CDP Climate Change 2022 Reporting Guidance

(C7.1) Does your organization break down its Scope 1 emissions by greenhouse gas type?

Change from last year

No change

Rationale

For many sectors and business activities, greenhouse gases other than carbon dioxide are significant and relevant. Since these gases are often only reported in CO₂-equivalents (CO₂e), their contribution to overall emissions is sometimes masked. CDP therefore requests companies to break down their gross Scope 1 emissions by GHG type.

Response options

Select one of the following options:

• Yes
• No
• Don’t know

Requested content

General

• Select “Yes” if your organization’s gross Scope 1 emissions inventory contains greenhouse gases other than carbon dioxide; for example, any of the other five greenhouse gases covered by the Kyoto Protocol (methane, nitrous oxide, hydrofluorocarbons, perfluorocarbons, and sulfur hexafluoride).
