Guidance for Voluntary, Corporate Greenhouse Gas Reporting: Data and methods for the 2006 calendar year

April 2008, Ref. ME871

This publication gives guidance for corporations on voluntary Greenhouse Gas (GHG) reporting, including emission factors. It is intended to help those corporates that wish to voluntarily monitor and report greenhouse gas emissions on an organisational basis for their New Zealand operations.

It aims to encourage best practice in GHG monitoring and reporting and to support voluntary GHG reporting initiatives. Its purpose is both to endorse the referenced reporting frameworks and to provide information (emission factors and methodology) to enable organisations to apply them. The guide will be regularly updated in order to maintain consistency with international best practice and the New Zealand government’s national greenhouse gas inventory reporting.

The emission factors and methods contained within the Guidance document are provided for emission sources deemed common for commercial organisations; however the guidance document is also applicable to industrial organisations who wish to report on the same emission sources.

Example emission inventories

You can find examples of actual emission inventories at the Carbon Neutral Public Service (CNPS) programme webpage. These inventories have been developed by government agencies in accordance with the requirements of the CNPS programme.
