GHG Emissions Reduction Targets

target_type

Categorical String

Type of GHG emissions reduction target set by the company (absolute or intensity-based).

Intensity-based Target

year_of_disclosure

Year (YYYY)

Year in which the data point was disclosed.

2023

scope_of_target

Array of Strings

GHG emission scopes (1, 2, and/or 3) included in the reduction target.

[“Scope 1”, “Scope 2”]

method

Categorical String

Approach used to calculate Scope 2 and occasionally Scope 3 GHG emissions, distinguishing between 'Location-Based' (reflecting grid averages), 'Market-Based' (reflecting the specific electricity profile purchased), 'Not Defined', and 'Not Applicable' methods.

Categorical String

More specific classification within an intensity category that further refines the denominator used to scale GHG emissions. Sub-categories provide a detailed grouping based on the type of material, product, or operational activity.

Non-Renewable Energy Sources

intensity_metric

String

Specific denominator that a company reports to measure the intensity of its GHG emissions. It reflects the exact operational or financial measure, such as the amount of energy consumed or revenue generated, and is used to normalize emissions data.

Revenue

Year (YYYY)

Future year by which the company aims to achieve its GHG reduction target.

2030

target_value

Numerical Float

Quantified GHG reduction or performance goal set by the company.

0.25

target_unit

String

Unit of measurement used for the target value.

Percentage (%)

target_unit_direction

Categorical String

Direction of the target compared to the baseline or other reference points (e.g., absolute decrease from baseline, percentage increase from baseline).

Percentage decrease from baseline

achievement_year

Year (YYYY)

Year in which the company's progress towards the GHG target is evaluated.

2022

achievement_value

Numerical Float

Quantified progress made towards the GHG target as of the achievement year.

17%

achievement_unit

String

Unit of measurement used for the achievement value.

Percentage (%)

achievement_unit_direction

Categorical String

Direction of progress compared to the baseline or other reference points (e.g., absolute emissions in achievement year, percentage decrease from baseline).

Percentage decrease from baseline

Boolean (True or Not Specified)

Indicates whether the reported data covers only a limited portion of the company's operational or organizational boundaries.

Not Specified
