Setting the scope 3 boundary (chapter 6) – GHG Protocol Corporate Value Chain (Scope 3) Standard

GHG Protocol Corporate Value Chain (Scope 3) Standard T5.9-INVEST: Table 5.9 Required accounting for investments (category 15)

For category 15 the standard labels the accounting approach required. Equity investments not already in scope 1 and 2 (because a control approach is used or the investee is not controlled): account for the proportional share of the investee's scope 1 and 2 emissions in the reporting year, with a disclosed and justified threshold below which small holdings may be left out. Debt with known use of proceeds and project finance: account for the proportional share (of total project cost) of relevant projects' scope 1 and 2 emissions each year; an initial sponsor or lender also reports the expected emissions over the whole life of projects it financed that year, separately from scope 3. Projects count as relevant when in GHG-intensive sectors or above a threshold; the investee's scope 3 should be included where relevant.

This control maps to 2 controls across 2 other frameworks. If you already hold one of them, the evidence you collected for it is the starting point here rather than new work.
