IntroductionWhat is a carbon footprint and how is it calculated?
• A carbon footprint is a measure of an organization’s impact on the environment in terms of GHG emissions released.
• What gets measured gets managed.

IntroductionSteps to The Registry’s Reporting Process
Step 1: Define your reporting boundaries
Step 2: Organize your inventory and define facilities
Step 3: Identify emissions sources and collect data
Step 4: Enter data into the Climate Registry Information System (CRIS) Deadline: June 30th, 2015
Step 5: Verification Deadline: December 15th, 2015

Step 1Define your reporting boundaries
Geographic Boundaries North America
US States & dependent areas Mexican states Canadian provinces & territories
Worldwide (Optional) If you verify some worldwide emissions, you
must verify all worldwide emissions. May choose to report worldwide emissions
at any time
