1. Purpose of the file: 

This file is used to collect and centralize data related to SimaPro Proxy calculations for Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) analysis. 
It records annual proxy emission factors and their breakdowns (fossil, biogenic, land use, aircraft) for each SimaPro Proxy key, along with relevant flags and comments.
The data supports environmental reporting and sustainability assessments.
