Climate Change Responses - C6 Emissions Data

Follow

C6.1 What were your organization's gross global Scope 1 emissions in metric tons CO2e?

C6.3 What were your organization's gross global Scope 2 emissions in metric tons CO2e?

Follow the directions for C5.2, adjusting the report dates to reflect those of the reporting year and past years if applicable.

6.4 Are there any sources (e.g. facilities, specific GHGs, activities, geographies, etc.) of Scope 1, Scope 2 or Scope 3 emissions that are within your selected reporting boundary which are not included in your disclosure?

C6.4a Provide details of the sources of Scope 1, Scope 2 or Scope 3 emissions that are within your selected reporting boundary which are not included in your disclosure.

To view trackers that are not included in a report generated in Scope 5, ensure “Include table of intentionally excluded trackers” is selected in the Reporting Period section of the report configuration. 

Click on ‘Show Intentionally Excluded Trackers’ and ‘Show Excluded Primary Trackers’.

C6.5 Account for your organization's gross global Scope 3 emissions, disclosing and explaining any exclusions.

C6.5a Disclose or restate your Scope 3 emissions data for previous years. 

Follow the directions for C5.2, adjusting the report dates to reflect those of the reporting year and past years if applicable.

C6.7a Provide the emissions from biologically sequestered carbon relevant to your organization in metric tons CO2.

Follow the directions for C5.2, except:

1. In step 5, adjust the Start Date and End Date to reflect the current reporting year.

2. In step 6, replace the metric  with Biogenic Emissions. In the dropdown select immediately to the right, select tonne

3. Use the Biogenic Emissions (tonnes) number at the bottom of the table in the Totals row as your response to 'emissions from biogenic carbon'.

C6.10 Describe your gross global combined Scope 1 and 2 emissions for the reporting year in metric tons CO2e per unit currency total revenue and provide any additional intensity metrics that are appropriate to your business operations.

This question asks for normalized results. To use Scope 5 to answer this question, any intensity trackers - such as Total Revenue (as the question asks for), Employee Count, or Facility Area - will need to be configured. View this article, Notes on Setting Up Trackers, or contact us for assistance.

1. From the top level of the Node Navigator, select Periodic Reports.

2. Click Add a New Report.

3. Expand the tracker selection pane. Under the GHG Scopes filter, select Scope 1 and Scope 2:

4. Under Reporting Period, select the current reporting year for End Year and the year prior for Start Year.

5. Under Data Columns, you can choose to report Location-Based, Market-Based or Market-Indicative Scope 2 emissions. Your choice will define the answer to column 5 of this question.

6. Then select CO2e Emissions for the data metric and tonne as the units.

7. Now select the intensity trackers you would like to include. Scroll down to expand the Normalizing Trackers pane (refer to this article for step-by-step advice on normalizing by tracker). Given that for most intensity trackers, activity will be the desired metric, apply the appropriate Activity Group filter(s).

8. Once the normalizing trackers are selected, scroll up to choose the appropriate Intensity Denominator metric and units in the Data Columns pane. Whether the metric is revenues, number of employees, facility area or any other intensity metric that you have been tracking, Activity will likely be the choice for the Intensity Denominator. For details on charting or reporting Activity, refer to this article or contact us for help.

9. Select Tracking Node or Branch Node as the Secondary Grouping (choose a grouping that makes sense based on where intensity data is tracked). Note that Scope cannot be the Primary Grouping or Secondary Grouping for intensity charts that are normalized to metrics without a greenhouse gas scope (square feet, currency, etc). Primary or Secondary Grouping can be any level of the hierarchy or -none-.

10. Click Generate Report.

11. At the bottom of the periodic report, find the Totals for All Records box:

12. Column 1: Intensity figure - Enter the value under the most recent reporting year (the column on the far right) into the Intensity figure column in the table in C6.10.

13. Column 2: Metric numerator (Gross global combined Scope 1 and 2 emissions, metric tons CO2e): Sum answers from questions 6.1 and 6.3. 

14. Column 6: % Change From Previous Year - Enter the percentage listed in the column for the current reporting year (% change from previous year). In the example above, the change is 4.71%.

15. Column 7: Direction of Change - Reference the same percent change. Increases will be marked in red and preceded by a plus sign. Decreases will be marked in green and preceded by a minus sign.

16. Column 4: Metric Denominator: Unit Total - Run a distribution report for the reporting year using your selected intensity tracker(s) as primary trackers. For example, if you normalize by area for your intensity reporting above, run a distribution report to obtain the total area of your organization during the reporting year.Screen_Shot_2021-03-16_at_7.12.48_PM.png
