Consolidation approach

Choose one approach and apply it to every entity:

Approach Rule Choose when
Operational control 100% of emissions from operations we control operationally Most common. Aligns with where we can act.
Financial control 100% of emissions from operations we control financially Aligns with financial reporting.
Equity share Emissions in proportion to our ownership share Required by some joint-venture arrangements.

Selected approach: TBC Rationale: TBC (log it in the decision log)

Entity and facility register

Maintain the register in inventory/<year>/boundary-register.csv (template: templates/boundary-register.csv). For each entity record:

  • legal name, country and ownership %
  • whether we hold operational and financial control
  • whether it is included, and the inclusion %
  • the reason for any exclusion

Changes during the year

Record acquisitions, disposals, mergers and outsourcing with their effective date. Check each against the base-year recalculation policy.
