What gets measured, gets managed
The first stage in emissions reduction is the old adage, ‘What gets measured, gets managed.’ It’s about establishing a baseline.
A baseline you have confidence in, and from there, using it to set meaningful targets for reduction. Key questions are asked early to properly establish what it is included within the baseline:
What should I include in the baseline?
- Set the boundary
How do I work out the emissions associated with the stuff in my baseline?
- Develop an approach
What do I do with it now I have it?
- Monitor, review, rinse and repeat
