Global

The Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) is a non-profit organization that promotes the measurement and disclosure of environmental data, helping companies, investors, and governments track carbon emissions, climate risks, and sustainability efforts. It aims to increase transparency and accountability in corporate sustainability to mitigate climate change.

Environmental Performance - Climate Change

  • Scope 1, 2, and 3 Emissions: Sections 7.6 - 7.12

  • Emissions breakdown: Sections 7.15 - 7.23.1

  • Energy-related activities: Sections 7.29 - 7.52

The GRESB Real Estate Assessment is an investor-driven ESG benchmark and reporting framework for real estate companies and investors, evaluating sustainability performance across regions and property types. It provides validated data, scoring, and benchmarking on management, performance, and development factors to help investors make informed decisions and assess risks and opportunities.

The Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB) is a non-profit organization that provides industry-specific sustainability accounting standards to help companies manage and report on ESG issues material to their business. In 2023, SASB updated its climate-related standards to align with IFRS S2 Climate-related Disclosures and amended non-climate content for broader international applicability.

The Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) is an international organization that offers a widely used framework for sustainability reporting, covering ESG topics such as climate change, human rights, labor practices, and supply chain sustainability.

Disclosures:

  • 301-1 Materials used by weight or volume

  • 301-2 Recycled input materials used

EPA’s Energy Star Portfolio Manager

US & Canada

Portfolio Manager is an online resource management tool that allows users to benchmark energy use for various building types, and is widely used, with nearly 25% of U.S. commercial buildings actively participating. It also serves as Canada's national benchmarking tool.

Europe

The Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) is a European Union regulation requiring large companies to disclose detailed information on their environmental, social, and governance (ESG) practices. It aims to improve transparency, accountability, and comparability of sustainability reporting across companies.

  • ESRS E1-5 and E1-6 Climate Change

  • ESRS E2-4 Pollutants [PARTIAL]

  • ESRS E3-4 Water

  • ESRS E5-5 Waste

Australia

NABERS (National Australian Built Environment Rating System) is a government initiative that measures the environmental performance of buildings in areas such as energy efficiency, water usage, waste management, and indoor environment quality. It provides a star rating system, helping building owners and tenants assess and improve the sustainability of their properties.

Data required to estimate a NABERS ranking that aligns with data stored in Atrius: 

  • Building size, occupancy, occupied hours 

  • Energy consumption 

  • Water consumption 

  • Indoor air quality 

Atrius’ NABERs dashboard aggregates this information which can be exported or made accessible to a NABERS assessor.

Australia

NGER single national framework for reporting and disseminating company information about greenhouse gas emissions, energy production, energy consumption and other information specified under NGER legislation.

By facility/entity

  • Scope 1 Consumption /Emissions by fuel type

  • Scope 1 breakdown by GHG

  • Scope 2 Purchased energy consumption/ Scope 2 emissions by energy type

  • Scope 2 Energy produced/ Fuel used for energy production 

  • Scope 2 Electricity generation by type 

We support the NGA set of emission factors which is derived from and aligns with the required NGER factors 

UK

Requires all UK quoted companies to report on their global energy use in addition to greenhouse gas emissions in their annual Directors’ Report. There are also requirements for large unquoted companies and limited liability partnerships to disclose their annual energy use and greenhouse gas emissions and related information.

  • UK energy use for electricity, gas, and directly consumed transport fuel (includes UK offshore area)

  • Greenhouse gas emissions from energy use

    • Scope 1

    • Scope 2

  • Emissions intensity

CA SB253 (SB219)

California

SB 219 amends SB 253, which requires reporting entities with more than $1 billion in total annual revenues that are “doing business” in the state of California to annually disclose their emissions

  • Scope 1 emissions

  • Scope 2 emissions

  • Scope 3 emissions

Boston

BERDO is a local law that aims to reduce air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions generated by large buildings in Boston. Building owners subject to BERDO are required to report their buildings’ annual energy and water consumption

Per building

  • Annual Energy and Water consumption via ESPM

  • Emissions from fuel or electricity consumption

New York

Most buildings over 25,000 square feet are required to meet new GHG emissions limits beginning in 2024 with the goal to reduce the emissions produced by the City’s largest buildings

The Greenhouse gas protocol establishes comprehensive global standardized frameworks to measure and manage greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from private and public sector operations, value chains and mitigation actions. GHG Protocol supplies the world's most widely used greenhouse gas accounting standards.

Atrius Sustainability’s calculation methodology is aligned with GHGP, see assurance.
