Base year and tracking over time (chapter 9) – GHG Protocol Corporate Value Chain (Scope 3) Standard

GHG Protocol Corporate Value Chain (Scope 3) Standard 9.3-RECALC: 9.3 Recalculate base year emissions on significant changes

Base year emissions must be recalculated, for increases and decreases alike, when significant changes occur in company structure (mergers, acquisitions, divestments, outsourcing, insourcing) or inventory methodology (calculation methods, better data accuracy, significant errors, a change to which categories or activities are covered); cumulative small changes count. Re-establishing a more recent base year is an alternative for major structural change; organic growth and closures do not trigger recalculation.
