FAQ.- How do we prioritize data collection for emission reporting in product life cycles?

To prioritize data collection, companies should start by identifying processes within the product’s life cycle that contribute the most to greenhouse gas emissions. This can be done through a screening process to rank processes by their emissions. Focus should be placed on processes that either consume large amounts of GHG-intensive materials or are known for their high emissions. It is also helpful to consider uncertainties in the data and prioritize areas where there is high uncertainty or a large impact on the overall results. This way, companies can efficiently allocate resources to collect the most critical data first.
