Tools for Managing Sustainability Part 2

The video tutorial explains the concept of a carbon footprint, focusing on CO2 equivalents and the six major greenhouse gases. It outlines the steps to calculate emissions, including setting boundaries and choosing a baseline year. The tutorial discusses control and equity share approaches for emissions responsibility and introduces the WR framework for categorizing emissions into scopes. The video aims to enhance understanding of sustainability performance and emissions management.

What does a carbon footprint primarily measure?

• Six different greenhouse gases

• Only carbon dioxide emissions

• Water usage

• Energy consumption

What is the first step in calculating your emissions?

• Identifying emission sources

• Finding your boundary

• Selecting a baseline year

Which approach considers whether you own the entire organization?

• Boundary approach

• Equity share approach

• Operational control approach

• Financial control approach

What is a baseline year used for in emissions calculation?

• To determine the current year's emissions

• To set a reference point for measuring changes over time

• To calculate future emissions

• To identify emission sources

What does Scope 1 emissions include?

• Electricity purchased

• Emissions from your own operations

• Emissions from your supply chain

• Emissions from employee travel

Which scope includes emissions from purchased electricity?

• Scope 1

• Scope 2

• Scope 3

• Scope 4

What should organizations consider when defining what is material to them?

• All possible emissions globally

• Emissions from unrelated industries

• Only their direct emissions
