General

Five-year forecast (column 2)
- Provide a qualitative and quantitative description of how you forecast your emissions will change over the next five years.
- It is acknowledged that this forecast will be an estimate, but it is expected that companies will:
- forecast the expected direction of change (e.g. whether their emissions will increase, decrease or experience no change overall over the next five years).
- provide a quantitative description of the forecasted change in emissions (e.g. Scope 1 emissions forecasted to decrease by 30 metric tons CO2e/ Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions forecasted to increase by 10%/ Scope 3 emissions forecasted to decrease by 20%).
- provide a brief description of the reasons you forecast this change, or in the unlikely event no change, in emissions over the next five years. For example, this could be due to forecasted changes in output or expected emissions reduction activities.
Please explain (column 3)
- Provide an explanation of why you do not have a target and the timeline to implement one, if applicable.
