This guidance informs ISEAL members and their stakeholders on how to build systems to quantify, attribute and allocate GHG emission data  to certified commodities processes – both energy and land use – in line with the GHG Protocol.

In turn, producers can seek potential premiums and preferential procurement and mitigate the risk of losing demand due to pressure for climate performance data.
