Dashboard

Learn how to use the main dashboard and analyze your data

The DitchCarbon dashboard is your central hub for monitoring and analyzing carbon emissions across your organization and supply chain.

Filter the Dashboard by Project and Year

  • Select specific project(s) to display (if you have multiple projects) or choose "All Projects" to see a combined view.
  • Choose a specific year or all years of spend data to focus your analysis.

View the Embodied Emissions Estimate of Your Portfolio

  • In the Embodied Emissions section, see the total emissions across your chosen project(s) and year(s).
  • Toggle between using organization-specific primary data where available and using industry-average emission factors only to calculate your emissions.
  • View changes in total spend and total emissions for each year.

Analyze the Carbon Intensity of Your Spend Over Time

  • The Carbon Intensity of Spend line graph shows your carbon intensity (emissions relative to spend) across different years.
  • Compare the line using organization-specific primary data where available (solid line) vs. the industry-average (dotted line).
  • Monitor how your portfolio's carbon intensity changes over time, a helpful metric for procurement teams to evaluate the impact of their actions.

Analyze Your Portfolio Based on Different Reporting Criteria

  • The Reporting Status section breaks down which organizations in your porfolio:
    • Disclose any carbon data
    • Disclose to CDP and are committed to Science Based Targets
    • Disclose Scope 1, 2, and 3
    • Provide a organization-specific emission factor
  • Click on any metric to drill down and view the specific organizations behind those stats.

Track Your Progress Toward Science Based Target Goals

  • The SBTi Progress widget shows which organizations have committed and set validated Science Based Targets
  • View this by percentage of your emissions, percentage of your spend, or percentage of organizations covered.
  • Track how your portfolio's SBTi coverage evolves over time.

Identify Key Organizations to Focus on Using the Carbon Intensity Heat Map

  • In the Carbon Intensity Heat Map, bubble size represents total emissions from spending on each organization, by default.
  • Bubble color indicates how well the organization performs relative to peers in the same industry.
  • Large red bubbles signal organizations with high emissions and poor performance, making them priority candidates for engagement or replacement.

Identify Key Regions Your Portfolio Is Exposed To

  • The Global Emissions Distribution map shows where your emissions occur geographically.
  • Absolute view: highlights countries based on grid intensity (green = lower intensity, red = higher intensity).
  • Relative view: shows hotspots of emissions tied to your actual spend, helping you pinpoint key areas of focus.
