An activity falls under Zero Emissions if an organization does not have any relevant work within an activity. For example, they may not have made any investments and therefore have 0 emissions under the Investments activity. It's important to note that Zero Emissions does not necessarily mean there is no data for an activity. If your organization does have emissions for a certain activity but is there is no data for it, this is separately listed as incomplete and prevents your organization from completing its emissions inventory.
