Should an unlisted MSME publish its emissions in its annual report?
It is not required for an unlisted MSME, but a short, honest disclosure helps with lenders and buyers who ask anyway. Publish Scope 1 and 2, the method, what is estimated and one clear action. Do not publish a figure you have not checked, or a target you cannot track.
What to include
- Scope 1 and 2 totals and intensity per unit of output.
- Period, sites covered and factors used.
- Which numbers are estimates.
- One or two actions taken or planned.
What to leave out
- Net zero claims without a plan.
- Carbon neutral claims based on unverified credits.
Who reads it
Banks assessing green loans, large buyers checking suppliers under BRSR value chain rules, and future investors.
What Senseible does here
Senseible reads fuel, electricity and production documents into dated, fingerprinted plant records, so the monthly intensity behind a figure can be traced to its source.
