Updates
Product carbon footprint: The Product carbon footprint feature is now available for public preview. For more information, see Calculate product carbon footprint (preview).
Allocations: The Allocations feature is now available for public preview. For more information, see Allocate emissions using reference and activity data (preview).
Social and governance: The Social and governance feature is now generally available. For more information, see Track your social and governance data.
Data collection enhancements: You can now collect Social and Governance (S&G) data as structured concepts and facts from various data providers within your organization. With the introduction of multi-level approval workflows, you can route responses through a structured review process to ensure data accuracy and accountability.
Metric calculation: The Metric calculation feature is now available for public preview. For more information, see Calculate reporting metrics (preview).
Data capture (preview) deprecation: The Data capture (preview) solution will be deprecated on November 7, 2025.
Fixes
Incremental refresh will update the entire dataset
Incremental refresh on import connections should pick up only new or updated datasets instead of the entire dataset. There was an underlying platform issue with the dataflows. This issue is fixed now.
Calculation model nodes are not updated when the source is changed
When a user updated the activity data in the source node of a calculation model, any preexisting reporting nodes kept pointing to the old activity data. This issue is fixed now.
Renewable energy visuals doesn't support higher precision of data
The visual is updated to show higher decimal precision information.
Check-in on goals for Purchased electricity (emissions) would show zero as the aggregated value
Fixed the issue with the query for the aggregated computation logic to return a non-zero value.
Calculation model generation using Generative AI throws error
The issue was due to a change in the underlying platform capability that needed additional headers as per the error message being shown to end users. The fix is implemented within the plugin code to augment the request with additional headers.
CSRD report is missing data for Scope 2 sources
This issue was due to missing data while creating the report. This issue is fixed now.
DEFRA 2024 Water treatment emission factor has incorrect value
The factor values are updated as per the standards.
Product category visual on emissions insights is not working
The visual is fixed to show the split by product category.
IEA libraries are missing some factor mappings
The factory library data is updated to include the missing records.
OCID column is missing in Greenhouse gases and Employee commuting
The column is added to the data model to support upsert operations.
Condition node in calc model doesn't show some reference data table
The issue occurred due to a limit set on the query. This issue is fixed now.
Data connection lookup maintenance removal
Previously, data connections—created at the point of ingestion—were being maintained even after the data was calculated. This caused confusion and inefficiencies, as systems continued to reference irrelevant connection lookups, making it difficult to distinguish between raw (precalculated) and processed (calculated) emissions data.
The maintenance of data connection lookups post-calculation is now removed. This change ensures that after data is calculated, its connection metadata is no longer retained unnecessarily. As a result, organizations can now clearly differentiate between calculated and precalculated emissions, improving traceability and reducing lookup overhead.
