What’s new
Written comments provided on draft Product and Scope 3 Accounting and Reporting Standards
Sixty corporations begin measuring emissions from products and supply chains
GHG Protocol holds five stakeholder workshops on draft standards
First drafts of product and scope 3 standards released
Background
Following the success of the Corporate Standard and Project Protocol, the WRI/WBCSD GHG Protocol is developing two new standards:
- Product Life Cycle Accounting and Reporting Standard
- Scope 3 Accounting and Reporting Standards
To develop the new standards, the GHG Protocol is following the same broad, multi-stakeholder process used to develop our previous standards, with participation from businesses, policymakers, NGOs, academics and other experts and stakeholders from around the world.
The new GHG Protocol standards will provide a standardized method to inventory the emissions associated with individual products across their full life cycles and of corporate value chains, taking into account impacts both upstream and downstream of the company’s operations. By taking a comprehensive approach to GHG measurement and management, businesses and policymakers can focus attention on the greatest opportunities to reduce emissions within the full value chain, leading to more sustainable decisions about the products we buy, sell, and produce.
