August 2026 — Explore any number, set targets, and attribute across entities

What's new in KfO this month: a rebuilt Evaluate section, emissions targets in Plan, and entity-to-entity attribution.

Explore your inventory from any starting point

Start anywhere, and move outward

Evaluate has been rebuilt around a simple idea: start from whatever you're looking at, and move outward from there.

Starting anywhere is as simple as a search. Type what you're after — the whole inventory, a scope, a GHG category, an activity, a measure class, a single building, or every supplier at once — and open it. Each result carries a magnitude bar showing its share of your inventory, so the largest contributors are obvious before you open anything.

Whatever you open, you get a headline with its trend, a chart and a breakdown table. From there you can move four ways:

  • Reframe — read the same thing a different way. Switch between emissions in tCO₂e and the underlying activity quantities, which come as one panel per unit rather than a single total. Your inventory total and Scope 1&2 also carry an all-time view, stacked by where each figure came from.

  • Broaden — step out to whatever contains it. A scope broadens to the inventory, a building to all buildings.

  • Peers — compare against the other things like it. Peers are read from your inventory for the period you're looking at, so you only ever see peers that actually have data.

  • Drill down — click any chart segment or table row to open it in its own right.

Compare buildings, suppliers, projects and business units

Buildings, business units, products, projects, suppliers and reporting entities are all first-class subjects. Evaluate any one of them on its own, narrow it to a single scope, category or activity, or look at the whole collection at once.

Each entity type also has a collection-wide insight: every entity ranked by size, a composition cross-tab showing which entities carry which activities, benchmarking averages, and per-activity detail with a benchmark line.

Set emissions targets in Plan

Set a target against any part of your inventory

Plan now holds targets. A target can be expressed three ways — an absolute figure to land on, an absolute reduction, or a percentage reduction — and each one is set against the part of your inventory it applies to: your total, a scope, a GHG category, an activity, or a measure class. So "cut Scope 1 by 40% by 2030" and "hold business travel under 500 tCO₂e" are both expressible, and both belong to the same plan.

Add the opportunities you're considering

Targets are what you're aiming at. Opportunities are the areas you've identified where emissions could be reduced — and they are what actually moves your pathway.

Each opportunity is a bounded percentage reduction against a part of your inventory and applies from a date you set, with a name and a description where you can record what the number is based on.

See the gap as you build the plan

One chart sits at the top of the plan, scoped to whatever you're working on. Focus a target or an opportunity and the chart follows it, or expand back out to your inventory total when you want the whole picture.

Your targets draw as lines against the projected pathway — one line each, so overlapping targets are all visible at once, and hovering a year compares the pathway against each of them. Change a figure and everything follows immediately, so the gap you're closing is visible while you're deciding rather than after you've saved.

Attribute a whole entity's activity to where it belongs

Say one of your business units is made up of a handful of buildings. Until now, seeing that business unit's footprint meant attributing each of those buildings' streams to it one at a time — and doing it again whenever the portfolio changed.

You can now say it once, at the level where it's true: those buildings make up that business unit. Their activity moves across whole, so emissions land where the accountability sits and your reporting boundary matches how the business is actually run — without restructuring your inventory to get there.

It works the same way for every entity type, so suppliers, projects and products are as straightforward as business units. Attribution can also carry through more than one level, which means you can set each relationship where you understand it rather than maintaining a single hierarchy across the whole organisation. Where you have already attributed a particular stream directly, that still stands — this is for when a whole entity moves, not a replacement for the finer control you have today. Both kinds of attribution appear in your exports.

To set one up, go to the entity taking the activity on and choose what it takes on from. You can pick several sources at once, and a source already attributed elsewhere shows you where it sits before you move it.
