GHG Protocol Scope 1 & 2 Inventory Checklist

Boundaries & Base Year

• Has a consolidation approach (equity share, financial control, or operational control) been selected and documented? *
• Are all facilities, entities, and operations within the boundary mapped and inventoried? *
• Has a base year been set with a documented base-year recalculation policy? *
• Enter the reporting period start and end dates.

Scope 1 Direct Emissions

Direct emissions from owned or controlled sources.

• Is stationary combustion fuel use (natural gas, diesel, propane) captured with activity data? *
• Are mobile combustion sources (fleet fuel/mileage) inventoried? *
• Are fugitive emissions from refrigerants and process gases quantified using GWP values? *
• Enter total Scope 1 emissions in metric tonnes CO2e.

Scope 2 Electricity & Energy

• Is purchased electricity, steam, heating, and cooling consumption captured in kWh or equivalent? *
• Are both location-based and market-based Scope 2 figures calculated and reported (dual reporting)? *
• Are contractual instruments (RECs, GOs, PPAs) documented for market-based accounting? *

Emission Factors & Calculation

• Are emission factors sourced from recognized databases (e.g., EPA, DEFRA, IEA) and dated? *
• Are all seven Kyoto gases (CO2, CH4, N2O, HFCs, PFCs, SF6, NF3) considered where relevant? *
• Is the calculation methodology documented and reproducible? *

Quality Management

• Have data gaps and estimation methods been documented? *
• Is an uncertainty assessment performed for material sources?
• Has the inventory undergone internal review or third-party verification? *
