Today, I thought I would see how companies are reporting on carbon, by reviewing the very best Carbon Disclosure Category. The Awards suggestions ask us to consider: Which statement gives the best disclosure of the company’s carbon emissions, the implications for climate change, and the mitigation measures taken? Check for plan, quantified data, focuses on. You can find just 10 entries these times in this category, three from the U.S., two from Brazil and the UK, and one each from Holland, Finland, and Austria. You might think it would be simple to record on Carbon Emissions quite. After all, it’s one of the very most measurable and trackable areas of sustainability performance. EN16: Total direct and indirect greenhouse gas emissions by weight.

EN18: Initiatives to lessen greenhouse gas emissions and reductions achieved. Calculation of carbon emissions often uses the framework of the Greenhouse Gas Protocol, which defines three scopes. Scope 1: All immediate GHG emissions from resources that are owned or managed by the confirming entity. Scope 2: Indirect GHG emissions from usage of purchased electricity, heat, or steam. What would I expect the best carbon disclosure to add? Overall absolute emissions – the range (Scope 1, Scope 2 and Scope 3) and their sources. The scope of the reporting – covering all procedure or a selection just.

Performance versus previous years and performance versus focuses on with explanations. The way carbon reductions have been achieved. How employees have been engaged in the carbon emission reduction efforts. How external stakeholders (customers/suppliers) have been engaged in carbon emission reduction efforts. Future plans/targets to lessen the emissions burden and the true way these will be achieved. What did I find? Overall absolute emissions – the range (Scope 1, Scope 2 and Scope 3) and their resources.

Amcor provides information on carbon strength (per device of production) by Scope over 6 years for Amcor “legacy” sites, representing Amcor to its Alcan Product packaging acquisition prior. Amcor also discloses the amount of total absolute carbon emissions. Banco Bradesco does not include information on carbon emissions in their 61-page report, but identifies the website, which is all in a foreign language – Portuguese?

English option. The emissions amount – in toneladas – are mentioned within the GRI Index. Bank of America details Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions in 2010 2010 and prior to 2009, by source, including details of Renewable Energy Credits. British Sky Broadcasting provides details data for Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions since 2008 baseline monitoring.

Data is shown for absolute emissions and per GBP million turnover. Royal Dutch Shell provides a decade of carbon emission data in a focused data table independent from the statement narrative. The narrative areas that higher emissions were due to higher creation, especially in Nigeria because of a better security situation. Shell makes a difference in the survey narrative between Scope 1 and 2 emissions (also splits emissions between creation functions and flaring). It is not clear whether Scope 3 emissions are included.

Tieto explains the resources of carbon emissions, generated through data center consumption plus employee work, and travel mainly. Between 2009 and 2010, Tieto has increased the scope of its reporting from 7 offices in Sweden and Finland to 58 offices – a substantial achievement- but rendering an absolute comparison with prior year data not relevant.

As you might imagine, total CO2 emissions increased significantly with increased business activity. Vodafone reports absolute emissions in the printed report, supplemented by significant detail on the Vodafone Sustainability Report website. Wyndham Worldwide Corporation reports total Scope 1 and Scope 2-carbon emissions and sources. The scope of the reporting – covering all procedures or a selection just. Amcor’s reporting covers all manufacturing sites.

Banco Bradesco’s survey covers all the Bank’s procedures. Banco Santander’s report covers all the Bank’s operations. Bank of America’s survey covers the whole activities of the Bank. British Sky Broadcasting addresses all sites except joint projects and it is annualized data based on 11 months’ functions. Royal Dutch Shell reviews on all procedures. Tieto’s carbon reporting covers between 73% and 90% of employees (18,000 employees).

Vodafone’s report includes all operations apart from joint ventures. Wyndham Worldwide Corporation reports on all facilities over that your company has immediate control. Performance versus prior years and performance versus targets with explanations. Amcor reports a 2.4% carbon emission decrease in intensity (per device of production) over 5 years for Scope 1 and 2 but didn’t meet the 10% 5-season target.
