Reduction in energy intensity compared to the previous year
The company has reduced its energy intensity from its base year or previous year.
About the data
This metric is based on "Content 302-3 Energy Intensity" of the "GRI 302: Energy" standard."
The requirements in the terms required by the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) for reporting by the organisation are as follows :
a. The energy intensity ratio of the organisation.
b. The specific parameters (denominator) that have been selected to calculate the ratio.
c. The types of energy included in the intensity ratio (fuel, electricity, heating, cooling, steam, or all),
cooling, steam, or all).
d. Whether the ratio covers energy consumption within the organisation, outside the organisation, or both.
However, if the company does not publish its energy intensity and we have to calculate it on the basis of the available data, we will only consider the consumption corresponding to electricity, as this is the source that allows us the greatest homogeneity in the publications and therefore comparability between companies

Methodology
We will "assign a" "YES" "to this question if:
- The company declares that it has reduced its energy intensity (per m2 of commercial area, m3 of merchandise, sales unit or any other unit of measure) in relation to its base year or previous year. Here we do not require any% reduction.
Or:
- The company does not publish its energy intensity, but we can calculate its reduction from the published historical data (at least for the last 2 years).
In this case, we will only consider the consumption corresponding to electricity, since it is the source that allows us greater homogeneity in the publications and therefore comparability between companies.
Electricity consumption intensity = Total electric consumption in Kwh / Commercial surface in m2
The data of the total commercial area in m2 will be obtained from the reports published on the chain's website for the year evaluated. The company may not publish it, but may use an intensity indicator based on its surface (of CO2 emissions per m2, for example), from which the total surface of the chain can be calculated.
Failing that, we may use the data published by some specialized reference sources such as Alimarket, Inforetail, DataRetail, Statista, Nielsen, Kantar, IRI Infoscan, ...
This data must be homogeneous and comparable for the 2 years analyzed, so the source of data on the commercial area must be the same. Thus, if we use Alimarket to find out the total commercial area of ??a chain in a given year, we must use the same source to compare with the previous year.
NOTE: the fact that a company sources its electricity from renewable sources only affects its GHG emissions, not its consumption ratio
