Custom intensity targets can be used to enter any metric you would like and measure monthly reductions against it.

Create Custom Intensity Target

Select "Intensity" as your target type
Select your Target Year
Select "Custom" as your intensity metric
Select if your metric is an Average or a Total metric
- An average metric example would be total employees. For example we will not add all of your monthly total employees together as the annual total, we will take the average of those months.
- A total metric example would be total recycling waste. For this example we will add all of your monthly total recycling together to get your annual total.
Enter the title of your Custom Target
- In order to avoid duplicate targets you cannot create multiple targets with the same name. So please use a unique name.
Enter the description of your custom target
Enter your data
- Enter the values for each month
- You will be required to enter your data for the baseline year you have selected for your targets.
Select what percentage you want to reduce your custom metric by
Add as many custom metrics as your team would like by repeating the previous steps
