The Royal Mail has given the client an Intensity measure of 0.165kg CO2e per average parcel. Just wondering if there is a better way of setting this up rather than putting in a custom conversion factor? We seem to be putting in a quite a few custome factors!

Hi Richard,

This is a typical example of a custom emission factor (i.e., a supplier specific one).

What other custom factors do you have in the system?
