The GHG Assessment Score is a comprehensive metric used to evaluate the completeness,quality, and actionability of your carbon reporting and reduction strategy. The total score is out of 160 points, composed of five main sections:Measure,Reduce,Raise Awareness,Commit, and Contribute, plus a Bonus section.

How do we compute the score?

1. Measure (Total /50) This section rewards the quality and precision of your Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Report, primarily focusing on the use of activity-based data.

GHG Report Precision (/30) This score measures the percentage of your total emissions calculated using activity-based data (physical data) rather than less precise methods. The more precise your report, the higher the points awarded.

Update Trigger: This value is automatically updated when the report is downloaded or edited.
Formula Logic: Your share of activity-based emissions is compared against the performance of other companies in the Greenly database to award points.
If your share of activity-based emissions is higher than 94% of other company shares, you earn the maximum 30 points.
If your share is between 47 % and 56 % among other company shares, you earn 15 points.- If your share is between 4% and 22% of other company shares, you earn 6 points.

Quality Check & Report Finalization (/5) - You are awarded 5 points when your report is formally marked as ready, after finishing all quality check. This ensures the reliability of your data.

Update Trigger: Automatically updated.

Scope 1 & 2 (/5)

This section is split into two components focusing on the quality of your Scope 1 and Scope 2 data.

Scope 1 & 2 Activity-Based (/3)

3 points are awarded if 100% of your Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions are calculated using activity-based data (meaning no expense-based activities remain for these scopes).
Prerequisite: Data collection must be finished to trigger this check.**Scope 1 & 2 No Hypothesis (/2) **
2 points are awarded if there are no emissions in Scope 1 and Scope 2 that were calculated using hypotheses or estimates.

Complete an LCA with Greenly (/10) -1 point is awarded for each Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) completed with Greenly, up to a maximum of 10 points.

Update Trigger: Automatic update after the LCA has been validated.

2. Reduce (Total /50)

This section evaluates your climate strategy and your efforts to reduce emissions.

Climate Strategy & Reduction Actions (/20)

Reduction Objective (/2)
You are awarded up to 2 points based on the ambition of your validated decarbonization objectives.

Update Trigger: This value is automatically updated when you validate up a reduction objective.
Formula Logic:- Set an objective of at least 20% reduction by 2030:1 point.
Set an objective of at least 30% reduction by 2030:2 points.**Reduction Actions (Action Already Done) (/3) **
Points are awarded for actions already completed or currently in progress that have been implemented by the company.
I have validated 5+ actions, updated the status, and uploaded supporting evidence in the actions drawer:+1 point.
I have validated 10+ actions, updated the status, and uploaded supporting evidence in the actions drawer:+2 points (for a total of 3 points).
Update Trigger: This value is updated manually after the supporting evidence has been reviewed.**Quantified Actions (/15) **
This is based on the selected reduction scenario and its potential to reduce your emissions by 2030.
10% reduction potential by 2030:3 points.
20% reduction potential by 2030:5 points.
At least 30% reduction potential by 2030:10 points.
At least 42% reduction potential by 2030 (aligned with the SBTi target):15 points.

Yearly Evolution: Effective Reduction (/30) This component rewards the actual reduction achieved in subsequent reporting years compared to your base year. The 30 points are split equally:15 points for progress against your chosen reduction scenario, and 15 points for alignment with the Science-Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) objective (-42% by 2030).

Update Trigger: This value is automatically updated.
Formula Logic:
The points are calculated using the following general principle for each 15-point component:

Formula: Points = [(i-r)/(i-p)]*maxPoints

 Where:

i = Base year emissions.
r = Real emissions (current year).
p = Projected emissions (from the reduction objective or SBTi target).
If your real emissions (r) are on track with projected emissions (p), you receive the full 15 points.
If your real emissions are higher than your base year emissions (r > i), you receive 0 points.
⚠️ This comparison does not account for changes in calculation methodology, which would require a rebaselining.

3. Raise Awareness (Total /25)

This section focuses on engaging your supply chain and your employees.

Supplier Engagement (/15)

Points are distributed across three main areas of supplier data quality and engagement.

Supplier Data Precision (/5)

Formula Logic:-1 point if 20% or more of your suppliers’ emissions are linked to an activity.
+2 points if 50% or more of your suppliers’ emissions are linked to an activity.
+2 points if 80% or more of your suppliers’ emissions are linked to an activity.**Supplier Validation (/2) **
Formula Logic:- If 80% or more of suppliers are validated:2 points.**Supplier Engagement (/8) **
Formula Logic:- Engaging at least your top 5 suppliers: 4 points.
If 67% of your suppliers are engaged (the SBTi 2030 target): 4 points.

Raise Awareness Among Employees (/10)

Points are awarded based on employee participation in internal or external training sessions.

If an employee completes at least one training session, they are considered trained for the year.
The client reaches 10% of employees who have completed a training session:1 point.
The client reaches 40% of employees who have completed a training session:+1 point.
The client reaches 80% of employees who have completed a training session:+3 points (for a maximum of 5 points).

4. Commit (Total /20)

This section tracks your commitment to disclosure and official external validation.

Communicate & Disclose (/10)

Public Disclosure (/7)

Update Trigger: This value is manually update by your Account manager.
Formula Logic:- Share your emissions with ADEME:3 points.
Share your emissions with CDP: 4 points.**Public Communication (/3) **
Update Trigger: This value is manually update by your Account manager.
Formula Logic: Share your company certificate in public:3 points.
To complete the task: You must upload the certificate and share it publicly on a platform such as LinkedIn, then upload the link to the corresponding task.

SBTi Submission (/10) -Update Trigger: This is a manual update; proof must be sent to your Account Manager.

Formula Logic: Submit to SBTi and be validated: 10 points.

5. Contribute - Offset (Total /5)

Points are awarded for offsetting the required amounts of CO2 equivalent emissions.

2 points are awarded for the first offsetting task (generally 10% of Scope 1 and 2 emissions).
3 points are awarded for the second offsetting task (generally 10% of total emissions).

6. Bonus (Total /20) ###Referral (/10)
