How Advanced Technology Can Increase Data Reliability
Sustainability Data
There are somewhere between 40-45,000 publicly listed companies in the world, according to the World Bank, and their direct emissions (Scope 1) account for between 20- 25% of the world’s GHG emissions.
Only about 17% of those publicly listed companies report their direct emissions – thatʼs only 6,500 companies worldwide. So, yes we have a problem with reporting. As it turns out though, the problem isnʼt quite as big as you might think, because those 6,500 companies that do report emissions emit about 74% of the Scope 1 emissions of the full universe of public companies. So while we donʼt have all the data weʼd like to, the good news is that we have a good chunk of the data that matters in this case.
But, what about the reliability of that data?
