If the ratio is calculated both for the energy consumed within the organization and outside of it, present such ratios separately.Reporting on this Indicator should include the following contextual information as a comment to the metric value:G4-EN5-b: Report the organization-specific metric (the ratio denominator) chosen to calculate the ratio.​G4-EN5-c: Report the types of energy included in the intensity ratio: fuel, electricity, heating, cooling, steam, or all.​G4-EN5-d: Report whether the ratio uses energy consumed within the organization, outside of it or both.
