GHG-EBITDA Correlation Analysis

Purpose

This GitHub repository is designed to house data derived from publicly available sources. The primary focus is on listing Scope 1, 2, and 3 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions for various publicly traded companies. Additionally, it provides a comparison of the estimated total monetized emissions against the companies' EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization).

Data Standardization and Units

To ensure consistency in reporting, every effort has been made to standardize greenhouse gas data into a uniform unit of millions of metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalents (MTCO2e). In some cases, this required converting data from other units into MTCO2e.

Data Sources

Where possible, the source of each company's sustainability disclosure has been recorded. First-hand primary sources, such as disclosures directly from the companies themselves, are preferred to ensure reliability.

Accuracy and Presentation

While every effort has been made to ensure the accuracy of the data, this information is presented on a best-effort basis due to potential limitations in available disclosures and methodologies.

Emissions Intensity Ratio

The emissions intensity ratio is calculated by comparing the monetized emissions across all three scopes (Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3) against the company's EBITDA.

Monetization Methodology

The monetization of emissions is carried out at a rate of $236 per metric ton of CO2 equivalents, as recommended by the International Foundation for Valuing Impacts (IFVI).
