6.1 - Reporting the Bilan Carbone®

What deliverables shall be reported to finalise the approach?

Source: Pexels

The presentation of the Bilan Carbone® approach aims to:

  • compile all deliverables obtained at each stage

  • inform its stakeholders

  • document the approach, which is essential forcontinuous improvement

  • communicating about its Bilan Carbone®

The organisation shall determine its content, its availability to its stakeholders and the dissemination methods according to its internal and external reporting needs. The presentation is also a phase of Stakeholder engagement.

The presentation of the approach is carried out in 2 or 3 steps:

  1. Internal presentation and final presentation of the Bilan Carbone® and associated deliverables

  2. Presentation and publication of results: the emissions profile is deposited anonymously on the platform of the carbon accounting observatory in France.

  3. Voluntary presentation for the evaluation of the approach: in the event that the organisation wishes to have evaluated its assessment, additional supporting documents are required.

2️⃣ Presentation and publication of results

hashtag
Requirements relating to the deposit of assessments on the OCCF platform

The organisation's GHG profile is deposited anonymously at the end of the approach on the OCCF platform. In the event that the organisation has its assessment evaluated, the result of the evaluation will also appear in theObservatory of Carbon Accounting in France.

This contributes to public knowledge in carbon accounting, in order to improve understanding (notably statistical) of GHG emissions across different sectors of activity.

Furthermore, the organisation may publish its assessment (in whole or in part) on its website, in its external documentation and on social networks.

hashtag
3️⃣ Voluntary presentation for evaluation

All Bilan Carbone® deliverables (presented above) must be provided to the evaluator. In the event that the organisation wishes to have evaluated its assessment, additional documents must be annexed.

hashtag
Additional requirements relating to supporting documents

The tabs below list the supporting documents by maturity level of the assessment. The organisation may share documents corresponding to higher levels, particularly where efforts have been made to go further than what is required for its maturity level. All documents provided must be written in a language mastered by the evaluation team.

Sharing these documents with the evaluator may be subject to a confidentiality agreement.
