indicates that no data was submitted for this field
Part 1. Greenhouse gas emissions inventory
Yes
A copy of the most recent GHG emissions inventory:
A brief description of the methodology and/or tool used to complete the GHG emissions inventory:
SIMAP used by Sightlines, LLC.
Has the GHG emissions inventory been validated internally by personnel who are independent of the GHG accounting and reporting process and/or verified by an independent, external third party?:
Yes
A brief description of the GHG inventory verification process:
The annual GHG inventory is third-party verified by Sightlines LLC (they complete ASU's inventory). This data is also reviewed twice during the inventory by a committee of ASU's sustainability operations leadership to ensure that the data represents an accurate and complete inventory of ASU's GHG emissions. During this process, data sources, notable year to year changes, and potential missing information is addressed.
Documentation to support the GHG inventory verification process:
