We just deployed the second part of Sprint 58 to production including:

• Footprint: Now, when entering data points, users have the flexibility to specify units other than kWh. If an alternative unit is selected, the conversion path is displayed via an info icon, adhering to CDP rules that convert from volume to mass to energy to emissions.
• Footprint: Users can now input custom emission factors, including well-to-tank, biogenic, and location-based factors, providing enhanced flexibility and accuracy in data entry.
• Footprint: It is now possible to assign a person to a data point, with the designated individual receiving email notifications containing a direct link to the data point for improved collaboration and communication.
• Bug Fix: We have resolved a bug that previously prevented the input of a footprint data point from accepting zero or being left empty, ensuring smoother data entry processes.
• Bug Fix: Another bug has been fixed, addressing an error that occurred when attempting to delete a user who was still assigned to a footprint document or data point.
• Bug Fix: We have fixed an issue where footprint activities were not immediately updated after making edits to a data point or changes to an uploaded Excel file, eliminating the need for a manual reload to see the updates.
• Database: Over the weekend, we performed an upgrade on our production database, resulting in a 15-minute downtime on Saturday to ensure optimal performance and reliability.
• FAQ: Our FAQs within the software have been replaced with a publicly visible Notion page, where we have transferred our existing FAQs and plan to expand with additional content, including common use-cases and technical documentation. This new platform offers easy editing capabilities and supports various media types for enhanced user experience and accessibility.

Release Sprint 58 Part 1

We just deployed intra-sprint to production including:

• Footprint: We have introduced the option to enter energy consumption directly within the platform, offering users an alternative to Excel upload. Users can now create data points, specifying the energy source and reporting frequency (yearly or monthly).
• Onboarding: Our onboarding emails have been revamped, with three outdated ones removed to streamline the onboarding process and provide users with more relevant information.
• Servers: To enhance performance and responsiveness, we have doubled our server capacity, enabling us to handle a greater volume of user requests while ensuring optimal application functionality.

Release sprint 57

We just released the fruits of sprint 57 to production. This includes:

• Footprint: We have introduced separate calculations for biogenic emissions. This means that if you utilize a biogenic energy source, it is now accounted for three times: 1. As biogenic, outside the normal footprint. 2. As part of Well-to-tank (scope 3.3). 3. As residual emissions in scope 1 and 2.
• Menu: To enhance clarity, we have reorganized the menu structure by relocating Roadmap and Insights inside Reduction. This adjustment provides a more logical separation of modules, particularly for customers utilizing both features.
• Multi-mandate: We have enabled companies to create their own companies or organizational units within their hierarchy. In addition, we offer the option to isolate child companies completely, providing multi-mandate capabilities. This feature is particularly beneficial for consultancies seeking to manage their clients effectively.
• UI: We now display tons of CO2e with only two decimal digits instead of three, improving readability and making it easier for users to distinguish between decimals and thousand separators.
• Bug Fix: When replacing a document, the upload date is now correctly updated, ensuring accurate document management.
• Bug Fix: We have resolved an issue where clicking on an Action within Action Management while visiting a child company would redirect to the Dashboard instead of opening the Action. This issue has been fixed.

Release sprint 56

We just deployed the results of sprint 56 to production. This includes:

• Footprint: We have expanded our unit support beyond kilowatt-hours (kWh) to include various options such as liters or cubic meters. Following the CDP guidelines, we convert volume to mass, then mass to energy, and finally, energy to emissions. This conversion path is now visualized in the activity table. The supported units include kWh, kg, l, MWh, GWh, Wh, kJ, MJ, GJ, TJ, toe, tce, kcal, Mcal, Btu, kBtu, NBtu, g, t, lt, st, lb, m3, ml, ft3, galUK, galUS, and bbl.
• Footprint: In the footprint results view, we have eliminated the location-based column from scopes where it is not applicable, such as in scope 3, ensuring a more streamlined and relevant presentation.
• Footprint: Users can now be assigned to an Excel template, with notifications sent via email. This feature facilitates a structured data collection workflow on the platform.
• Footprint: A bug causing the filter in the Activity log to display incorrect values has been fixed, ensuring accurate and reliable filtering.
• Holding: The company chooser now displays subsidiaries indented, providing a clearer visualization of the hierarchical tree structure between organizational units.

Release Sprint 55

• Footprint: We have introduced support for scope 3.3 emissions, which means that all energy-related emissions are now doubly accounted for—once for their initial scope and once for well-to-tank in 3.3. Additionally, we have enriched our emission factor database with corresponding factors.
• Footprint: Users can now view emissions of energy in kilowatt-hours (kWh), providing a more detailed and informative perspective on energy-related environmental impact.
• Footprint: Holders now have the capability to showcase the aggregated footprint of both the holding itself and all its subsidiaries, offering a comprehensive overview of environmental impact.
