ESG - flexible data Input with multi-unit Support for GHG emisssions.

Background:
To calculate CO₂ emissions accurately, organizations collect activity data from various sources—often provided in different units depending on the supplier, region, or system (e.g., electricity in kWh, fuel in liters, travel in km, waste in tons). Manually converting these units is time-consuming and error-prone.

Proposed Idea:

Add the possibility to allows users to input ESG data in multiple common units to standardized units for calculation (e.g., kg CO₂e).

Key Features:

• Support for common units such as:

  • Energy: kWh, MWh, GJ

  • Fuel: liters, m³, gallons

  • Distance: km, miles

  • Mass/Weight: kg, tons

• Unit selection dropdown at data entry points

• Ability to add custom unit conversions (for company-specific or local metrics)

Benefits:

• Reduces manual effort

• Increases usability for international or multi-departmental teams

• Ensures consistency and accuracy in carbon footprint and ESG reporting
