Requests for emissions data can come from investors, lenders, customers or regulators, and each has different expectations for reporting scope and data quality. A carbon inventory that answers these requests has to show both the figures and how they were calculated.

This guide sets out five steps for building a carbon inventory from the business records you already have, from confirming what a request requires to checking your figures before submission. It also covers how to estimate emissions when data is missing and how to document your methods for the next reporting cycle.
