Company structure is currently available to a limited number of users in BETA. Users with Company structure enabled will see ‘entities’ instead of ‘facilities’ across the product.
Defining your company structure
Get started by clicking Define your structure in-app.
Mapping out your company structure will be the first step on your data collection journey. This will enable you to seamlessly upload and view your emissions in the hierarchy that matches your organisational boundaries.
Your Company structure will always start with your Company name as your Level 1 entity. From there, you can build and add new entities across multiple levels.
What are entities?
Entities represent structural components of your organisation, such as offices, factories, stores, or other distinct units. They reflect the physical or operational divisions within your company.
In your emissions dashboard and reports, entity levels act as filters and aggregation layers. For example, you can filter emissions by entity name or entity level. All data uploaded must be linked to an entity.
What are entity levels?
An entity level represents a layer in your organisation’s structure.
You should create your entity levels in the hierarchy that matches your organisation — for example:
Level 1: Head Office or entire company
Level 2: Regional division or country branch
Level 3: Local sites like individual stores or facilities
This layered structure lets you see and manage your emissions data in different levels of detail — from company-wide totals down to specific sites.
What are the differences between entities and tags?
Entities are part of your Company structure. They represent the formal organisational units in your business — for example, subsidiaries, branches, or departments. They help you organise emissions data in line with your legal or reporting structure.
Tags are flexible, custom labels you can add during data collection to create additional breakdowns. They aren’t tied to your organisation’s structure — instead, they help you filter and analyse data in ways that matter to you, such as by project, event, client, or trip purpose.
Can I delete an entity?
Entities can only be deleted or renamed if no emissions data is associated with them.
If you want to delete or rename an entity that has emissions data, you’ll first need to delete any uploaded data linked to that entity. Once the data is removed, you’ll be able to delete or rename it.
If an entity has closed down, you don’t need to delete it — you can mark it as closed instead. To do this, click ‘Edit entity’ in the Company Structure and select ‘Close entity’.
