Corporate Inventory Reporting Requirements

The American Carbon Registry bases its corporate inventory reporting requirements on the WRI/WBCSD GHG Protocol, Corporate Accounting and Reporting Standard (2004) and ISO-14064, Part 1 Standard.
 

American Carbon Registry requires organizations registering an entity-wide inventory to account for and report:

• All GHG emissions from GHG sources owned or controlled by the member (Scope I)
• All indirect emissions from purchased electricity, heat, and steam (Scope II)
• Other indirect GHG emissions are optional and based on specification in the member’s validated GHG Inventory Management Plan (Scope III)

The steps to submit a corporate inventory for Reporting in the Registry are:

1. Member submits corporate inventory for eligibility screening against approved Standards: WRI/WBCSD GHG Protocol, Corporate Accounting and Reporting Standard (2004) and ISO-14064 Part 1. and pays the eligibility screening fee
   
2. If corporate inventory passes eligibility screening, it is ready for verification from an American Carbon Registry approved verifier.
3. Once verified, the Registry will report the corporate inventory in the member’s corporate account. Please note that corporate inventory reporting is dependent on acceptable verification results, as defined by the Registry.
