Requirements for Carbon Accounting
To provide a clear and unambiguous statement of impact;– Numerical– Recognised methodology– Clear statement of boundaries– Verifiable

Carbon Trust activity
Site and company footprinting– Carbon Trust Standard
Product footprinting– PAS 2050– Carbon Label Company

International protocols and standards exist
![Page 6: Developing a rigorous building and transparent methodology for carbon counting](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062800/56814166550346895dad4468/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
The GHG Protocol provides guidance on defining the ‘boundary’ and inclusion of emissions types
Operational boundary: Emissions Scope
Parent Company
Subsidiary A Subsidiary C
100% 51% 30%
Employee air flights + travel
Outsourced activities
Supply chain
Scope 2: Electricity indirect
Scope 3: Other indirect
Purchased electricity
Waste products
Ship fleet
Gas burner
Gas boiler
Truck fleet Scope 1: Direct
Organisational boundary
Subsidiary B
GHG Protocol Approach

Measurement based on GHG ProtocolAll organisations must have achieved a reduction
– Absolute (tCO2) or
– Relative -2.5% (tCO2/widget)
2 year renewal cycle– Renewal will require
progress since initial certification
65 organisations certifiedCertified organisations can display logo on marketing materials

What makes up a carbon footprint

Walkers re-certification
Nearing 2-year anniversary of original footprint launch
Recertified footprint: shows 7% reduction on 2007
– Mix of supplier & Walkers internal initiatives
Saved £400,000, to reinvest in carbon-saving initiatives
New label appearing in April/May

WRI/WBCSD ISO
Building on existing GHG ProtocolDeveloping guidance/requirements for product carbon footprintingThe Carbon Trust on Steering GroupLikely 2-3 year processCT agreed to feed in results from projects in UK, US and other countries
ISO Committee agreed to develop standard in NovemberPAS2050 only product footprinting standard in reviewAttending meetings e.g. Malaysia
ButLikely 3-5 year processHighly consensus-driven: likely to be very high-level - important for “air cover” but still need product-specific guidance
International Update: Standards
We are closely involved in the ongoing international work

International Update: Projects
US: Coke announced as new partner
US: Tropicana results exclusive in NY Times– Generated 78 follow-on stories
with 3.5 million online page impressions
– PepsiCo committing to footprint further brands
China: Footprinting trials about to begin with ~3 product categories– Sugar– Clothing– Toys– Possibly others to follow
Coordinating with other country initiatives e.g. Germany, Japan, Korea

Requirements for Carbon Accounting
To provide a clear and unambiguous statement of impact;– Numerical– Recognised methodology– Clear statement of boundaries– Verifiable
Allows;– Progress to be assessed– Comparisons to be made– Efforts to be accurately focused– Myths to be uncovered
