Scope 2 Guidance cover.PNGThe Scope 2 Guidance standardizes how corporations measure and report emissions from purchased or acquired electricity, steam, heat, and cooling, including new requirements on accounting for emissions from energy contracts and instruments (such as renewable energy certificates) in greenhouse gas inventories.
