3 GUARANTEEING RELIABILITY OF YOUR IMPACT ANALYSIS WITH OUR ROBUST AND TESTED METHODOLOGY Our sustained R&D since 2012 while conducting over 200 footprint studies has allowed us to constantly improve and fine-tune our methodologies for impact assessment. // LOCAL FOOTPRINT LOCAL FOOTPRINT : AN UNRIVALED LEVEL OF DETAIL, IN 380 SECTORS To accurately simulate the economic behavior of a supplier or a company wherever data collection is impossible, a model s granularity is of prime importance. LOCAL FOOTPRINT is a hybrid model offering unprecedented detailed analysis of 380 sectors, it is the most detailed available on the market to date (versus 35 or 62 for other existing models). Our model draws on dozens of up-to-date national and international statistical data (ex : the Sirene database of the French directory of companies and establishments, CLAP, ESANE, the French customs DataDouane database, Eurostat, BEA, Agreste ). LOCAL FOOTPRINT : ASSESS YOUR ORGANIZATION S SOCIO-ECONOMIC IMPACT ON ANY GEOGRAPHICAL SCALE Thanks to a powerful algorithm developed by UTOPIES drawing on the latest research in spatial economics, our LOCAL FOOTPRINT model can simulate the theoretical behavior of cities, labor pools, states, provinces, countries, the world. The systematic inclusion of each territory s specificities increases the reliability of our model s results and steeply reduces our error margin (<5% according to a recent study carried out in the United States). LOCAL FOOTPRINT : SO MUCH MORE THAN JUST ANOTHER ECONOMETRIC TOOL LOCAL FOOTPRINT is also a methodology designed from dozens of internal manual data aggregation processes and inevitable recoding (of procurement data in particular) to : neutralize the headquarter effect (whereby a facility s expenses are inaccurately attributed to it s parent company s headquarters) and reterritorialize production sites reallocate the majority of procurement from commerce to productive sectors, taking into account each sectors importations. Our internal quality processes are inspired by the highest standards (versioning, coherence control, data validation processes, etc.). Our methodologies are auditable and have been audited by external consultants.
