Section Break

Does your organization publicly disclose its greenhouse gas emissions inventory?

Yes

ⓘTo be eligible for a Carbon Integrity Claim, your organization should publicly disclose annually its greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions inventory. This transparency demonstrates accountability and commitment to addressing climate change. The inventory should include data on scope 1, scope 2, and scope 3 emissions, and be disclosed in an annual sustainability report and/or on your company’s website.

Section Break 2

Does your organization obtain third-party assurance of its scope 1 and scope 2 emissions?

Yes

ⓘ Achieving third-party assurance of your scope 1 and scope 2 emissions enhances the credibility of your data and builds trust with stakeholders. Begin by identifying a reputable third-party auditor specialized in GHG emissions verification. Implement robust data collection processes to ensure accurate and consistent reporting, then engage with the auditor to review and verify your emissions inventory.

Section Break 3

Is your organization committed to reaching net zero emissions no later than 2050?

Yes

ⓘ Committing to reach net zero emissions by 2050 is crucial for aligning with global climate goals. VCMI acknowledges that deep, rapid and sustained reductions in GHG emissions are urgently needed to achieve global net-zero by the middle of this century. To be eligible to make a claim, your commitment must reflect this requirement.

Section Break 4

Does your organization have science aligned near-term emissions reductions targets?

Yes Validated target/s by SBTi

Yes Committed to set SBTi validated target/s

ⓘ Science-aligned targets are based on the latest climate science consensus on the safe upper limits for global warming. Specifically, they align with an IPCC model pathway that limits global warming to 1.5°C with no or limited overshoot. To meet these standards, your organization should set near-term emissions reduction targets in line with the Paris Agreement’s goal of limiting global warming to 1.5°C.

Section Break 5

Does your organization dedicate funding for GHG mitigation activities to ensure progress on near-term emissions reduction targets?

Yes

What do we mean by this? Capex, Opex, and/or annual revenue dedicated to GHG mitigation in the reporting year and/or in future years. Find out more on Pg. 23 of the Claims Code of Practice.

ⓘ Dedicating financial resources to GHG mitigation is necessary for achieving emissions targets. It is advisable to allocate a specific budget for activities that align with your near-term reduction goals.

Section Break 6

Does your organization have a governance structure to oversee progress in reaching near-term emissions reduction targets?

Yes

What do we mean by this? Example governance structures and processes include but are not limited to: Board or senior management compensation linked to climate performance indicators; Board members or senior management possess capabilities or expertise on climate-related issues; Regular board-level reviews on progress towards meeting near-term emissions reduction targets.

ⓘEstablishing governance structures ensures oversight of emissions reduction progress. VCMI recommends that companies draw on guidance established by the most up to date Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) framework and the specific provisions of the International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB) International Financial Reporting Standards Foundation S2 Climate-related Disclosures. Many companies may already be communicating the above disclosure requirements as part of their annual reporting, including to CDP.

Section Break 7

Does your organization support the goals of the Paris Agreement?

Yes Our advocacy activities are consistent with the goals of the Paris Agreement and we do state this publicly

Yes Our advocacy activities are consistent with the goals of the Paris Agreement but we do not state this publicly

ⓘ Publicly supporting the Paris Agreement signals commitment to global climate efforts. Consider formalizing this support through your corporate sustainability policy and aligning your strategy accordingly.

Companies can refer to the Global Standard on Responsible Corporate Lobbying and its four categories (i.e., Policy and Commitment, Governance, Action, and Specific Disclosures) as best practice to describe alignment of advocacy activities with the goals of the Paris Agreement.

Section Break 8

Do you purchase carbon credits as part of your broader climate strategy?

Yes

ⓘ Each Carbon Integrity Claim requires the purchase and retirement of high-quality carbon credits proportionate to the company’s remaining emissions, once a company has met or demonstrated progress towards meeting its near-term targets, with those credits only used to accelerate global net-zero.

Section Break 9

What volume of credits do you purchase, in relation to your total annual carbon emissions inventory?

Equal to or more than 10%

Less than 10%

None

ⓘ In order to make a Carbon Integrity Claim, companies must purchase the following volume of credits in relation to the total annual carbon emissions inventory.

Carbon Integrity Silver (≥ 10% and < 50%)
Carbon Integrity Gold (≥ 50% and < 100%)
Carbon Integrity Platinum (≥ 100%)

Section Break 10

When purchasing carbon credits, does your organization consider the Core Carbon Principles defined by ICVCM?

Yes

ⓘ Companies should seek out and use carbon credits of the highest quality, both to underpin the credibility of their claims and to help drive integrity across the market.

Companies shall purchase and retire Core Carbon Principles (CCP)-Approved credits. CCPs that have been published by the ICVCM constitute a basis to assess the quality of carbon credits and, in the absence of the more detailed rules, are a useful framework to guide carbon credit purchases.
