Emission boundary

In the Emission boundary tab, you can find and manage the organisational hierarchy of your emission boundary.

"Emission boundary" is a GHG protocol technical term, see our Methodology for reference. 

Here you can also change the Control approach of your Company. This changes how emissions are aggregated adross your organizational structure, according to the GHG protocol and our Methodology. 

Changes to organizational structure, organizational boundaries, and consolidation approach affect the GHG inventory. In Position Green Carbon Management, the main goal is to reflect the real situation of the company so decarbonization can be modeled reliably following the GHG protocol and SBTi best practice. This means historical inventories are kept as up to date as possible when the organizational structure changes.

For example, if a company acquires another company, add the new company to the organizational hierarchy. If the acquired company is already a Position Green customer, its historical inventories can be requested and added to the new organizational structure. If not, upload the historical inventory to ensure consistency. Similarly, if Company A divests Company B, Company B’s historical inventories are separated from Company A’s organizational structure.

When the organizational structure changes, the complete historical inventory changes accordingly. However, historical and reported data is not lost. Position Green keeps detailed change logs so changes can be reverted if needed.
