This report has been created using the BringAbout application1, created by Decerna Limited. BringAbout provides users with a convenient way to quantify their greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions for their preferred base year and subsequent reporting years, which are then summarized in this report. Emissions are categorized here according to the structure described in the Greenhouse Gas Protocol’s Corporate Standard2 and Corporate Value Chain (Scope 3) Standard3. Each emissions source has its own set of methodologies available for calculation, and the accuracy of the calculated emissions will vary depending on the specific methodology selected. These methodologies, broadly speaking, fall into either spend-based or activity-based approaches.
The spend-based approach, which is only an option for certain categories in Scope 3, takes the amount spent on a particular activity and calculates an estimated emissions figure through the use of an ‘emissions factor’ for that specific activity. Emissions factors of this type are prepared by a number of different organisations, however for BringAbout, these have been taken from the UK Government, who give the level of emissions per £ spent for each of the 110 Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) codes. These figures are only updated every few years, however, meaning that adjustments are made within BringAbout to allow for annual inflation to bring the factors up to date.
Activity-based approaches can use ‘average data’, which tends to be a statistical measure of emissions for a particular activity in the geographic area in which the activity took place. The UK government produces a comprehensive set of ‘Conversion Factors’, covering UK average emissions for a large range of activities including energy use, transportation and the use of various materials.
The other form of activity-based calculation uses ‘supplier-specific’ emissions factors, which is where a supplier of a particular product or service reports its own emissions, either across all their outputs each year or specific to individual products or services. This can be used to estimate the emissions caused by those items for the company that has consumed them.
