GHG Emissions Calculation in ESG Report
One of the most difficult things to do when calculating your sustainability and providing appropriate reports is understanding and calculating greenhouse gas emissions. Your greenhouse gas emissions are a major part of your sustainability reporting. Getting it wrong can attract unwanted attention from regulatory authorities.
There are a few ways to make sure that you have correct, complete, and usable GHG Emissions calculations:
By using advanced technology, you are able to track your GHG emissions more efficiently.
Ensure that whoever is helping you prepare your GHG reports knows what they’re talking about. GHG reports have changed drastically in the last decade and continue to evolve as regulatory and reporting authorities ask for more detailed information.
Ensure that your GHG calculations are done in Scope 1, 2, and 3. This will provide you with the most comprehensive GHG calculations that you can give to authorities.
One area where your carbon footprint’s reporting is vital is in consumer and investor relations. The public wants to know what you’re doing to reduce your carbon footprint, and detailed, factual analyses will help them feel more comfortable with your efforts.
Greenhouse gas emissions calculations are at the very heart of ESG. For the public in particular, GHG emissions and reductions provided through detailed reporting are one of the areas they are most likely to judge your organisation on to invest in, purchase from, and support.
