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 155 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 /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 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 90% of other company shares, you earn the maximum 30 points.
- If your share is average among other company shares, you earn 15 points.
- If your share is in the top 80% 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.

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 in progress that are set up by the company.

Update Trigger: This value is updated manually by your Account manager after proof review.
Formula Logic:
- I have validated 5 actions: 1 point.
- I have validated 10 actions or more: 3 points.

Quantified Actions (/15)

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

Update Trigger: This value is automatically updated when you reach a reduction potential.
Formula Logic:
- 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).

Update Trigger: This value is automatically updated.
Formula Logic:
The points are calculated using the following general principle for each 15-point component:
```
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 /20)

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)

Update Trigger: This value is automatically updated.
Formula Logic:
- If 20% or more of your supplier emissions are linked to an activity: 1 point.
- If 50% or more of your supplier emissions are linked to an activity: 3 points .
- If 80% or more of your supplier emissions are linked to an activity: 5 points .

Supplier Validation (/2)

Update Trigger: This value is automatically updated.
Formula Logic:
- If 80% or more of suppliers are validated: 2 points.

Supplier Engagement (/8)

Update Trigger: This value is automatically updated.
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 (/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.

Update Trigger: This value is automatically updated.
Formula Logic:
- Client reaches 10% of employees completing a training: 1 point.
- Client reaches 40% of employees completing a training: 2 points.
- Client reaches 80% of employees completing a training: 5 points.

4. Commit (Total /20)
