Make environmental reporting understandable through clear boundaries, evidence and consistent comparisons.
What This Category Covers
This category is for business sustainability teams, facilities and readers evaluating environmental claims. A useful explanation identifies the activity assessed, the time period and the basis of comparison. A target, a calculated estimate and a measured result should be described as different types of information.
Build a Practical Starting Point
- Define the organisation, activity, reporting period and sources included in the claim.
- Keep the evidence, calculation assumptions and responsibilities for review together.
- Distinguish direct operational changes from supplier information, forecasts or purchased environmental attributes.
Questions to Ask
- Which boundary and reporting period does the claim describe?
- What has been measured and what has been estimated?
- Can another reviewer understand the comparison and its limitations?
