Behind this dataset
Same schema. As many rows as you need.
These 75 rows came out of a blueprint — 22 columns with generation rules behind each one. Open it in Data Factory to retune a column, add your own, wire in foreign keys, and run it at the size you actually need.
- Each record must include vendor name, activity type, and emission value (kg CO2e).
- Vendors flagged above threshold emission levels require review.
- Procurement events are tagged with responsible team member and date.
- Carbon offsets and mitigation actions are documented and linked to relevant activities.
- Only active supply chain events in the last 12 months are included.
