Apply DEFRA conversion factors automatically to validated activity data and produce accurate tCO₂e totals — without formula errors.
Carbon consultants rely on complex, nested spreadsheet formulas to convert kilowatt-hours, litres, and kilometres into tonnes of CO₂ equivalent. A single broken cell reference or outdated emission factor can silently corrupt an entire report. Clients and auditors increasingly demand transparency over the calculation methodology, yet most firms cannot trace a final figure back to its source formula without significant effort.
DEFRA publishes new conversion factors annually, yet many teams continue using last year's figures without realising.
A single broken cell reference in a shared workbook can cascade errors across every scope total.
Auditors cannot easily verify which factors and methodologies were applied to each data point.
Purpose-built capabilities — not generic templates you have to work around.
Map activity data to the correct DEFRA or custom emission factor automatically — no manual look-ups.
Import the latest DEFRA conversion factor tables each year and apply them across all active reports.
Aggregate tCO₂e totals by Scope 1, 2, and 3 with automatic sub-category breakdowns.
Every factor applied, unit converted, and total generated is recorded with a timestamp and user reference.
Receive notifications when a calculated total deviates significantly from the previous period — catching data-entry or factor errors early.
Switch between location-based and market-based Scope 2 methods within the same report.
Pull approved activity data from the collection workflow, already cleansed and unit-normalised.
Automatically match each data record to the appropriate DEFRA or custom conversion factor.
Compute tCO₂e at line level, then roll up into Scope 1, 2, and 3 category totals.
Senior consultants review variance flags, approve totals, and release figures for reporting.
Push approved totals into SECR, TCFD, or client-branded report templates.

SwiftCase ships with DEFRA/BEIS factors as standard and supports custom factor tables for EEIO, EPA, and industry-specific datasets. Factors are versioned so you can recalculate historical periods if needed.
Yes. The system supports both location-based and market-based methods side by side. You can apply supplier-specific emission factors from REGOs or Guarantees of Origin.
When DEFRA publishes new factors each June, you import the updated table. SwiftCase applies the new factors to the current reporting period while preserving historical calculations with their original factors.
