The GHG Protocol Global Adoption Out of the 335 Global FT500 companies studied, 63% aligned with the GHG Protocol (The Corporate Climate Communications Report 2007) World Resources Institute 9

Corporate Climate Strategy Key Elements Business Context and Goals Monitoring and Reporting Data Analysis & Interpretation Target-setting Emissions Reductions Measures Reduce energy intensity Reduce emissions intensity Tracking and Assessing Performance Emissions Assets Portfolio Emissions Liability Portfolio World Resources Institute 10

Carbon Footprint Development: Stages secure management support establish a team & prepare budget define inventory boundary determine sources of emissions select base year design efficient data management system obtain appropriate data, ensure data quality apply calculation tools guard against calculation errors identify emission reduction opportunities decide on target type & level implement emission reduction activities publicly report complete inventory information World Resources Institute 11

Corporate Accounting Standard Standards Accounting Principles Organizational Boundaries Operational Boundaries Historic Datum Reporting GHG emissions Guidance Business goals and inventory design Accounting for GHG reductions Identifying GHG sources Managing inventory quality Verification of GHG emissions Target Setting Calculation tools Web-based, userfriendly, step-by-step guidance Build on IPCC methodologies & industry best practice Cross sector, e.g. mobile and stationary combustion Sector specific e.g. CSI Protocol www.ghgprotocol.org World Resources Institute 12

Why Measure a Carbon Footprint? Achieve corporate carbon management goals Identify opportunities to reduce energy or process costs Identify opportunities to enhance competitive advantage Participate in GHG markets Provide information to stakeholders Participate in GHG reporting programs 18 June 2008 13 World Resources Institute 13

Planning a Corporate Carbon Footprint Questions that need to be considered include: What business unites/facilities will be included in the inventory (organizational boundary)? What GHG sources and activities will be included (operational boundary)? What base year will selected? World Resources Institute 14

Relevance to ICT Sector Provide guidelines for supply chain and product footprinting How do you identify the most relevant/material activities? How far back in the supply chain should you go? Which of your suppliers total emissions are associated with your company? When should you use a particular method or level of accuracy? Working in collaboration with ICT companies and initiatives to address ICT issues and challenges ICT-specific guidelines expected to follow general standard World Resources Institute 21
