Methodology
The data to calculate the final CO2 footprint of Triodos Bank are collected by Local Environmental Managers (LEMs) in the various countries where Triodos Bank has its operations. They complete all data, including underlying evidence, in a CO2 Management Application of the Climate Neutral Group (CNG). The Environmental manager in The Netherlands checks if the input of all data and evidence has been done correctly. After the completion of this phase, all data is consolidated by the Finance Division (using the four eyes principle). Finally, an external auditor checks if all relevant data has been entered accurately and approves the outcome. CNG determines conversion factors for the calculation of the amount of greenhouse gas emissions caused by Triodos Bank on an annual basis. The conversion factor multiplied by the outcome of the different components results in Triodos Bank’s total CO2 footprint.
The CO2 footprint breakdown in different scopes is in line with international standards like the Greenhouse Gas protocol (GHG Protocol) and the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI).
