Zusammenfassung:Various examples are directed to using a web-based analytics system to determine a carbon footprint metric for a product. The web-based analytics system may import indirect carbon footprint data from an environmental compliance system and quantity structure data describing the product from an accounting system table. The web-based analytics system may identify, using the quantity structure data, a first constituent component for the product and import first constituent component carbon footprint data for the first constituent component. The web-based analytics system may identify an activity for the product and import activity carbon footprint data describing a carbon footprint for the activity. The web-based analytics system may determine the carbon footprint metric for the product using the first constituent component carbon footprint data, the activity carbon footprint data, and the indirect carbon footprint data.
