The footprint must include all scope 1 and 2 emissions. The PAS also encourages organisations to include their scope 3 emissions in their footprint, particularly if these emissions can be influenced. For example, waste emissions can be reduced by reusing materials. There is some flexibility to the requirements – you can exclude some emissions if they are immaterial to report in relation to the wider footprint.
The period set should either be in line with your financial year, or a period that has recently finished, so there is time to achieve an emission's reduction for year 2. The data collection for the footprint should become embedded in the organisations accounting procedures, then it becomes readily available to report on. The first year of the assessment will become the baseline year that all future emission's reduction are compared against.
The first stage of the process is to produce the carbon footprint.
To achieve the PAS year-on-year, the subject of the PAS must achieve an emission's reduction.
To become carbon-neutral in accordance with PAS2060, the carbon footprint must be offset annually.
Finally, we produce your Qualifying Explanatory Statement (QES).
