Reporting & Exports
scoped generates audit-ready reports across multiple sustainability standards and export formats. Navigate to the Compliance section to check your readiness, configure your report, and export.
Supported Standards
scoped supports the following reporting standards:
| Standard | Full Name | For | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| GHG Protocol | GHG Protocol Corporate Standard | Companies | The most widely used corporate GHG accounting standard. Covers Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions with detailed category breakdowns. |
| ESRS E1 | European Sustainability Reporting Standards — Environment: Climate Change | Companies | The climate chapter of the CSRD (Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive). Includes emission inventories, targets, transition plans, and climate-related financial effects. |
| ESRS LSME | ESRS Listed SME | Companies | A simplified version of ESRS for listed small and medium-sized enterprises. |
| GPC | Global Protocol for Community-Scale Greenhouse Gas Inventories | Municipalities | The standard for city- and municipality-level emissions reporting. Organizes emissions by sector (Stationary Energy, Transportation, Waste, IPPU, AFOLU). |
| GRI 305 | Global Reporting Initiative — Standard 305: Emissions | Companies | Disclosure standard for GHG emissions as part of broader sustainability reporting. |
| VSME | Voluntary SME Sustainability Reporting Standard | Companies | Available in Basic and Comprehensive tiers for SMEs that want to report voluntarily. |
| SBTi | Science Based Targets initiative | Companies & Municipalities | Validates that reduction targets are aligned with climate science (1.5°C or well-below 2°C pathways). |
| SFDR | Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation | Companies | Requires disclosure of sustainability-related information for financial market participants. |
Municipality organizations see GPC and SBTi as their primary standards. Company organizations see all other standards. Some standards (like SBTi) are available to both.
Export Formats
scoped offers multiple export formats to suit different use cases:
A print-ready, professionally formatted report. Includes all relevant sections for the selected standard: emissions inventory, methodology, data quality, targets, and evidence references.
HTML
A web-viewable version of the report that can be opened in any browser. Same content as the PDF but in a navigable web format.
CSV
A tabular data export containing your emissions data in a structured format. Useful for further analysis in spreadsheet tools or data pipelines.
JSON
A machine-readable export of your emissions inventory and report data. Useful for integrations, automated processing, or archival.
XBRL / iXBRL
XBRL (eXtensible Business Reporting Language) and iXBRL (Inline XBRL) are structured digital filing formats required for regulatory submissions.
scoped generates iXBRL reports aligned with the EFRAG ESRS taxonomy for ESRS E1 filings. This enables:
- Machine-readable regulatory submissions
- Structured data that can be validated by supervisory authorities
- Compliance with the European Single Electronic Format (ESEF)
iXBRL export is currently available for the ESRS E1 standard. Support for additional standards is on the roadmap.
Audit Bundle (ZIP)
A comprehensive audit package containing everything a reviewer or auditor needs:
| File | Description |
|---|---|
| Report (HTML) | The full formatted report |
| Data (CSV) | Raw emissions data |
| Manifest | Metadata about the bundle (generation date, standard, version) |
| Evidence Index | A listing of all evidence documents referenced in the report |
| iXBRL | The structured digital filing (if applicable) |
The audit bundle is designed for third-party verification and audit processes.
Readiness Checklists
Before exporting a report, scoped helps you verify that your data is complete and meets the requirements of your chosen standard.
Navigate to Compliance to see readiness checklists for each standard. The checklist covers:
| Check | What It Verifies |
|---|---|
| Scope coverage | All required scopes have data entries |
| Category completeness | All applicable emission categories have been addressed |
| Data quality | Quality scores meet minimum thresholds |
| Evidence | Key activities have supporting evidence attached |
| Targets | Reduction targets are defined (where required by the standard) |
| Methodology | Boundary, consolidation approach, and methodology are documented |
| Base year | A base year is set and baseline emissions are calculated |
Each checklist item shows its current status (complete, incomplete, or not applicable) and links directly to the section where you can address any gaps.
Standard-Specific Checklists
| Standard | Key Requirements |
|---|---|
| ESRS E1 | Scope 1, 2, 3 emissions; intensity metrics; targets; transition plan; climate financial effects |
| GPC | GPC sectors and scopes; data quality for activity data and emission factors |
| SBTi | Science-based targets with validated ambition and scope coverage |
| GRI 305 | Scope 1, 2, 3 disclosure; intensity ratio; methodology; base year |
Report Customization
You can customize which sections appear in your report:
| Section | Description |
|---|---|
| Methodology | Reporting boundary, consolidation approach, emission factor sources, calculation methods |
| Data Quality | Quality scores, method mix, uncertainty, evidence coverage |
| Targets | Reduction targets and progress |
| Evidence | References to supporting documents |
Report Settings
Configure your report parameters in Settings → Report Settings:
| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
| Boundary | Your organizational or operational boundary |
| Scope 3 screening | Which Scope 3 categories are relevant and included |
| Methodology | Document your calculation methodology and any deviations from the standard |
| Sign-off | Configure who must approve the report before it is finalized |
Report settings are organization-wide and apply to all reports. Configure them once and they will be used as defaults for every export.
Audit Trail
Every action in scoped — data entry, edits, deletions, report generation, evidence uploads — is logged in the audit trail. This provides:
- A complete history of all changes to your emissions data
- Who made each change and when
- The before and after values for any edit
The audit trail is accessible from Settings → Audit Trail and is essential for third-party verification and audit processes.
