Working 9 to 5 on Climate Change

The document introduces a guide for non-technical staff at small and medium-sized office-based organizations to manage their carbon footprint. It outlines a process for gaining organizational support, calculating emissions, and setting reduction targets, supported by four customizable calculation tools for direct emissions (heating and transport), indirect emissions (electricity), business travel, and employee commuting. The guidance is aligned with the GHG Protocol Corporate Accounting and Reporting Standard.

• The guide provides a framework for office-based organizations to address climate change by offering tips on securing organizational support, identifying data for CO2 calculations, and establishing and achieving reduction targets.
• The guide includes four customizable calculation tools designed for non-technical users to quantify CO2 emissions from four specific sources: fuel for heating and transportation, purchased electricity, business travel (air, train, bus, and car), and employee commuting.
• The methodology used in the guide is based on the World Resources Institute's internal CO2 reduction commitment and is consistent with the GHG Protocol Corporate Accounting and Reporting Standard.
