Emission Reduction
From Open Risk Manual
Definition
Emission Reduction. Emissions reduction: decrease in Scope 1, 2, 3 or total GHG emissions at the end of the reporting period, relative to baseline emissions; Emission reductions may result from, among others, energy efficiency, electrification, suppliers' decarbonisation, electricity mix decarbonisation, sustainable products development or changes in reporting boundaries or activities (e.g. outsourcing, reduced capacities.), provided they are achieved within the undertaking's own operation and value chain; removals and avoided emissions are not counted as emission reductions.
