To make it easier to report GHG emissions across the three scopes, the GHG Protocol created a web-based tool called “Scope 3 Evaluator”, that allowed companies to estimate scope 3 (value chain) emissions and identify focus areas for a relevant and accurate scope 3 inventory. However, as of August 31, 2023, the GHG Protocol discontinued the tool, which had been functioning on decade-old technology.
In episode four of Bringing Clarity to Climate Accounting, host Adrian Smith welcomes Dr Matthew Brander, a Senior Lecturer in Carbon Accounting at University of Edinburgh.
In episode two of Bringing Clarity to Climate Accounting, host Adrian Smith welcomes Ecometrica's Chief of Product, Bertrand Revenaz to discuss why mapping is an essential part of carbon accounting.
First up is Gary Davis, CEO of Ecometrica who has been working in sustainability accounting for nearly two decades and who, along with Richard Tipper MBE, helped create some of the original sustainability standards.
Significant moves are being made towards standardising climate disclosure requirements by the International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB). They are setting out structures for robust sustainability and climate-related reporting so that they are conducted with the same rigour as financial reports. This will also globally consolidate sustainability reporting and eliminate the need to produce multiple reports for private and public regulators.

In the US, climate disclosure has been voluntary (for the majority of the market) for years. It looks like things are about to change with the U.S. SEC proposing a rule towards making climate risk disclosures mandatory.
Increasingly, companies are coming to us to measure their scope 3 emissions. Scope 3 emissions are not straightforward to measure, but only when you include them as well as scope 1 and scope 2 in your carbon footprint, do you get a true measure of your carbon impact.
Big news in the realm of greenhouse gas accounting and reporting, folks: the UNFCCC, within the context of the Kyoto Protocol, has wisely decided to include nitrogen trifluoride (NF3) in the second Kyoto compliance period, which begins this year and ends in either 2017 or 2020. Following suit, the WBCSD/WRI’s GHG Protocol is amending all of its standards (corporate, product and Scope 3) to also cover NF3. Luckily for clients using Ecometrica Sustainability, Ecometrica’s powerful and CDP-accredited greenhouse gas accounting solution, the capacity to measure and report emissions from this new seventh Kyoto gas has already been fully integrated.
