2. Value Chain Interventions: Emissions Accounting + Reporting towards performance targets

3. SUSTAINABLE SUPPLY CHAINS - INTERVENTIONS
How can companies account, report and be recognised for their supply chain interventions?
Phase 1 - Development of accounting and reporting guidance for interventions, compatible with GHG Protocol and Science Based Targets
Enable corporates to claim the maximum credible benefit of their interventions and report towards performance targets
Incorporate biological sequestration and develop a soil carbon guideline

4. VALUE CHAIN INTERVENTIONS EMISSIONS ACCOUNTING
A sector-neutral accounting + reporting framework providing guidance on how companies can reflect their value chain interventions towards GHG corporate inventory performance targets’

5. INTERVENTION ACCOUNTING
Corporate Scope 3 inventory
Best practice guidance for intervention accounting and how to incorporate into corporate reporting

6. INTERVENTION ACCOUNTING GUIDELINE
Example - Corporate implements a series of restoration projects, maximising soil sequestration
Part 1 - How to account for intervention emissions (boundary, scope, baseline, MRV etc)
Part 2 - How to include intervention emissions in corporate report (substitution)
Part 3 - How to communicate about the intervention and its relationship with carbon credits

7. SOIL CARBON GUIDELINE
How to quantify (measure, monitor, report, verify) carbon sequestered in soil for reporting emissions towards performance targets
