Adding your organization's target allows you to compare the impact of your actions against the target through the CO2e & resource reduction pathway report.
The steps below apply once you’ve set a target within your organization. For more information on how and why to do this, see this article.
1. Set your target:
To add your target, please contact our team using the contact us form and include the information below:
- Metric category: we can set targets for data you are tracking - Scope 1&2 CO2e, energy, water, waste, food waste.
- Target Type: absolute or intensity target (see below)
- Baseline year
- Target year
- Total reduction (%) or Annual reduction (%)
The platform supports adding one target per metric category for each organization.
Target Types:
On M2030, you can set two types of target:
-
An absolute target refers to a target that aims to reduce GHG emissions by a set amount. For example, Company A has set an emissions target aiming to reduce their emissions by 20% by 2025. An absolute target refers to the total amount of emissions being emitted.
-
An intensity target is a normalized metric that sets a company’s emissions targets relative to some sort of economic output. That output can be anything from number of employees or revenue, among others. This allows a business to set emissions reduction targets while accounting for economic growth.
