A workspace is where all of a company’s assessments, data, and results live. If you’re measuring your own organisation, you’ll usually have one workspace. Consultants and advisors can run a separate workspace per client to keep data cleanly separated.

​
1. Create the workspace

After signing in for the first time, you’ll be prompted to create a workspace. Give it the name of the company being measured — not your own name — since everything inside it (assessments, reports, exports) will carry this label.

​
2. Add company details

Fill in the basics about the organisation:
  • Legal name and trading name
  • Industry — this helps Salvidia pick appropriate default emission factors for spend-based estimates
  • Country and region — emission factors for things like electricity vary significantly by grid, so location matters
  • Reporting period — most organisations align this with their financial year
Getting the industry and region right up front improves the accuracy of every spend-based estimate in your assessments. You can change these later, but results calculated before the change won’t automatically update.

​
3. Invite your team

You can invite colleagues to the workspace so data collection doesn’t bottleneck on one person. A common split:
  • Finance handles the accounting connection and spend data
  • Operations fills in activity data like fuel, fleet, and waste
  • Whoever owns sustainability reviews results and pulls reports

​
4. Connect your data source

The fastest path to a footprint is connecting your accounting platform, so Salvidia can work directly from your ledger. If you’d rather not connect directly, you can import data from CSV or spreadsheets instead — the platform supports both.

With your workspace ready, it’s time to create your first assessment.
