Emissions & Energy
Account for the greenhouse gases the organization causes directly and through what it buys and sells, and reduce them on a plan rather than a promise.
- Carbon Accounting
- Energy Management
- Decarbonization
In scope
- Greenhouse gas inventory across direct and indirect scopes
- Energy consumption tracking and efficiency
- Renewable sourcing and offsets
- Decarbonization roadmap and targets
Out of scope
- Energy procurement contracts themselves (see BC-620)

- BC-820.20.10Greenhouse Gas InventoryMeasure or estimate emissions by source and scope with a documented method, so this year's number can be compared with last year's.
- BC-820.20.20Energy Consumption TrackingMeter and attribute energy use by site, process and asset so reductions can be targeted where the consumption actually is.
- BC-820.20.30Energy Efficiency ProgramsIdentify, fund and verify projects that use less energy for the same output, from lighting to process heat.
- BC-820.20.40Decarbonization PlanningSet emissions targets with dates, map the projects that reach them and track the gap between the plan and the trend.
