What percentage of total greenhouse gas emissions reduction has been achieved (relative to the emissions of the base year)?
CSRD
Steps for Calculation:
Identify Base Year Emissions:
Determine the GHG emissions for your base year (the starting point from which reductions are measured). This should be in CO2 equivalents (CO2e) and typically comes from your company's historical emissions data.
Identify Current Emissions:
Determine your current GHG emissions for the most recent year available. These should also be in CO2 equivalents (CO2e).
Calculate the Reduction in Emissions:
Subtract the current emissions from the base year emissions to calculate the total reduction in emissions.
Formula:
Emissions Reduction
=
Base Year Emissions
−
Current Emissions
Emissions Reduction=Base Year Emissions−Current Emissions
Calculate the Percentage Reduction:
To calculate the percentage reduction in emissions, divide the emissions reduction by the base year emissions, then multiply by 100.
