NZ5: Achievement

  1. Is the entity’s emissions performance already at least equal to what is required by its sectoral or regional pathway for 2050?

chevron-rightIntent: What is the purpose of this question?hashtag

This question asks whether the asset is already operating at emissions intensity consistent with its net-zero pathway value in the year 2050, rather than being on a pathway toward it.

chevron-rightInput: How do I answer this question?hashtag

Answer “Yes” only if current emissions performance is already at or below the level required by 2050.

Answer “No” if the asset is still transitioning toward that level.

  1. What emissions scopes does this achievement claim cover?

chevron-rightIntent: What is the purpose of this question?hashtag

This question intends to determine what Scopes are covered by the claim that emissions performance is at least equal to what is required by the asset’s sectoral or regional pathway for 2050.

chevron-rightInput: How do I answer this question?hashtag

Select the Scope option (“Scopes 1 and 2” or “Scopes 1, 2, and material Scope 3”) that accurately reflects the emissions Scopes for which current performance already meets the 2050 pathway level.

Where Scope 3 emissions are material, achievement should not be claimed unless those Scope 3 emissions are also at the required level.

  1. What is the emissions performance required by the sectoral or regional pathway for 2050?

chevron-rightIntent: What is the purpose of this question?hashtag

This question is used to understand the relevant pathway level or benchmark for 2050.

chevron-rightInput: How do I answer this question?hashtag

Use the open-text field to input the relevant 2050 pathway level or benchmark, including units and assumptions where appropriate.

  1. Is the operational model expected to maintain this level of emissions performance?

chevron-rightIntent: What is the purpose of this question?hashtag

This question aims to determine whether an entity will maintain the stated level of net-zero performance below the 2050 pathway level or benchmark.

chevron-rightInput: How do I answer this question?hashtag

Answer “Yes” where the asset’s design, technology, and operating practices support the continued maintenance of net zero-aligned performance.

Answer “No” where current performance relies on temporary or one-off factors.
