stage of the calculation.
This matters because most product carbon footprint tools rely on spend based estimates, which are broad approximations. Using real primary data from your facilities makes those numbers significantly more accurate and far more defensible when it comes to reporting or product level claims.
The product impacts by stage chart breaks down the footprint across the full life cycle so that you can see exactly where emissions are concentrated and where sourcing or product design decisions will move the needle the most.
Alright. So let's bring this all together. Just to review, at the facility level, Higg FEM gives you your scope one and two greenhouse gas baseline. An FDM lets you track that performance monthly and set your own reduction targets. Insights Hub shows you your decarbonization hotspots and peer benchmarking and has initiatives for what you can do next to affect these values.
At the brand and supply chain level, Insights Hub aggregates that facility data into a supply chain emissions picture with hotspot analysis and peer benchmarking. And for those with Axion, scenario planning turns all of that into forward looking decarbonization strategy.
The connecting thread across all of it is the same, a credible, complete environmental baseline. Everything, the targets, the analysis, the strategy depends on the quality of the underlying data.
And for the verifiers in the room, your work sits at the foundation of this entire system. Ensuring the accuracy of assessment data is what gives everyone else the confidence to act on it.
Worldly's education team is here to support all of you, and we'll have more sessions along these lines. So I'll drop some links in the chat where you can see future sessions and everything in just a moment.
But let's go ahead and spend a few minutes walking through the platform and also answering any q and a's that you might have.
Great. So let me pop out of this.
Alright. And I'll pop over here. So feel free to submit questions as I go through this, but a couple things to know. I'm in a staging environment. So what that means is the development team is actively working on different things in this environment.
So if there's anything that looks a little bit different, I'll be sure to point that out, and that's just because it's currently under development. Also, if I run into any kind of funky errors, it's likely because I'm in that environment.
But at the top here, I'm currently in a facility account, but I do have access to a brand account and staging. So I'll show you both.
So for a facility, to get to your emissions, I'm going to go ahead and go to Higg FEM environmental.
So if you it will take you to the modules page, but you can also go to dashboard.
This will show you your existing FEM. If you want to see past options, you can click up here at the top. So if I go to twenty twenty four, this one has been submitted. So I can see my status is completed and it's been posted.
If I go to the results section, this is where you can see your scores as well as this greenhouse gas emissions tab. So this is where it will show your your absolute emissions. So if you do want to set an absolute goal, this is available here.
And then it also breaks down all of your emissions based on energy sources.
So in this case, I think I just use purchase electricity.
So like we mentioned before, that's your scope two value. So if you only use purchase electricity and you don't have any on-site generation or vehicles or anything like that, this may be the only value that you really need to worry about. But if you did have, for example let's see.
Like, solar photovoltaic on-site, that could also be part of your scope one emissions as well. So that's all kind of broken down here.
So this is where you can use it as a baseline.
And you can always re-baseline each year to kind of establish your new your new starting point. So completely up to you on how you want to manage that.
Then if I go back here, on an ongoing basis, you can also track your targets using facility data manager. So facility data manager is available to all facilities that have Higg FEM or FSLM or both. So this is something that you can use even if you're doing a social audit, but maybe you're curious about tracking environmental data or something like that. Facility data manager is available to you. So here is where you can see your energy use over time.
As you enter data, you can always backfill data as well, but you can enter data over time. When you hover, this will show you your actual purchased electricity amount and an energy use intensity value. So that's that per production amount. So you may use some of these as values for your calculations as well.
So if you haven't completed an Higg FEM, but you do have a year's worth of data that you could backfill, you can do that at any time in facility data manager. So it's a little bit more flexible in that. You don't have to wait for a yearly cadence to, you know, start it or start tracking things. It's it's a lot more flexible than that.
There's also the greenhouse gas section. So this will show you your emissions over time as well, and where they're coming from. So here we can see purchase electricity is the most of my emissions.
But if you do have vehicles that use gas or anything like that, that can also show up here as well as any refrigerant use.
So this is a great place to start if, you know, you're like, I don't have a year's worth of data. Or if you do have your baseline set and now you want to track your target moving forward. So you can set targets within FDM as well. So all you do is click set target, and you choose your target area.
And it has some notes here, so you can select all emissions, which is scope one and two, or you can select all energy or specific energy sources.
Some folks want to, you know, decrease the amount of purchase electricity they use, but increase the amount of on-site solar, for example. So you make your selection, and then you choose normalized or absolute.
Normalized is going to be per production unit. So that's that, you know, one point five kilograms CO two equivalent per item.
Whereas absolute is, you know, how however much I used in this entire time period, reducing that absolutely.
And then you enter your baseline quantity, the unit of measure, and then the year that you're starting. Then you can enter your target year, how much you want to change either going down or up, and then a brief description of how you are going to achieve that goal. In this way, let me go back to the dashboard.
I can show you an existing one.
So this way, as you continue to track your data, you'll see how you're progressing against your baseline. So in my instance, I haven't populated all of my data for twenty twenty five, so this is probably a little artificially low right now. But if you hover, it will show you, oh, okay. I don't have a complete year of data there. That's helpful. Now I can go backfill.
But this will show you, you know, how your target should be progressing. And if you continue to see yourself above that line or even above your baseline, you know, okay. Something's not working. I need to change my plan. I need to, you know, maybe figure out a different strategy, etcetera.
So your targets are here, and you can set multiple targets as you see. So depending on you know, maybe you want to set your near term and your long term SPTI target. You can do so here as well.
In addition to that, I know we're really talking about decarbonization goals and everything like that.
FDM and FEM also track your water usage as well as waste and and wastewater. So if you do want to set targets based on those attributes, you have the data within FEM or facility data manager in order to do so as well. So just be aware of that. I'll show you in FEM.
Let me actually just do that now. So if you do want to get to those water values or some different values, an easiest way is in Insights Hub, or you can always download the data to get to the raw data as well. But for facilities, you do have access to Insights Hub. I haven't submitted a twenty twenty five, FEM in this account, so that's why it's not showing anything.
So this first page is that, environmental baseline. This is going to kind of give you each section scoring and how you compare to peers. But if we pop over to decarbonization and this is something that both brands and facilities can view, just a different kind of scope of of data. So for facilities, it's just your own.
Whereas for brands, it's for any of those facilities that you're tracking.
So here, I can see my carbon intensity. So if you do want to set an intensity value as opposed to an absolute value, this may be where you want to come.
If you click on this, you can also see your year over year performance and how you're comparing against your peers. So here, I can see I'm in the upper quartile, which is not really where I want to be. I would rather be either in the medium or in the lower quartile, and I'm, you know, way above kind of my peers in this general area. So maybe carbon intensity is what I want to focus on.
However, if you are thinking about water, you can also pop over to the water section, and I don't know why it keeps popping into twenty twenty five, to see similar information. So water intensity as well as, you know, your water mix and where you're getting your water from. So these are pieces that you can use to establish your baseline, and you can use, you know, your difference versus the benchmark and your peers as a way to guide your strategy and how aggressive you want to be. And the reason I say that is that if your peers can achieve certain things, particularly if you're in your specific country, that indicates that there are things out there that you can do.
So just keep that in mind. This initiatives section is something that's also really helpful. I'm going to pop over to decarbonization, though, just to kind of stay on the topic that we've been discussing throughout. So if I go to decarbonization, this initiatives section is all of the kind of top things that generally move the needle.
So in this case, I can see I don't belong to an industry program that addresses emissions. Maybe that's a good first starting point in my decarbonization journey. I am tracking my energy. I do EACs and RECs, not purchasing offsets, and I haven't had an audit in the last five years.
So maybe that's something that I can focus on when it comes to figuring out what I can actually do on the ground to actually adjust these things. So that's kind of how Insights Hub works for a facility. If I pop over to my brand account, it's going to be very similar, but the data that displays is an aggregate view of all of the facilities that you're tracking. So let me go ahead and go to insights hub.
So this is what it looks like to a brand. It's very similar. At the top, you can see how many facilities are included. It will pull out outliers.
If you don't want to or if you do want to include those outliers, you can click on that I and then check this box. You can also just download the list of outliers if you just want to see, you know, what's showing up there, why is it an outlier, that sort of thing. And there's also the methodology here. I'm going to keep outliers excluded.
You'll also notice that there's production allocation. So eighty three percent of my facilities, I have defined the volume that I'm getting from those facilities. So when a facility tracks their production volume in the Higg FEM, that's all of their volume for all of their customers. It's not specific to you as a brand.
So if you click on this, this is where you can define the allocation. You can pop back over to it. So if I click on that, it will take me back to my modules page. And this is where you can define that production volume.
For individual ones, you can just click on this plus and define it. So in this case, you know, let's say I only had a thousand out of their two thousand total production. You can also upload. So if you want to upload in bulk, you can click upload.
There's a template that you can download. So if you have thousands of facilities or even hundreds and, you know, doing it one by one will be tedious, you can download the CSV and then populate the production volume and then upload it. And that will update all of these these values so that you can actually see the proportional view of that specific facility's performance. So that once you do that, then in Insights Hub let me close that.
That will update here. So right now, I've got eighty three percent of my FEM modules that are in this year, twenty twenty four, have been defined. So that gives you an idea of how many you might need to update or, you know, how many are kind of representing the total.
If you continue to define those further actually, let me pop over to that again. Sorry.
Once you define those, then you can always, you know, go into the overview.
You can see, like, the total greenhouse gas here if you want to do absolute reductions across everything.
But within Insights Hub, then that will once you define that, that will calculate accordingly. If you don't want to include that, you can always click production allocation off, and I'll show you what that changes. So if we turn that off, that's just saying total, grand total, look at my total intensity, etcetera.
So let me open this just a little bit, and let's find total emissions. So right now, this says four point four billion kilos c o two equivalent. And then if I turn production allocation on again
now we see it's two point three four.
So when you input your production allocation, that will really massively change your values here to be proportional to your actual, you know, production that you're getting from those facilities.
So, hopefully, that helps with Insights Hub. I know not everybody has Axion or PIC, so I'll just touch on those really briefly.
But if you are interested in either of these tools, do let me know. You can also reach out to b d. I'm going to send it in the chat. So b d at worldly dot io.
So that's an email address if you would like to discuss more about Axion or about PIC. So Axion is similar in nature to Insights Hub and what it's displaying about your own performance, But then it also pulls in those external datasets, you know, like predictive what will heat stress look like in this region in in five years, that sort of thing. So this first page where it's carbon is pretty similar to insights hub. So you do have this available so you don't have to hop back and forth between them. You can also allocate your production volume. So if we click on that, it goes from that four point four to two point three four like we saw before.
Then you can hop hop over to your hotspots and start to look at those regional analytics. So when you're making targets, something that's sometimes hard is I don't know what a reasonable, realistic target is to expect my facilities to do.
So one of those things is you can look here and see in each country what is really what is each facility able to do? So a lot of them have targets, so that's not impossible. Some of them have EACs. If you scroll down, you can see what's the actual renewable energy procurement maturity in that market.
So in China, there's a lot of options. But in Cambodia, it's a little bit less mature. So maybe I won't make that part of my target setting strategy for those specific facilities because they don't have as much access to these different things. So maybe I'll focus first on, you know, getting more renewable energy because there's going to be more available within that specific region.
So, hopefully, this is giving you a sense of where you can get to kind of this information. This is kind of on the next step of what do I actually want to do to meet these targets. So it gives you these breakdowns. And then in the scenario section, this is where the target setting that a facility has done can be reflected in your projections. So if you click on projection scenario, let's say I'm going to increase my overall volume by ten percent. I do want to factor in future grid decarbonization.
And let's say I want to look at what it would look like if we are net zero twenty fifty aligned. And then, also, I do want to see what this looks like if I factor in facility emissions targets. So if I click update, we can see how the chart changes.
And so I I think I was scrolled down a little bit, so it didn't really show. So I'll undo that. So the facility targets, you can see without facility targets, it's still going up. It does plateau a little bit.
Not plateau, but it's kind of gets to be more standard after a certain point. Whereas if I do factor in these targets, we can see now it's going slightly down. So facility setting targets, super important. It does change the calculations that a brand might make when they're looking at different sourcing decisions, etcetera.
You can also see, like, the carbon intensity and how that will change over time.
And then you can also do transition risk scenarios. So if you want to, you know, pass through half of the transition costs, you can change that, and that kind of shows you the different carbon costs. So these are more on that future forward looking side.
If I also, just briefly, to touch on product impact calculator and scope three.
So in products, you go to products, and this will take you to the product impact calculator. This is where you're seeing those scope three values, and let me refresh this, for each product. And so once you connect FEMs to your purchase orders and everything like that I'm not sure why this isn't loading, probably because it's staging.
But then you can see your total emissions for all of your products, which has highest impact product and highest impact category. Usually, this has, like, a bar chart that you can see here. But here, you can see, you know, your product's broken down. You can see the impact that it has.
And I don't know what that said. So staging is just being kind of funky. And you can also see how many purchase orders you've actually linked with your FEM. So, again, linking with your FEM is what allows that final assembly to be calculated.
So, hopefully, that helps. I think let me go into products because I think it'll show kind of the breakdown here. So yeah. So you can also get to your French EcoScore values here. Not specifically related to targets, but if you did want to dig in, that's available. And let's go ahead and click on this just so you can kind of see.
So you input all of your information.
And then in your purchase order section, you can search for your FEM modules and input however many, and then it's going to use that dataset to then calculate that scope three value.
So, hopefully, that helps to kind of put it in perspective how all of these tools flow and where the data goes and how it affects things.
But with that, I want to make sure I get to questions. So let's go ahead and answer some questions. So I see a question.
When will the Worldly greenhouse gas dashboard for Higg FEM modules be representing greenhouse gas emissions based on scope one and two and show the biogenic emissions being represented separately and not be reported as a part of overall emissions. Also, when will purchased EACs be allowed to reduce scope two emissions on platform? So that's an excellent question. Let me pop back over to my other account just to kind of give everyone context of of where this question is like, what the fields are that they're referring to.
So if I go into here so we get this question a lot. One thing I will say is that the Higg FEM gives you all of the data that you need in order to make these calculations. So even if it doesn't display explicitly right here, you know, a specific calculated value that you're looking for, Often, that can be found in the data downloads. You might have to add two fields together. So I totally understand that's not ideal.
But I will say right now, just make sure the I actually don't know off the top of my head about biogenic emissions being represented separately. The methodology for the Higg FM comes from Cascale. So they set up kind of the methodology, and then Worldly is the software platform that then takes that and turns it into software.
So I will get back to you. I don't know off the top of my head if that's planned or when that is planned. You should be able to pull down all of these values. This one doesn't have anything besides purchase electricity. But if you also go to the overview and click data downloads, there is a lot. So just be aware of that. You can export everything.
But you really just want to get into different energies sections, you can, you know, click CSV, and that will download that, and that will give you every data point related to those.
And then finally, the the question about purchased EACs allowed to reduce scope two emissions on platform. Right now, that is honestly a Cascale decision.
So they have part of their methodology decided not to have that reduce the overall value that you see here if you do have an EAC. However, that information is also available in the data downloads. So I totally understand that you're like, hey. That's not that's not really what I'm asking.
It would be nice if it were more easily accessible, but this is where you can get that information. So under renewable energy and under purchased energy, it's going to have a lot of data. So it's just a lot of data points. But I recommend downloading these, and then you should be able to calculate that your own.
One thing I do recommend, though, and this is something anybody can do if you are you know, if you have feedback on how the FEM is designed.
If you come to this section, there's a share your feedback section here, and let me just grab the link directly.
So if you're like, hey. This would be really nice in the FEM to have these things calculated differently or, you know, the way this is captured doesn't quite work for my use case, etcetera. I just shared the link to this forum in the chat. So if you do have feedback for Cascale on the FEM methodology, this is a great place to submit.
I will, though, say that I'll submit a feature request to have that kind of broken out. Because even if it's not something, you know, that they're using in their calculation for FEM, we still have the data. So in theory, we can still break it out for you. So I'll submit that as a a feature request to our product team.
Alright.
Great question.
Great. I don't see any other questions, and we are coming up right at time.
So if you do have a question, go ahead and submit it. But just to kind of close out this session, I hope this was helpful.
There's a brief survey after the session just asking, you know, how to go, what else do you want to learn.
Is there anything that was kind of missing from this? Totally open to your feedback. So I'll be following up with the recording as well as helpful links and things that I shared earlier. And, yeah, I hope this was helpful, and I hope you have a wonderful day. And thank you so much for your time and attention.
Goodbye.
