Prepare for new Scope 2 emissions reporting requirements with this upcoming free webinar

On October 13, 2015 at 9am PDT, Anthesis Group and World Resources Institute are partnering to bring you an informative free webinar on the new Scope 2 emissions reporting protocol from WRI’s Greenhouse Gas Protocol Team.

Here are the details:

The webinar will review the details adopted in the new WRI GHGP scope 2 guidance which requires a dual approach for reporting scope 2 GHG emissions and creates new accounting challenges and opportunities for reporting companies.

Date: Tuesday, October 13th 2015

Time: 9am PDT/ 12pm EDT

Link to registration page:      https://attendee.gotowebinar.com/register/8709321033009947905

Anthesis & WRI will be offering a detailed presentation on the accounting principles set out in the new guidance, a step-by-step walk through of worked examples to illustrate the dual approach in practice, a discussion on how to collect and manage new sets of emissions factors, and a sure to be lively Q&A.  Refer to our previous posts on this subject to get up to speed on these changes and learn more.

Both teams are top notch, and the subtleties of these reporting protocols are important for corporate sustainability folks to understand.

Addendum: For those who aren’t up on the definitions of scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions, here’s what the GHG protocol site says:

The GHG Protocol defines direct and indirect emissions as follows:
Direct GHG emissions are emissions from sources that are owned or controlled by the reporting entity.
Indirect GHG emissions are emissions that are a consequence of the activities of the reporting entity, but occur at sources owned or controlled by another entity.

The GHG Protocol further categorizes these direct and indirect emissions into three broad scopes:

Scope 1: All direct GHG emissions.
Scope 2: Indirect GHG emissions from consumption of purchased electricity, heat or steam.
Scope 3: Other indirect emissions, such as the extraction and production of purchased materials and fuels, transport-related activities in vehicles not owned or controlled by the reporting entity, electricity-related activities (e.g. T&D losses) not covered in Scope 2, outsourced activities, waste disposal, etc.
