GHG Indicator

UNEP Guidelines for Calculating Greenhouse Gas Emissions for Businesses and Non-Commercial Organizations

In responding to the challenges to global climate change, businesses and other entities will increasingly have to account for and report on greenhouse gas emissions, both for internal management purposes and to respond to self-imposed or governmental mandated emission reduction targets.

"The GHG Indicator: UNEP Guidelines for Calculating Greenhouse Gas Emissions for Businesses and Non-Commercial Organizations" can help organizations in estimating and reporting their GHG emissions, and so stimulate action on climate change.

The Guidelines provide a method for converting information on fuel and energy use readily obtainable by companies to estimated GHG emissions. The Guidelines provide a step-by-step approach based on easy to use worksheets. The Indicator can be applied at different levels of a company regardless of size or location, as well as government agencies, NGOs, and other entities interested in estimating their GHG emissions.

The Guidelines were developed with experts in manufacturing companies, accountants, academics, consultants, environmentalists, financial institutions, government agencies and non-governmental organizations.

GHG Indicator Software version aids data entry and calculation, and is fully compatible with the original version of the indicator. Extensive help menus makes the workbook easy to use and present results.
