Definition

The Historical GHG Emission Profile is a consistent historical timeseries of the GHG Emissions of an entity that properly accounts for acquisitions, divestments, mergers and other significant structural changes. Such changes alter an entity's historical emission profile, making meaningful comparisons over time difficult.

Companies may need to track emissions over time in response to a variety of business goals, including:

  • Public reporting
  • Establishing GHG targets
  • Managing GHG Risks and opportunities
  • Addressing the needs of investors and other stakeholders
