Compile a GHG inventory to the GHG Protocol
Practice the sequence you already learned for “Compile a GHG inventory to the GHG Protocol” until the order feels automatic. Practice GHG Protocol Corporate Standard order. Organizational boundary is set before operational scopes; totals are not published until Scope 1 and 2 methods and the base year are set and reported separately.
- Set the organizational boundary (equity share or control).
- Set the operational boundary (which scopes to report).
- Collect Scope 1 activity data.
- Collect Scope 2 activity data.
- Apply the chosen location- or market-based Scope 2 method.
- Apply emission factors and document them.
- Set or restate the base year if a trigger is met.
- Report Scope 1 and Scope 2 separately.
- Do not add a marketing ‘carbon neutral’ claim from an incomplete inventory.
