Green Building Council of Australia has released a discussion paper to start an important conversation about reporting and accounting for Scope 3 emissions to drive emissions reductions at scale. The discussion paper highlights the challenge of translating asset emissions into corporate accounts, calling for precise measurement to ensure that significant emissions sources in the built environment are addressed. Despite Scope 3 emissions being indirect, they significantly impact the company’s value chain and decision-making. Global commitments like the Paris Agreement emphasise the importance of accurate and consistent reporting for tracking progress, meeting climate goals, assessing investment sustainability, and complying with regulations.

Join us to hear about the discussion paper, share your views and contribute towards a comprehensive guidance document GBCA is producing in partnership with the Property Council of Australia.

In this session, you’ll learn:
 

• how to identify, report and manage emissions throughout the supply chain
• how you can ensure a comprehensive approach to emissions accountability across a range of buildings
• insights from the Clean Energy Finance Corporation (CEFC)
• how project-level analysis can be applied to corporate reporting
• how to review current frameworks and standards, assessing their relevance to corporate reporting.
