Business value

Today organizations that are beginning to calculate their scope 3 emissions will find the need to account for scope 3 category 12 emissions, emissions due to end-of-life activities. This is critical to account for emissions due to the decomposition of products over time in landfills or emissions due to processes such as recycling. This is significant in consumer goods and retail industries as organizations are shifting accounting from cradle to gate to cradle to grave accounting processes. Enablement of this activity data, calculation, and reporting will provide organizations the ability to use an out-of-the-box standard or customize it to existing practices.

Feature details

This feature includes data model enhancements, ingestion of activity data, out-of-the-box calculations, and reporting on scope 3 category 12: End-of-life treatment of sold products, as described in the Greenhouse Gas Protocol (GHG Protocol). These emissions are based on the disposal method and material of the products created.
