What to Exclude
Green Project Technologies will not be including any of the following in your emissions assessment:
Payroll (employee salaries and bonuses)
Employee benefits (pension contributions, health insurance, etc.)
Rent expenses for premises
Charitable donations or grants
Financial expenses (loan fees or interest on money borrowed)
Taxes or business rates at a national or local level
Transfer of funds between internal entities
You can exclude these yourselves before submitting your spend data, or Green Project Technologies will exclude them when calculating your emissions.
Where to Find Your Spend Data
Most of what you need is already in your company systems. Accounts payable, procurement records, your general ledger, accounting software, credit card statements, and supplier invoices are all good sources.
If you're unsure what to include, start with what's easiest to access — our team can help you organise and verify it before submission.

Hi [name],
We are supporting one of our key customers to understand the carbon impact of the products/services we deliver to them. There is business value in our participation.
To support them, I require an export of our spend (i.e. procurement) data. The data I need specifically is the spend amount for purchased goods and services.
For ease, you can use this template.
Please exclude any sensitive or personal data. This relates to identifiable information, including names, addresses or card numbers - for example, please do not include payroll or employee benefit information.
*If you could get this back to me by XX/XX/XXXX that would be great.
If you have any questions feel free to reach out to Green Project directly at [email protected]*
Thank you in advance for your help.
Best wishes,
[Your name]
