英國環境食品暨鄉村事務部 (DEFRA) 近期更新了溫室氣體排放計算的指南。
來看看小小的計算方式變革，將會帶給環安衛人員怎樣的影響？
環安衛人員身為永續發展與企業社會責任的專家，計算溫室氣體排放量將會是製作公司環境報告的第一步。這是一個難以下筆的報告，但其所帶來的益處與製作的義務性則是顯而易見。
溫室氣體排放的測量(GHGs)十分困難、耗時且可能非常昂貴。一開始就須設定好明確的測量策略。測量階段是一種定量的行為，然而如何繪製界限和測量範圍等種種問題卻需要主觀判斷。
此外，確保資料準確性可能比以前認為的更加困難。例如當一個建築物與另一家公司共用，就很難量化其能源的使用。收集資料的過程會隨著不斷發展的報告協議而變得更加複雜。這種監管方面的不確定性意味著企業需要經常不斷地了解最新發展。

As an EHS, sustainability or corporate social responsibility professional, measuring greenhouse gas emissions will be the starting point along the reporting journey for your company. It can be a difficult journey to manage, but the benefits and the obligations are well-established.
Measuring greenhouse gas emissions (GHGs) is difficult, time-consuming and potentially very expensive. A clear strategy for measuring GHGs needs to be set from the beginning. Measurement is a quantitative exercise; however, some of the questions surrounding where to draw boundaries and the scope of measurement can be a judgment call.
Furthermore, it can be harder than previously thought to ensure that data is exact. For example, it can be hard to quantify energy use when a building is shared with another company. The process of collecting data can be complicated further by the constant development of reporting protocols. This regulatory uncertainty means that companies constantly need to keep abreast of the latest developments..… <READ MORE>
