GLOBAL country code

We developed a 'GLOBAL' country code with a global average emission factor for each possible business activity. Plan A uses this as a fallback when we don't have a country-specific emission factor, and you can use it as a value to enter when uploading data.

Fallback emission factor

Whilst we are constantly working to expand our coverage of country-specific emission factors, we cannot guarantee that we can apply a location-specific emission factor for every country. As such, when we do not have a location-specific emission factor for the country you have entered, we apply a global emission factor to calculate your emissions. This happens automatically when we calculate your emissions.

You can see where GLOBAL fallback emission factors have been used in the report export by reviewing column K ('Fallback emissions location') of each emissions category sheet. Where 'GLOBAL' is listed, a global fallback emission factor has been used, whereas 'MIXED' in this column refers to instances where multiple conversion factors and/or emission factors are utilised in the calculation with a mixture of location-specific and global values being used. 'No fallback' means location-specific emission factors have successfully been used.

Fallback data option

The GLOBAL country code can also be entered when you upload data. Whilst this isn't advised, as country-specific data will yield much more accurate emissions values, it can be used when you don't know the country. For instance, in Purchased Goods and Services, we require you to enter the country for each supplier. However, if you don't have access to this data, you can enter 'GLOBAL'.
