7.1 - Prepare the evaluation of your assessment
How to choose a dedicated evaluation team? Which deliverables are necessary for the evaluation?
Composition of the evaluation team for a Bilan Carbone®
The organization is responsible for contacting an evaluator, who acts alone or forms an evaluation team. The list of trained and certified evaluators is available in thedirectory of the ABC.
The entire evaluation team is trained in the Bilan Carbone® method and all its members must belong to organizations that are members of the ABC. It is led by an evaluation project manager who is, in addition, trained and certified for the evaluation of assessments. Furthermore, if the organization wishes to obtain its evaluation certificate with limited assurance, it may request the participation of a chartered accountant in the mission to evaluate the assessment.
It is important to respect the concepts of impartiality and independence of the people involved in the evaluation of assessments with regard to those who prepared those assessments. The ABC must be informed of any conflict of interest for the evaluation of a Bilan Carbone®.
More information on the evaluation team for Bilan Carbone® assessments and the concept of impartiality can be found in the assessment guide.
Prepare supporting documents for the evaluation
Section 6.1 details the Bilan Carbone® deliverables, and the supporting documents required for the evaluation.
Among these deliverables is the self-assessment report completed by the organization prior to the evaluation. This is done following the instructions of the assessment guide and by completing the blank report found in the annex. This will in particular allow to:
Better know what to expect in the case of a first evaluation
To properly prepare all evidence or additional documents necessary for the evaluation
To correct any possible error preventing the assessment from being verified and validated
Furthermore, certain supporting documents remain valid for several years and carrying out a Bilan Carbone® process regularly (particularly for high maturity levels) should not force the organization to systematically repeat considerations whose conclusions remain relevant. The evaluator thus has a validity range for certain deliverables:
Deliverables No. 16 to 19 : The action plan and their quantifications, the objectives of the transition plan as well as its trajectory, remain valid for a period of 2 years. However, it is necessary to keep the monitoring of the transition plan up to date;
Deliverable No. 9 for an Advanced level: The risk analysis remains valid for a period of 10 years ;
Deliverable No. 10 : The entire stakeholder engagement process and the actions carried out remain valid for a period of 2 years ;
