Overview
The Emissions Management Tool supports RBA members’ emissions calculations, demystifies the complexity of GHG management, and advances member and supplier sustainability efforts.
The EMT collects emissions data such as energy consumption and fuel use data to calculate GHG emissions values. Other data tracked includes reporting and verification status, and information on reduction targets and initiatives from reporting entities. The EMT’s emission calculation methodology follows the recognized standards of the GHG Protocol and uses emission factors and coefficients backed by established data sources.
The EMT has a standardized greenhouse gas (GHG) reporting questionnaire and a platform that allows suppliers to complete their GHG inventory once and share those results with multiple RBA member customers through integration with RBA-Online – the RBA’s data management system – eliminating duplicate requests and reducing supplier burden.
The data collected follows stringent security protocols to protect confidential information, and the RBA is ISO/IEC 27001 certified.
The Emissions Management Tool includes:
- A surveying tool to capture essential emissions data across RBA members and their suppliers
- A guided emissions calculator to enable respondents to develop their own inventory
- Dashboards and reports to provide insights on reported information
Key Benefits:
- Increased visibility into your suppliers' GHG emissions
- Timelier data collection to improve speed and actionability
- Streamlined engagement, and reduced survey fatigue, for suppliers
- Trusted methodology and emissions factors backed by established data sources
The EMT is an RBA member benefit that is available free of charge to members and their suppliers. The platform can be accessed through RBA-Online.
