(C11.1b) Complete the following table for each of the emissions trading schemes you are regulated by.
Question dependencies
This question only appears if you select an emissions trading option in response to C11.1a.
Change from last year
Minor change
Rationale
As the number of jurisdictions with carbon pricing policies has doubled over the last decade, users of CDP data are interested in understanding how companies are affected by these schemes. This question provides investors and data users with a sense of the regulatory environments in which companies operate and the potential for future regulation which may impact a company's operations.

Requested content
General
- Although some emission trading schemes may apply solely to the operators of facilities, the financial position of facility owners is also affected indirectly by the operation of the scheme. This question therefore applies to both owners and operators of facilities covered by trading schemes.
- Even if your company does not wholly own facilities, please give the total number of emissions and allowances.
System name (column 1)
- This column is driven by the emission trading schemes selected in C11.1a. You should enter information for all applicable schemes.
% of Scope 1 emissions covered by the ETS (column 2)
- This percentage should be calculated based on your gross global Scope 1 emissions over the monitoring period of the emissions trading scheme as specified in columns 4 and 5.
% of Scope 2 emissions covered by the ETS (column 3)
- This percentage should be calculated based on your gross global Scope 2 emissions over the monitoring period of the emissions trading scheme as specified in columns 4 and 5.
- Note that in this question you should only report Scope 2 emissions for which you are directly regulated, i.e. Scope 2 emissions for which you receive allowances directly within an emissions trading scheme. If you do not have direct compliance obligations for Scope 2 emissions, enter zero here.
Period start date and end date (columns 4 and 5)
- The period start date and end date refer to the annual compliance cycle of the emission trading schemes, and not the overall phase of the scheme. For example, the current European Union ETS third phase ran from 2013 to 2020, however the monitoring period of the annual compliance cycle ran from 1st January to 31st December.
- CDP recognizes that emissions trading systems verification deadlines don’t always align with the reporting year disclosed in C0.2. However, please note that the period start date and end dates reported should overlap with the reporting year. If you are using the Export/Import functionality, please check that the imported date is correct.
Verified Scope 1 emissions in metric tons CO2e (column 8)
- Companies participating in systems with verification deadlines at a later date than the CDP disclosure period, such as the California Cap and Trade (CaT), should submit estimates to the best of their knowledge. CDP does not wish to penalize companies for something out of their control.
- You can use the further information field at the end of the questionnaire to correct any submissions from past years that were estimated incorrectly. If doing so reference the question number C11.1b.
Verified Scope 2 emissions in metric tons CO2e (column 9)
- If you do not have direct compliance obligations for Scope 2 emissions (i.e. you have entered 0 in column 3), also enter 0 in this column.
Details of ownership (column 10)
- Select the option that best describes your ownership arrangements for the facilities subject to the scheme identified.
- If you select “Other, please specify,” provide a label for the Details of ownership.
Comment (column 11) (optional)
- If you have selected “Other ETS, please specify” in C11.1a then please provide the full name of the emission trading scheme in this column.
