Intensity-Based GHG Emissions Targets

Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions intensity refers to the amount of GHG emissions produced per unit of measurement most relevant to your business, most commonly turnover or per employee. 

Setting ambitious targets to reduce energy consumption and GHG emissions intensity is an essential step for organisations aiming to improve their sustainability and environmental performance, demonstrating that an organisation is proactively mitigating the impacts of its emissions on climate change.

Intensity-based emissions targets are dynamic and adaptable. They account for variations in business activity which can significantly affect emissions. These targets provide a framework that evolves with the company’s changing circumstances, eliminating the need to constantly reset objectives.
