Decarbonisation
Our carbon accounting tools are primarily designed for complete organisational accounting. With extensive tools and features for organising and aggregating your emissions fitting for your organisation and structure.
The hybrid approach to carbon accounting is a methodology that combines both top-down and bottom-up accounting techniques to provide a comprehensive assessment of an organization’s greenhouse gas emissions.
At Morescope, we allow companies to use their existing financial spend data to provide a top-down analysis of greenhouse gas emissions in Scope 1, 2 and 3 (“spend-based method”). Then, companies can easily replace these top-down estimates with more granular data per emission-inducing activity (“activity-based method”) wherever they have this data available. As a minimum, users need to replace spend-estimates with activity data in Scope 1 and 2 as per the GHG Protocol and wide-ranging best practice.
Overall, the hybrid approach facilitates a balanced and nuanced understanding of greenhouse gas emissions, enhancing transparency and accountability in sustainability reporting. Read more about the Morescope Hybrid Approach here.
As climate-reporting requirements are increasing with regulations such as the CSRD, companies have to show completeness in their carbon accounting for all scopes. Getting to a complete GHG inventory can be resource intensive, with our spend based model you get a high quality, complete GHG inventory using your company’s financial data.
Some of the key advantages of our system:
Morescope uses a proprietary environmentally-extended input-output model, originally developed at SINTEF, one of Europe's larges research institutes. The model calculates your emissions based on data from you financial/accounting system, mapping your suppliers, their location and the transactions amount. By running this data through our model, we can predict the sector and category of the transaction which our algorithm takes into account and calculates an estimated emissions amount for that transaction.
VAT is included in your transactions amounts, but is automatically excluded from your emissions estimations.
When uploading transactions your have three options, we highly recommend using one of our integration partners for this, as it sets you up for automatic upload of transactions for as long as you would like. If you provider is not yet supported you can upload your transaction either through upload of SAF-T or CSV file.As for uploading transactions manually simply click upload transactions while inside your inventory and follow the on screen instructions. You will be asked to download a template file where you can add your own data for upload. Required fields in the template include name, amount and date. Organization number and country will help increase the accuracy of our model.
For integrations you select the link below that matches your provider, and follow the in depth guides below.
Our spend model generates estimated emissions based on country and sector of your transactions and helps you categorize them in the GHG Protocol. Because of uncertainties in data, the country and suggested sector of your transactions may not be perfectly correct. It’s therefore adviced that you go through your transactions to double check if they are correct.
To help you through this you can select “All uncertain matches” to quickly highlight the transactions were our model is especially uncertain. The model will also color your transactions based on its certainty.
Throughout this process you have some useful tools at your disposal. All available when you hover over a transaction.
Emission sources in Morescope are activity based emissions, which are emissions estimated from consumption data. This way of estimating is considered of higher quality than spend based emissions, because here we are specifying how much of something specific our consumption is.
You have specific consumption data of your fossile fuel consumption for your car fleet.
Navigating to Scope 1 and the sub-category Mobile consumption, you can create a new "emission source". There you can select the specific fuel type you have purchased or used, and enter your consumption data on a annual, quarterly or monthly interval.
Getting to a complete GHG inventory fit for compliant reporting, can be resource intensive and time consuming.
It is therefore important to spend your time where it provides most value. Always try to prioritise your time and efforts after what is most material to you.
Every scope category in Morescope have relevant emission factors from our parameter library accessible when you create an emission source.
When you create an emission source and select a parameter, we automatically select a variant of the parameter that we rate as the highest quality, and of course of the corresponding year you are in.
In the interface, and your exporting, you will always see the full emission factor and where we are getting it from - for full transparency.
Our full parameter library, with 30 000 + factors is always accessible to you inside Morescope, and is constantly maintained and expanded upon.
If you cannot find emission factors for certain activities, contact us and we will see if we can find them for you.
In addition to our parameter library with emission factors, you can also search for EPDs across many international EPD libraries directly in an emission source, by selecting "Search for EPDs".
For certain scope categories we have integrations available for fetching your activity data automatically.
For 2.1 Purchased electricity we can fetch your energy consumption directly from your meters, if you as a company have any electricity meters registered in Norway. We integrate directly to Elhub.
For 3.3 Fuel and energy related emissions, we automatically generate energy and fuel related production, transportation and transmission emissions, based on the emissions you add in Scope 1 and Scope 2.

For organisations who are financing other companies, projects or activites, we measure and attribute greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions as Financed emissions.
In Morescope, companies who are providing business loans or active as financiers of different asset classes, we have specific methodology and easy to use workflow for you to account for these emissions.
Financed emissions are to be accounted for directly in your normal annual inventory, in category 3.15 Investments.
For an in-depth documentation on what data should be collected, how attribution factor s are calculated depending on the asset class of the financed emissions, read more about that on our methodology page.
All financed emissions are accounted in Scope 3, category 15 Investments.
To leverage our efficient spend based model, you can upload your financed emissions directly into 3.15 by uploading CSV/EXCEL file with all your financed emissions.
Follow the downloadable template by clicking "Upload financed emissions" in 3.15.
After uploading your financed emissions and gotten spend based estimates, you can overwrite them by adding them to a activity-based "Financed emission" below.
1. Click "+ Financed emission"
2. Choose the relevant asset class
3. Optionally, input loanee/investee info, country, and industry
4. Assign a data quality score (1-5)
5. Enter the financed Scope 1-3 emissions
6. Calculate or input the attribution factor
1. Click "+ Financed emission"
2. Choose the relevant asset class
3. Optionally, input loanee/investee info, country, and industry
4. Create a data request and share with the loanee
5. Once the form has been responded to, you will recieve an in-app notifiaction.

Our ESG Due diligence solution is here to help you get an overview of your suppliers and their risks and provides tools so that you can create actions and track risks in order to mitigate or prevent them from becoming realized.
This product heavily relies on AI generated content, screening company reports and fetching relevant data to generate assessments. While this has been thoroughly tested, AI can make mistakes and we strongly recommend that you revise the AI assessed information on specific suppliers before using the data in your reporting.
Head into the supplier overview to get an oversight of all your suppliers. The risk scores from the 13 risks are aggregated up to total risk scores for Environment, Social & Governance (1). This page provides a quick overview of your status towards suppliers (2), and where we recently have found news regarding your suppliers (3). You can navigate to a specific supplier by clicking on its name.
Through Plan, prioritize and mitigate you can quickly narrow down which suppliers to focus on, and by selecting the filter (1) you can limit the view to only show risks above a certain value. The navigation on the left hand side (2) allows you to filter on suppliers that are exposed to specific risks, so you can quickly get an overview of which suppliers have potential negative risk exposure for specific risks. The toggle at the bottom (3) changes the way that risks are aggregated either weighted by spend or by maximum value. When the toggle is selected, risks in the left hand navigation are weighted by spend. When not selected they are shown as a maximum value within that risk. When a single risk is selected the scores for each company is an absolute score. When several risks are selected the score shown on companies is the average between these scores.
In this view you can also prioritize a selection of risks and suppliers (4). These prioritized risks will be displayed in the results tab (coming soon), where you can export these risks, and with the help of AI create a summary of assessments, actions and incidents for the prioritized risks and suppliers.
Clicking on a supplier's name from anywhere in the app takes you to their company page. Here you can access information about the supplier (1), its adverse impacts (2) and related documents (3).
The Information tab displays some general information about the supplier as well as statistics regarding your spend to that supplier. Intensity defines the tC02e per NOK spent, sector expenditure defines how much of the spend in the sector is attributed to the supplier. The exposure is the total amount of spend that goes to this supplier.
In the adverse impacts tab you get an overview of the risks that this supplier is associated with. Navigate through the different categories like in the prioritize, plan & mitigate tab. Here you have an overview of each specific risk and their exposure. Including the location based score from the International Labour Organization (https://www.ilo.org/ ) and the International Trade Union Organization (https://www.ituc-csi.org/ ) as well as environmental scores from the Gloria database (https://ielab.info/labs/ielab-gloria).
The suppliers within the top 80% of your spend or a minimum of 48 suppliers are also screened on the 13 risks using our network of agents. You can find them on each specific risk and they will be presented as assessments (1), and you can also access reports and sources from the supplier that have contributed to the assessment (2). If there are any specific news related to a specific supplier and risk they will appear here as incidents (3) Create your own assessments, This article explains how we utilize AI agents when screening risks to ensure valuable results. If there is no need to assess suppliers and their risks specifically you can also create a note, allowing you to quickly document the overall findings from the supplier. You can view all your notes by deselecting the risks you are in and you can create a note from this view or from the header.
The documents tab stores all documents gathered for a specific supplier, and enables you to communicate with your suppliers through the creation of forms and form templates. When creating forms you can add several types of questions, requests for documents, as well as upload your code of conduct for your supplier to sign. Publishing the form to the suppliers page will upload that form to a page that’s shared between you and your supplier, and is accessible for your suppliers through a link. Any information received from the supplier will appear in its supplier page or on the home dashboard where you can view all documentation received across all suppliers. If you have created a template that you wish to use on several suppliers, you can save it as a template. This allows you to use this template with your other suppliers, and in the future you will be able to send a template to many suppliers at the same time.
Prioritized risks and suppliers are added to the results page. In this view you can summarize all the assessments, incidents and actions across all the suppliers within the risk. The data here will be sharable through a sharable link and you will be able to export the data into a word document containing all remaining data points for compliant transparency act reporting.
