# Import emission activities and map their locations

Use the Unified content management application to import the standard emission activities and add their locations.

1.  Navigate to **All** > **Operational Sustainability Management** > **Operational Sustainability Workspace** > **Content accelerator**.

2.  Select the **Emission factors** tab.

3.  Select the emission factor that you want to activate or update.

4.  Select either **Update** or **Activate**.

5.  Select **Agree** for the disclaimer.

6.  Select the emission activities that you want to import in your system.

7.  Select **Next**.

8.  In the **Map existing location** column, select the location for each activity.

9.  Select **Submit**.
