A Tool for Assessing Energy Use and Greenhouse Gas Emissions Management Performance

  • Health and safety
  • Land-use planning
  • Permitting processes / policy integration
  • Reporting official statistics
  • Socio-economic and environmental impact assessments

Challenge the practice is addressing: This practice addresses facility-level assessments for companies about their performance indicators for energy use and greenhouse gas emissions. This protocol should help to provide guidelines to companies in evaluating their performance of energy use and gashouse emissions by monitoring three performance indicators according to this assessment tool.

Concrete practice to achieve the expected goal: This protocol should help companies to monitor their energy use and greenhouse gas emissions management on a regular basis by monitoring the following three performance indicators: 1. energy use and greenhouse gas emissions management systems, 2. energy use and greenhouse gas emissions reporting, 3. energy use and greenhouse gas emissions performance targets.

Expected impact/goal of the practice: The aims of this protocol is to ensure that companies follow guidelines regularly based on the three performance indicators to assist companies in developing their capacity to monitor and improve their performance and to provide a basis for the related auditing.

Who is the target user group of the practice/intervention or implementing the practice/intervention? This practice is mainly relevant for companies.
