TRANSPARENT BY DESIGN
Follow every result back to its source
A carbon number is only useful if you can explain how it was built. OCEANS™ Sustainability documents the boundaries, data, factors, and assumptions behind every calculation.
What our methodology covers
Organizational boundaries
The entities and facilities an inventory covers, and how that scope is set.
Activity data
The underlying business records — fuel, electricity, purchases, travel — a calculation is built from.
Categorization
How activities are assigned to Scope 1, 2, or 3 and to a specific emissions category.
Emission-factor selection
Which documented factor applies to a given activity, and its source and version.
Calculation
How activity data and an emission factor combine into a reported result.
Assumptions and estimates
Where a figure is estimated rather than measured, and why.
Known gaps
Where data is missing or incomplete, tracked rather than silently omitted.
Review
How a calculation is checked before it is treated as final.
We do not describe this methodology as audited, certified, or guaranteed-compliant. It is a documented, repeatable process — the same one behind every OCEANS™ Sustainability result.
