Getting to measure
Measurement and
reporting are a vital part of a
company’s overall carbon
strategy
Carbon Footprint – The First Step
Accounting of the exclusive amount of Green House
Gases (GHG) emitted on account of human as
well as organizational activities and / or
accumulated over the full life cycle of a product or
• Carbon dioxide (CO2);
• Methane (CH4)
• Nitrous Oxide (N2O)
• Hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs);
• Perfluorocarbons (PFCs);
• Sulphur hexafluoride (SF6).
Measuring the
footprint is
precursor to
determining the
plausible
mitigation steps
service, in a specified boundary and over a
limited time period
A few steps towards carbon efficiency:
• Reducing CO2 emissions by improving efficiency
• Purchase of renewable energy
• Moving towards carbon neutrality
• Working with suppliers to reduce carbon footprint
• Developing low Carbon products and services
• Engaging with key stakeholders and create awareness

Action on Ground
In the energy industry
Exxon mobil and BP are
the leading figures in
climate change and are
making huge
investments in working
towards mitigation steps
All the major players in
the manufacturing sector
are increasingly directing
their efforts towards
attaining a low carbon
economy
Dupont has reduced its
CO2 emissions by 65%
from the 1990 levels
saving hundreds of
millions of dollars in the
process

Governing principles of GHG accounting
1
Relevance
Ensure the GHG inventory appropriately reflects the GHG emissions of the company and
serves the decision-making needs of users – both internal and external to the company.
Transparency
2
Address all relevant issues in a factual and coherent manner, based on a clear audit trail.
Disclose any relevant assumptions and make appropriate references to the accounting and
calculation methodologies and data sources used.
Accuracy
3
Account for and report on all GHG emission sources and activities within the chosen inventory
boundary. Disclose and justify any specific exclusions.
Consistency
4
Use consistent methodologies to allow for meaningful comparisons of emissions over time.
Transparently document any changes to the data, inventory boundary, methods, or any other
relevant factors in the time series.
Completeness
5
Ensure that the quantification of GHG emissions is systematically neither over nor under
actual emissions, as far as can be judged, and that uncertainties are reduced as far as
practicable. Achieve sufficient accuracy to enable users to make decisions with reasonable
assurance as to the integrity of the reported information.

effective way to measure
footprint, reduce emissions and
report on performance

STEP1: Strategy
“It is extremely important to consider the
overall objectives and drivers for a
successful Carbon strategy”
1
The overall objective of Carbon
Footprint should answer
• What is the baseline and what
kind of targets need to be set?
4
2
• What is the scope of the footprint?
• What is the expectations from the
external stakeholders form
reporting?
3
• What kind of systems are in place/
needed to track progress against
targets?

18
STEP1: Strategy
3 levels of reporting…
III
II
I.
Product/ Service
Level
Company Level
I
Specific reductions/
efficiency projects
The scope broadens with
each level of reporting
© 2011 KPMG, an Indian Partnership and a member firm of the KPMG network of independent member firms affiliated
with KPMG International Cooperative (“KPMG International”), a Swiss entity. All rights reserved.
Specific reductions/ efficiency projects- Typically this
covers regulated projects (Projects that qualify for
compliance credits), Voluntary Projects (projects aimed
at delivering tradable carbon credits to the voluntary
markets) or projects demonstrating action towards climate
change. The projects should deliver long term sustainable
reductions that would not occur in business as usual
scenario.
II.
Company level accounting- This involves accounting for
all emissions generated form all company operations.
There are specific standards and guidelines such as the
WBCSD/ WRIGHG Protocol and ISO 14064 for GHG
accounting. It is essential to use a recognized
methodology to ensure credibility.
III.
Product/ service level accounting- Measuring emissions
from the product/ service perspective requires
information from the entire life cycle (cradle to grave). The
challenge in this type of accounting lies in assessing the
ease in collecting the data from all stakeholders
throughout the life cycle of the product
19
STEP 2: Defining boundary
The scope and boundary of accounting
should be pre decided to freeze on…
1
• Whether the company should report only
on its own operations or include holding
company’s operations as well (control or
equity based approach)
4
2
• Whether it should report on upstream
and downstream operations as well.
• Whether to report on direct/ indirect
emissions or both.
3

with KPMG International Cooperative (“KPMG International”), a Swiss entity. All rights reserved.
• Whether to report on third party
emissions related to the company’s
operations such as employee
commuting, business travels etc.
20
STEP 2: Defining boundary
Process Emissions:
Chemical/physical
changes in the
materials during the
manufacturing
process
Scope 1
Stationary Emissions:
Burning fuels in
stationary machines,
equipment, boilers,
kilns/furnaces etc.
(Including Captive Power
Generation
Scope 2
Use of purchased electricity from the grid or use of purchased energy
(Steam)
Scope 3
Other indirect emissions such as Inbound Logistics, Outbound
Logistics, Production of purchased materials, employee business
travel, employee commute, disposal of waste etc.

Mobile
Emissions:
Combustion of
fuels in the mobile
equipment/vehicles
owned by the
company.

STEP 3: Data Collection
1
Developing internal procedures and
guidance for data collection is essential to
ensure correctness and reliability of data
The 3 necessities…
4
2
• Establish data requirements- data
collection formats, frequency of data
collection, materiality, accuracy and
treatment of anomalies.
• Establish quality control/ monitoring
procedures to reduce reporting risk.

The report may touch upon:
• The baseline and targets and
assumptions made when deciding the
baseline.

• The scope of report, methodology used
and assumptions made for calculations
4
2
• An understanding of risks and
opportunities for the business from
Climate change.
• A description of the governance
structure and data collections
systems, controls and KPI’s in place.
3
• Performance data with respect to GHG
emissions

25
STEP 4: Reporting – 11 point checklist
1. Assurance – are you realising maximum value from assurance or is it
just a tick-box exercise? Independent challenge of your reporting
processes can help identify improvements in efficiency and data
integrity
2. Data management – have you set up practical and reliable
procedures to collect data on an ongoing basis?
3. Double-counting – will any of your partners be accounting for the
same emissions?
4. Forecasting – does your system allow you to forecast performance
and report regularly, therefore effectively manage progress against
targets?
5. Impact areas – will your emissions scope allow you to identify your
largest impact areas – where your reduction efforts will be most
effective?
© 2011 KPMG, an Indian Partnership and a member firm of the KPMG network of independent member firms affiliated
with KPMG International Cooperative (“KPMG International”), a Swiss entity. All rights reserved.
26
STEP 4: Reporting
6. Internal engagement – have you communicated with and trained
your international operations around your measurement and reporting
objectives, requirements and the likely benefits?
7. Internal reporting – are you reporting the organisation's carbon
footprint internally? This is equally as important as external reporting
and is often forgotten.
8. Legislation – are you aware of upcoming legislation that requires you
to report on your emissions – for example an emissions trading
scheme?
9. Organisational Boundaries – will your organisational boundaries
enable you to account for the emissions your stakeholders think you
are responsible for?
10. Standards – have you chosen a recognised reporting standard?
11. Transparency – have you disclosed any omissions or assumptions
made in estimated calculations?
