Carbon reduction planning
Build the baseline before publishing the reduction
NEUVIOR’s carbon reduction approach begins with a defined reporting boundary, evidenced activity data and a method that can be reviewed before targets or reductions are presented publicly.
Baseline first
A reduction cannot be understood without a starting point.
The reporting entity, period, emission sources and calculation method must be defined before a carbon reduction can be claimed.
Where reliable data is unavailable, the gap should be recorded rather than filled with an estimate presented as fact.
Boundary
Identify the company activities, sites, suppliers and services included.
RequiredPeriod
Choose a reporting period supported by complete and reviewable records.
RequiredMethod
Document calculation factors, assumptions and material exclusions.
RequiredPlanning cycle
Measure, prioritise, act and review.
Carbon planning should focus first on the material activities the company can influence and the evidence needed to judge progress.
Measure
Collect activity data and retain the source record.
01Prioritise
Identify material sources and realistic areas for change.
02Act
Assign an accountable owner and a defined intervention.
03Review
Compare like with like and explain any change in scope or method.
04Publication boundary
Targets and outcomes require different evidence.
A target is future intent. A measured result is a historical claim. Neither should be presented without its status, scope and review date.
Baseline
Publish only when the source data and method can be explained.
Current evidenceTarget
State the future date, scope, assumptions and accountable owner.
Future intentOutcome
Report only after the period closes and the result can be checked.
