Hi
Our company would like to report CO2 emissions for all types of travel outside of personal mileage but none of this is captured in train, bus, taxi expenses.
an option was adding a custom field “from location, to location and mileage” all manually added - however this then shows on every expense type even if not relevant (and duplicates on personal mileage) and also is free text so can be inaccurate as employees typically don’t know distances exactly.
how can we do this? What have other companies done to ensure they can report on sustainability and CO2?
Thanks in advance

Hello @AlisonHG
I am not sure how big your company is or how enthusiastic the employees are about detailed reporting. However, asking them to input 'from and to' distances and mileage for train, taxi, and other public transport may not be realistic. Technically speaking, you should be able to introduce additional expense entry forms (professional edition) to the system to have the desired fields only for the target expense types.
Here is a general approach to calculating CO2 emissions with only expense data on trains, taxis, and public transport use by employees:
Use the formula: CO2 Emissions = Distance Traveled x Emission Factor
Train Example:
Taxi Example:
Public Transport Example:
By following these steps and utilizing standardized emission factors, companies can estimate their CO2 emissions from employee travel even when only expense data is available.
Hope this helps

Thank you - we are a medium sized company.
we have gone down the route of custom fields - it isn’t ideal but unfortunately the reports aren’t the level of reporting currently done which need to look at as much of accurate start and from location.
