Understand the category

What do purchased-services factors estimate?

Purchased-services factors are mainly monetary ratios used to estimate emissions associated with professional, digital, financial, accommodation and other services. They are useful when no representative physical activity data is available.

Choose the right factor

How should a purchased-services ratio be selected?

  1. Select the service category that best matches the supplier activity.
  2. Check the currency, price year and whether tax is included in the expenditure basis.
  3. Document the uncertainty and replace monetary estimates with supplier data when possible.
Frequently asked questions

Questions about purchased-services factors

Why are these factors often monetary?

Many services do not have a simple physical unit, so expenditure provides a practical screening measure.

Should inflation be considered?

Yes when expenditure and the factor use different price years. Apply a documented conversion consistent with the factor methodology.

Can supplier-specific data replace a monetary ratio?

Yes, when it is reliable, appropriately allocated and covers a comparable greenhouse-gas boundary.
