What are common challenges in creating a thorough account of greenhouse gas emissions and how can they be overcome?

Any company with significant operations and supply chains, such as Amazon, could benefit from using a GHG emissions calculator in their Sustainability Report. The calculator would allow Amazon to quantify its emissions across its value chain, including its vast logistics network. This data could then be used to identify key areas for emissions reduction, inform sustainability strategies, and communicate progress to stakeholders in a transparent and credible way.

The visualization of greenhouse gas emissions in a Sustainability Report enhances understanding by providing a clear and concise breakdown of the organization's emissions throughout its value chain. It separates the value chain into key components and lists the scope of emissions underneath. This allows stakeholders to easily comprehend the extent and sources of the organization's emissions. Furthermore, it can help identify areas where emission reduction efforts can be focused.
