Direct Supplier

Getting started

How to get started 

Below we have listed the data sets typically expected by your role. Following a step-by-step approach, you identify key data sources to later on be able to explore practical methods for managing allocation and data conversion to ensure compatibility with the CarbonCloud platform. This will help you simplify and streamline calculations. 

Your datasets as a direct supplier are typically: 

Datasets* Data fields Description 
GENERAL
  • Name of product
  • Type of product
  • Country of production**
  • Your processing/storage country***
  • Ship to country

**Country of production - Where the last substantial transformation of the final product took place. Bottling, Labeling, Packaging is not considered as such.

***Processing and storage Country - Where your organization process, handles, or interact with the product in any way.
Leave blank if not applicable.
TRANSPORT
  • From/To
  • Mode of transport
  • Fuel type
  • Distance
  • Refrigerated – Yes/No
 By default, the PCF from transport is calculated based on country of production and ship-to. If you know the specific transportation routes for this product, add them. This will replace the default estimations. If you have multiple ship-to countries, provide primary data for each individually.
VOLUMES
  • Sales volumes: tonne/year
  • Year

Prepare your data for the CarbonCloud Platform 

The CarbonCloud platform is a platform developed for different kinds of products, not only for the alcoholic beverage industry. This is the reason why some data needs to be converted, and some terminology needs further explanation.  

Converting Volume units to kilograms 

CarbonCloud uses kilograms (kg) as the standard unit for all calculations. 
For beverage products, this means: 

  • Ingredients: Your batch size must be entered in kg. 
  • Packaging: The product’s net content must be entered in kg. 
  • Energy Use: The final product output must also be entered in kg. 

How to convert liters to kilograms 

If you have an amount in liters (L) and need to convert it to kilograms (kg), you must know the density of the product. 

Conversion formula: kg = liters × density 

How to register for PCF reporting

To be able to report climate data in our Product Carbon Footprint tool and then gain the insights, you need to register the product/article for reporting (can only be done by direct suppliers to Systembolaget). This can be done at Leverantörsportalen by the end of March.
