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 120 points, composed of five main sections: Measure, Reduce, Raise Awareness, Commit, and Contribute, plus a Bonus section.

1. Measure (Total /40)

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 edited4.
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% of 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)

Description: You are awarded 5 points when your report is formally marked as ready.
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)

Description: 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 check13.

Scope 1 & 2 No Hypothesis (/2)

Description: 2 points are awarded if there are no emissions in Scope 1 and Scope 2 that were calculated using hypotheses or estimates.

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.

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 in progress that are set up by the company.

I have validated 5+ actions, updated the status, and uploaded proof in the action drawer: +1 point.
I have validated 10+ actions, updated the status, and uploaded proof in the action drawer: +2 points (for a total of 3 points).
Update Trigger: This value is updated manually after proof review.

Quantified Actions (/15)

This is based on the selected reduction scenario and its potential to lower your emissions by 2030.

Reduction potential of 10% by 2030: 3 points.
Reduction potential of 20% by 2030: 5 points.
Reduction potential of at least 30% by 2030: 10 points.
Reduction potential of at least 42% by 2030 (aligning 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).

The points are calculated using the following general principle for each 15-point component:

Points = \frac{(i-r)}{(i-p)} \times \text{maxPoints}

Where:

i = Base year emissions.
r = Real emissions (current year).
p = Projected emissions (from the reduction objective or SBTi target)33.
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 /20)

This section focuses on engaging your supply chain and your employees37.

Supplier Engagement (/15)

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

Supplier Data Precision (/5)

1 point if 20% or more of your supplier emissions are linked to an activity.
+2 points if 50% or more of your supplier emissions are linked to an activity.
+2 points if 80% or more of your supplier emissions are linked to an activity.

Supplier Validation (/2)

2 points if 80% or more of suppliers are validated by the client.

Supplier Engagement (/8)

4 points for engaging at least your top 5 suppliers.
4 points if 67% of your suppliers are engaged (the SBTi 2030 target).

Raise Awareness Among Employees (/5)

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

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

4. Commit (Total /20)

This section tracks your commitment to disclosure and official external validation50.

Communicate & Disclose (/10)

Public Disclosure (/7)

ADEME disclosure: 3 points for sharing your emissions with ADEME.
CDP Disclosure: 4 points for sharing your emissions with CDP.

Public Communication (/3)

3 points are awarded for publicly communicating your commitment by sharing your company certificate.
To complete the task: You must download the certificate and share it publicly on a platform like LinkedIn, then upload the link to the corresponding task.

SBTi Submission (/10)

10 points are awarded when your company's SBTi commitment is submitted and validated.
Update Trigger: This is a manual update; proof must be sent to your Account Manager.

5. Contribute - Offset (Total /5)

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

2 points are given for the first offset task (typically 10% of Scope 1 & 2 emissions)58.
3 points are given for the second offset task (typically 10% of total emissions).
