The Activity Indicator Report has been designed to allow organisations the flexibility to report according to Indicators. The report provides the opportunity to capture consumption and emissions by metrics such as Area, FTE or similar values that can offer a more tangible view of your data. The report also allows you to export the Indicators from the system and download data extracts. Activity Indicator Reports can be particularly useful for comparison or benchmark reporting.
Running the Activity Indicator report for a selected Activity Group produces totals in GJ and tonnes of CO2-e across the activities in the group where applicable. Normalised values are added if the indicator is common to each activity. Normalised values are also combined if an indicator’s unit and normaliser are the same across the activities. This can be helpful in acquiring overall values for the group.

The totals and normalised values displayed when reporting across an Activity Group may only be helpful for certain activity groups and their activities, as not all activities have the same fuel type.
Example 1:
Three Paper activities in a Paper Group may have the same unit (I.e. Reams) but different fuel types (I.e. 0-49% recycled paper, 50-74% recycled paper, 75-100% recycled paper).
Each activity may have its own indicator (i.e. Reams of 0-49% recycled paper/FTE, reams of 50-74% recycled paper/FTE, reams of 75-100% recycled paper/FTE).
Adding quantities of the different fuel types for these activities is meaningful, as is calculating their total normalised values in a Combined indicator.
Example 2:
Two activities in a Stationary Energy Group (I.e. Diesel Consumption, Liquefied Petroleum Gas Consumption) have the same unit (i.e. kL) but different fuel types.
Each activity may have its own indicator (i.e. kL of Diesel Oil/FTE, kL of Liquefied Petroleum Gas/FTE).
Adding quantities of the different fuel types is not necessarily meaningful in this case. Adding a quantity of a common measure (I.e. GJ, tonnes of CO2-e) is more helpful. Similarly with Combined indicators in this example, indicators for tonnes of CO2-e may be more useful.
