General
- In alignment with the GHG Protocol Scope 2 Guidance, companies are only required to compare their Scope 2 emissions for either their location-based or market-based figure, but are required to be transparent about which figure they use.
- You should only select one option, as your market-based figure may inherently be a combination of location-based and market-based calculations if you have operations in regions where there are contractual instruments, and other operations in regions where there are not contractual instruments.
