Industry reference
The GHG Protocol Corporate Standard defines the emissions calculations the analyst runs, with ISO 14064-1 as the verifiable equivalent; the GRI Standards and ISSB IFRS S2 define the metrics and climate-related targets tracked. Science Based Targets initiative guidance governs target-setting methods.
Assurance drives the data standard: CSRD and California SB 253 require independent assurance of reported figures, so methodologies, estimates and source data must be documented. Financial institutions calculate financed emissions under the PCAF standard; healthcare and public sector bodies most often report Scope 1 and 2 emissions and workforce metrics; technology companies focus on energy, data-centre and supply-chain data.
