Platform / Structure
Different sources. Same language.
Raw operational data arrives in dozens of formats. Structure it once using shared classifications, so every calculation, report, and audit speaks the same language.
Used by 200+ organizations across 26 countries
Inconsistent data leads to inconsistent results
One system records fuel in litres, another in cubic metres. Waste categories don't match between providers. Supplier A calls it "transport," Supplier B calls it "logistics."
When structure varies, emissions calculations become guesswork. Year-over-year comparisons fall apart. Auditors start asking questions no one can answer.
Structure makes data usable across the system
Incoming data is mapped to shared schemas and classifications. Units are normalised. Categories are aligned. Every record becomes comparable, across sources, entities, assets, and years.
SHARED CLASSIFICATIONS
Apply consistent classifications
Operational data is mapped to shared UNSPSC classifications that define how activities are categorised and calculated. Using consistent classifications ensures sustainability data is calculated using the same methodologies across organisations and reporting periods.
UNSPSC classification
Every activity record is mapped to a standardised UNSPSC classification, replacing inconsistent supplier codes with a shared taxonomy.
Consistent methodologies
Consistent classifications mean the same calculation methodology applies regardless of which entity, supplier, or system provided the data.
Cross-organisation comparability
Structured data is comparable across organisations, reporting periods, and geographies without manual reconciliation.
DATA GOVERNANCE
Ensure data quality and traceability
Klappir validates incoming data to ensure it meets sustainability reporting requirements. This governance layer ensures sustainability information remains transparent and verifiable.
Validation rules
Detect missing, inconsistent, or incomplete operational records before they affect calculations or reports.
Traceable transactions
Every data point is stored as a structured transaction with a clear operational source, linked to the originating entity and asset.
Audit trails
Maintain a full history of data imports, changes, and calculations. Every figure carries lineage from source to statement.
DOWNSTREAM USES
Structure once. Use everywhere.
Structured data feeds every downstream capability in the platform. Define the structure once and reuse it across all sustainability workflows.

Read how our customers standardise data
Kópavogur municipality manages over 300 assets, schools, pools, vehicles, and facilities, and continuously generates sustainability data across dozens of systems. Without a structure linking each record to the right entity and location, that data can't be consolidated or acted on.
Since 2015, Klappir has brought it all together into one place, with each record linked to the correct organisational identity and available for both asset-level drill-down and municipal-level reporting.
"I envision that the Klappir Sustainability Platform will be a cornerstone in our environmental approach in the foreseeable future."
Encho Plamenov Stoyanov, Project Manager, Environment and Planning, Kópavogur
Common questions about data structuring
Answers to the questions we hear from sustainability teams evaluating how Klappir structures operational data.
UNSPSC (United Nations Standard Products and Services Code) is a global classification system used to categorise products and services. Klappir maps every activity record to UNSPSC codes so that data from different suppliers, systems, and geographies follows a single shared taxonomy. This ensures consistent emission factor application and cross-organisation comparability.
Structured sustainability data enables reliable calculations
Once data is standardised, Klappir can automatically calculate emissions and sustainability indicators using verified methodologies.
