ESG Glossary
Definition
The method for dividing emissions between several products made in the same process. For example, when one production line makes a main product and a by-product, the emissions have to be split between them. ISO 14067 asks companies to avoid splitting where possible, then to split by physical measures such as mass, and to use economic value only when the others don’t work. The method chosen must be stated in the report.
In Context
“Our auditor asked why we chose mass-based allocation for our by-product, so we added the reasoning to our methodology report.”
