Key features designed for practical use
This isn’t just another generic emissions checklist. The GHG emission sources reference guide is tailored specifically for Australian reporting entities working toward AASB S2 alignment. Here’s what makes it stand out:
The guide covers all Scope 1 and Scope 2 categories, plus all 15 Scope 3 categories from the GHG Protocol. Each emission source listed comes with a straightforward description, including typical data requirements and units of measure. It even identifies which department — such as procurement, operations, HR, or finance — should be involved in data gathering.

Importantly, the guide is built in an editable Excel format. This makes it easy for cross-functional teams to collaborate, customise the sheets, and plan their emissions inventory scoping and data collection activities together.
