Definition
The scope of the assessment in terms of the range of GHG effects (and non-GHG effects, if relevant), sources and sinks, and greenhouse gases that are included in the assessment. An entity's GHG Inventory Boundary involves[1]
- identifying emissions associated with its operations
- categorizing them as Direct GHG Emissions and Indirect GHG Emissions, and
- choosing the scope of accounting and reporting for indirect emissions.
Effective GHG Emissions Management helps set operational boundaries that are comprehensive with respect to direct and indirect emissions. This helps a company better manage the full spectrum of GHG Risks and opportunities that exist along its value chain.
