Global Reporting Initiative+Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions intensity ratio (G4-EN18-a)+About

This metric is based on the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) G4 Guidelines. It covers one of the requirements of Indicator G4-EN18 - ‘Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions intensity ratio'.

GHG emissions intensity expresses the GHG emissions per unit of activity, output, or any other organization-specific metric. Many organizations track environmental performance with intensity ratios. Intensity ratios are often called normalized environmental impact data. Intensity ratio defines an organization’s GHG emissions in the context of an organization-specific metric.

Intensity ratio defines an organization’s GHG emissions in the context of an organization-specific metric. Intensity is calculated by dividing the absolute emissions (the numerator) by an organization-specific metric (the denominator).

In combination with an organization’s absolute GHG emissions, GHG emissions intensity helps to contextualize the organization’s efficiency, including in relation to other organizations.
