b"To put together sustainability reports, companies turn to other companies who measure sustainability and write sustainability reports, such as Bedlingtons company. Some of these companies provide frameworks where they present guidelines for companies to follow for how to credibly report their sustainability information. There are other companies which will provide a report card assessing where the company is at for its sustainability goals.There are some set frameworks companies work with for these reports. One of these is the GHG Protocol, a global framework defining what a good measurement of greenhouse gas emissions is. It classifies greenhouse gas emissions under three different scopes. The first is direct emissions which are the ones you can control. The next is indirect emissions which are any that come from your energy supply. The final is all other indirect emissions that are up and down your supply chain. Scope three emissions are what the big companies are focusing for their emission reduction goals in their sustainability reports, Bedlington said. When a company sets a target to reduce their emissions X amount by X year, these are the emissionsEmma Bedlington, manager at Stratostheyre focusing on.There are a lot of competing organizations and frameworks that have different measurements of sustainability. And itsFood production accounts for been very confusing for companies to respond to, Bedlington22 % 22% of global greenhouse gas explained. For farmers, you may see this in changing dataemissionsrequests. Maybe one year your customer asks for this data and the next year, they ask you something else. And next year, it's slightly different. That's why, theyre trying to respond to the2,199varying frameworks.Overall, sustainability reports vary depending on the sector, but there is a movement to standardize them across sectors. Thiscompanies globally have means that companies within specific sectors are starting toscience-based targetsreport on the same points. Theres work underway to make the reports standardized overall, Bedlington added. In Canada, the government has started to add climate1,649companies globally have committed disclosures to the information organizations have to releaseto setting a net-zero target to keep publicly in their financial reports. As of 2022, all Crownglobal temperature increases below corporations had to release this information, and in 20241.5 C compared to pre-industrialized financial institutions will be required to. Bedlington is expectingtemperaturesthat in the future this will eventually become mandatory for all companies. In the United States, there are similar proposed disclosure rules which will require companies to increase theirGreenhouse gas emission.21 disclosure on climate-related risks and opportunities.for potatoes arekg0.21 kilograms per unitSPUDSMART.COM Spring 202331"
