What does 2.28-2.31 require?

Presentation rules for the carbon figures: the headline total should be backed, where possible, by a segmental split showing which activities generate the emissions; electricity emissions should be worked out with the grid average conversion factors published by DESNZ; and any lower figure claimed on the strength of renewable tariffs or offsets should appear only as a reduction that takes the gross number down to a net one, never inside the required gross figure itself, ideally with a gross to net reconciliation set against the relevant targets. Every figure should rest on the carbon accounting standards and the cross-public-sector policies in this guidance plus any statutory or regulatory requirement, and a fuller organisation-specific accounting policy may live on the website and be cited from the report.

Other controls in Chapter 2: greenhouse gas emissions, energy, carbon offsets, Scope 3 and value chain, renewable, sequestered and embodied carbon (paragraphs 2.1 to 2.88) – UK HM Treasury Sustainability Reporting Guidance 2026-27 (FReM)

2.12-2.16 Set the carbon accounting boundary to match the financial reporting boundary, choose the equity share or control approach per the GHG Protocol with judgement for joint ventures, associates and leases, and apply the chosen allocation consistently across the group with explanations
2.17-2.19 Where disclosures refer to the GHG Protocol scopes and categories, explain the three scopes and state which emission categories are included
2.20-2.24 Minimum emissions disclosure aligned with the TCFD metrics and targets recommendation: Scope 1, Scope 2 and, if appropriate, Scope 3 emissions and related risks, with set information where material emissions fall outside the GGC measurement and where carbon offsets are used
2.25-2.27 Financial information on emissions: report gross expenditure directly attributable to energy consumption and to accredited offset purchases, matched to the reported emissions, with breakdowns by type and material emissions-reduction spend where useful
2.32-2.37 Energy accounting: report energy consumption and expenditure alongside emissions on a gross basis in kWh, state renewable and on-site generated energy separately rather than netting it off, follow the carbon accounting boundaries, and attach an explanatory note to any estimates
2.38-2.41-OFF Carbon offsets mandatory minimum: where credits are purchased, held or retired, disclose the volume in tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent, whether they are reductions or removals, whether removals are nature-based or technology-based, and the integrity of the credits, and buy only high-integrity credits
2.42-2.45 Baselines and double counting: set a baseline for progress measurement, reconcile and explain any re-baselining, and keep Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions separately distinguishable for consolidation
2.46-2.48 Overseas operations and other Scope 1 and 2 emissions outside the GGC framework: where material to primary users, disclose them on a comply-or-explain basis even though they do not count towards the domestic net zero target
