When you complete your company profile, our platform processes key information about your industry, sector, value chain and business facilities that is used to determine your material emissions sources.
Your consultant will couple this information with insights from your onboarding session to finalise your materiality assessment and emissions inventory boundary. This determines the data that will need to be prepared and uploaded to Unravel Carbon to complete your emissions inventory.
Unravel Carbon has three materiality categories - Low, Medium and High. Below is a summary of some of the differences between each category:
| Category | Size | Risk | Sector guidance | Other |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Low | Expected to make up <5% of your Scope 3 emissions | Unlikely to contribute to your company's climate risk exposure | Deemed insignificant by relevant sector guidance | Emissions category is not reported by most of your peers |
| Medium | Expected to make up 5-20% of your Scope 3 emissions | May contribute to your company's climate risk exposure | Deemed significant by relevant sector guidance | Emissions category is reported by some of your peers |
| High | Expected to make up >20% of your Scope 3 emissions | Likely to contribute to your company's climate risk exposure | Deemed significant by relevant sector guidance | Emissions category is reported by the majority of your peers |
You can view your materiality assessment in the Materiality section (under Define) of Unravel Carbon. You can refer to this article for more information on how to use this feature.
