Introduction to the progress of step 6: definitions, governance, requirements and deliverables.

The completion of the Bilan Carbone® approach enables the organisation to obtain:

  • Step 6.1: a results presentation the deliverables that make up the Bilan Carbone® approach, whether intended for internal or external use.

  • Step 6.2: a compatibility of Bilan Carbone® deliverables with other approaches

  • Step 6.3: a projection on the next stages of its journey of transition, in terms of renewal and continuous improvement

⏳[WIP] For information, an infographic will soon be inserted here to summarise the timeline of step 6.

All terms related to the results presentation steps are explained in the glossary. They are reminded below:

  • Results presentation: process of finalising the approach, including the preparation of deliverables, their presentation and their validation. The results presentation is also a phase of Stakeholder engagement.

  • Documentation: process similar to the results presentation intended for internal use only. It aims at the continuous improvement of carbon accounting within the organisation. Documentation is useful for future handovers and renewals.

  • Deliverables: set of pieces, documents and information obtained at each step of the approach, compiled for the Results Presentation.

  • Compatibility: here the ability of the Bilan Carbone® to be used to meet other frameworks. The notion of “compatibility with” does not guarantee reciprocity.

  • Framework: here refers to other methods, standards and regulations for carbon accounting or low-carbon transition approaches.

The governance of the accounting step is part of the overall governance of the Bilan Carbone® approach presented previously.

The preparation of deliverables is the responsibility of the coordinator of the Bilan Carbone®, supported by the project team.

The validation of deliverables depends on the organisation's maturity level (either by the person in charge of coordination or by management).

A Stakeholder engagement action takes place during step 6. It aims at accountability, results presentation and communication around the results and the finalisation of the approach. It is part of the scheduling of Stakeholder engagement phases presented previously.

For reminder, here is the summary of requirements and recommendations, for each maturity level. These criteria are explained in detail in the following sub-sections.

Results presentation:

  • T: Deliverables

    • T1: All deliverables of the Bilan Carbone® approach are presented to the organisation. The assessment of these deliverables is voluntary. The GHG profile is submitted anonymously to the OCCF.

The information and deliverables obtained at the end of the approach are the subject of this section 6. They are presented in the next section.
