Business value
Franchise businesses can benefit from calculating scope 3 category 14 emissions by identifying opportunities to improve supply chain sustainability and reduce costs across all locations. Managing these emissions can improve brand reputation, customer loyalty, and regulatory compliance while attracting and retaining franchisees.
Feature details
In this release, Microsoft Sustainability Manager has more tools to track and report on emissions related to scope 3 category 14: Franchises. This category refers to the greenhouse gas emissions generated by franchisees operating under a company's brand, as well as emissions from the supply chain associated with those franchisees.
This feature includes the following key components:
- Data model: We've updated the data model to make it easier to collect and organize activity data related to scope 3 category 14: Franchises.
- Ingestion: Our system now has improved ingestion capabilities for this category, making it easier for you to enter activity data and calculate emissions. You can still enter pre-calculated emissions if you prefer.
- Default calculation models: We've included calculation models to help translate activity data into greenhouse gas emissions. This makes it easier for you to compute you carbon footprint including franchisee emissions.
- Reporting: This feature makes it easier for sustainability managers to track and report on greenhouse emissions across the supply chain.
