Method used

To record the results, the GHG Protocol approach was applied, a tool used by companies and governments around the world to implement GHG inventories.

The objective of launching the Brazilian GHG Protocol program, which meets the specifications of ISO 14,064, is to improve the technical and institutional capacity of companies to manage GHG emissions through the dissemination of the calculation and reporting methodology of this tool. The GHG Protocol is one of the main tools for identifying and calculating greenhouse gas emissions and supporting their management.
