Continia Sustainability offers a standard report that shows emissions grouped by scope and category, following the GHG Protocol's guidelines. You can also create your own reports and choose how much detail to include. For example, you can add columns for emissions from different years, making it easier to compare and analyze the data. For more general information on how to set up a report and work with row and column definitions, you can refer to learn.microsoft.com.

    The View Environmental Report option allows you to see the report with your current settings, but changes to filters will only affect your view and will not be visible to other users.
