What is this published document about?
This is the UK implementation of an international Technical Report. It supplies more help on how organizations can quantify and report their greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, within selected boundaries, using the principles and processes found in BS EN ISO 14064-1 Guidance at the organizational level for quantification and reporting of greenhouse gas emissions and removals.
Who is this published document for?
Any organization or independent party using BS EN ISO 14064-1 to validate GHG assertions.
Why should you use this published document?
No matter what kind of organization you are, this document will help you develop a method of calculating emissions that is easy to understand, suits your business and enhances transparency and consistency.
Covering scope 1, 2 and 3 type emissions, it uses the principles and process from BS EN ISO 14064-1 to develop best practice on quantification and reporting of GHG for organizations.
It helps to establish operational boundaries by identifying direct emissions and energy indirect emissions to be quantified and reported, as well as any other indirect emissions the organization chooses to quantify and report. For each category of emission, guidance is provided on specific boundaries and methodologies for the quantification of GHG emissions and removals.
It enables an organization to choose a method of calculating emissions specific to their organization (including local authorities) and enhance transparency and consistency of reporting GHG emissions.
