Filtering, Grouping and Creating Custom Visualisations

Updated over 3 weeks ago

Green Project provides flexible visualisation tools so you can explore your emissions data in the way that's most useful to your business.

Filtering Your Data

Click Filter on any visualisation and select criteria by Scope, spending category, supplier, time period, or department. Use filters to focus on your biggest emissions drivers, compare categories side-by-side, track trends in specific areas, or isolate data for a presentation.

Grouping Your Data

Click Group By and choose to organise data by Scope, category, supplier, geography, or year. Grouping helps you identify which categories drive your emissions, understand whether a few suppliers dominate your footprint, spot geographic hotspots, and see trends over time.

Creating Custom Visualisations

Green Project supports:

  • Pie charts — for proportion (e.g., 60% Scope 3, 30% Scope 2, 10% Scope 1)

  • Bar charts — for comparing categories or years side-by-side

  • Trend lines — for tracking improvement over time

  • Stacked charts — showing composition and trends together

  • Waterfall charts — showing drivers of change year-over-year

To create a chart, navigate to Visualisations or Analytics, click Create New, select your chart type and data, choose your filters and grouping, add a title, and save to your dashboard.

Building Custom Dashboards

Combine multiple visualisations into a dashboard that tells a complete story — for example, a current-year snapshot, a 5-year historical trend, your top 10 emissions drivers, and your intensity benchmark against the industry average.

Dashboards are useful for stakeholder briefings, customer presentations, and management reporting.

Drill-Down Analysis

Where visualisations allow it, click on a section of a chart to zoom into that category or supplier, drill down further into underlying data, and click back to return to the broader view.

Exporting and Sharing

Export any visualisation as a PDF or image, share with colleagues, or schedule regular updates (weekly, monthly). Use exports in presentations, reports, or compliance archives.

💡 Start simple — a pie chart showing your top three categories often tells the story. Add context when sharing: "Our Scope 3 is 73% of total, down from 78% last year." Visualisations are a powerful communication tool; use them to engage stakeholders and drive action.
