Emissions inventory

The first step is building a complete inventory of the greenhouse gas emissions generated by the company's activity.

Content reviewed on

Scope 1: direct emissions

Emissions from sources owned or controlled by the organization: on-site combustion, company fleet, industrial processes.

Scope 2: indirect energy emissions

Emissions associated with the electricity, heat, or steam the organization purchases and consumes.

Scope 3: other indirect emissions

Value-chain emissions: business travel, freight transport, waste, or raw materials.

What an auditor usually asks for

  • Scope 1 emissions inventory documented
  • Scope 2 emissions inventory documented
  • Relevant Scope 3 categories identified
  • Inventory calculation methodology documented

How to cover the inventory in Kimobox

  1. 1Log each scope's emission sources as a version-controlled record in Kimobox.
  2. 2Link each emission source to the process or facility that generates it.
  3. 3Document the calculation methodology used for the inventory.

Every emission source is linked to the process that generates it, not sitting in a standalone spreadsheet.
