Metrics

Metric name	Definition
Total Scope 1	Total direct GHG emissions from categories that are owned or directly controlled by the company.
Total Scope 2	Total indirect GHG emissions from the company's consumption of purchased electricity, steam, heating, and cooling.
Total Scope 3	Total other indirect GHG emissions occurring in the company's value chain, including both upstream and downstream activities.
Categories of Scope 1	Direct GHG emissions of the company across the 6 direct emissions' categories as defined by the GHG Protocol: Stationary Combustion, Mobile Combustion, Process Emissions, Fugitive Emissions, Venting Emissions, Flaring Emissions
Categories of Scope 2	Indirect GHG emissions of the company across the four forms of purchased energy as defined by the GHG Protocol: Electricity, Heat, Steam, Cooling
Categories of Scope 3	Other indirect GHG emissions of the company across the 15 categories defined by the GHG Protocol, including purchased goods and services, capital goods, fuel-related activities, transportation, waste, business travel, and more.
Total Scope 1 Revenue Intensity	Total direct GHG emissions from categories that are owned or directly controlled by the company relative to the company's total revenues in USD for the corresponding fiscal year.
Total Scope 2 Revenue Intensity	Total indirect GHG emissions from the company's consumption of purchased electricity, steam, heating, and cooling relative to the company's total revenues in USD for the corresponding fiscal year.
Total Scope 3 Revenue Intensity	Total other indirect GHG emissions occurring in the company's value chain, including both upstream and downstream activities relative to the company's total revenues in USD for the corresponding fiscal year.
Categories of Scope 1 Revenue Intensity	Direct GHG emissions of the company across the 6 direct emissions' categories as defined by the GHG Protocol: Stationary Combustion, Mobile Combustion, Process Emissions, Fugitive Emissions, Venting Emissions, Flaring Emissions relative to the company's total revenues in USD for the corresponding fiscal year.
Categories of Scope 2 Revenue Intensity	Indirect GHG emissions of the company across the four forms of purchased energy as defined by the GHG Protocol: Electricity, Heat, Steam, Cooling relative to the company's total revenues in USD for the corresponding fiscal year.
Categories of Scope 3 Revenue Intensity	Other indirect GHG emissions of the company across the 15 categories defined by the GHG Protocol, including purchased goods and services, capital goods, fuel-related activities, transportation, waste, business travel, and more relative to the company's total revenues in USD for the corresponding fiscal year.

Unique Data Value Proposition

Tracenable's GHG emissions data product sets the market benchmark for precision, standardization, reliability, and integrity. Learn why our data stands apart:

Uncompromised Standardization

Our team of environmental engineers meticulously maps reported emissions data to GHG Protocol standards, including detailed categorization of all 15 Scope 3 categories and proper classification of Scope 1 and 2 categories. This guarantees uniformity and comparability across our dataset, bridging the gap created by diverse reporting formats.

Precision in Every Figure

Our advanced cross-source data precision matching algorithm ensures that the most accurate data is always delivered. For instance, an exact figure like 1,542,450 tCO2e is prioritized over a rounded figure like 1,500,000 tCO2e, reflecting our dedication to precision and detail.

Unbiased Data Integrity

Our approach is grounded in delivering emissions data exactly as reported by companies, without making inferences or estimates for undisclosed data. This strict adherence to factual reporting ensures the integrity of the data you receive, providing an unaltered and accurate view of corporate emissions.

End-to-End Data Traceability

Every emissions data point is directly traceable to its original source, with exact page references and calculation methodologies documented. This level of detail enables immediate verification of emission figures and supports compliance with regulatory reporting requirements.

Full-Scope Boundary Verification

We tag emission figures that do not cover a company's entire organizational or operational boundaries with an 'Incomplete Boundaries' attribute. This attribute enhances transparency and ensures the comparability of our data by keeping you informed of any potential limitations.
