Collect emissions data for sustainability reporting with the Persefoni® Template Spreadsheet

With the Persefoni Template spreadsheet, you can collect emissions data from Persefoni, such as to disclose in Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) or sustainability reporting.

Note: The Persefoni Template spreadsheet is provided by Workiva and requires a chain built to download emissions data from Persefoni. If you don't have the spreadsheet but are interested, contact your Customer Success Manager for details.

Step 1. Download emissions data from Persefoni

To download emissions data from Persefoni:

1. In the Control Sheet section of the Persefoni Template Spreadsheet, select Yes in the Refresh data column for Emissions. If necessary, also select whether to refresh Activities or Facilities data.
   
   

   Tip: In the Last Run Log column, you can view when data was last refreshed in the Spreadsheet.

2. From Wdata Chain Builder, click Execute for the chain built to refresh data from Persefoni.
   
3. Click Run with inputs, and select Emissions as the runtime input.
4. Click Start.

Step 2. Refresh the data in Spreadsheets

To refresh the Persefoni Template Spreadsheet with the latest emissions data from Persefoni:

1. From the Connections panel, select the years' data to refresh in the Spreadsheet.

Step 3. View and connect emissions data

From the Emissions Summary section, you can view the values collected from Persefoni for Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3 emissions.

Tip: Your template may include an Intensity Calculations section. From this section, you can perform any calculations to measure emissions intensity, such as for mobile combustion, purchased electricity, and the average employee.

Use the values collected as needed for reporting:

• Track the status, assignee, and year of the data collected.
• Connect values' cells to Program metrics as applicable.
