How are the CRC Energy Efficiency Scheme League Tables set?
Annual League Tables will detail companies' performances over the year, which are expected to be made public in order to further incentivise energy efficiency. The League Table will include an absolute metric (carbon emissions), a growth metric (carbon intensity) and an early action metric.
The absolute metric is the base metric on which the League Table will be constructed and will be the percentage change of annual emissions relative to the organisation’s previous five year rolling average. |
 |
The growth metric will measure the organisation’s percentage change in emissions per unit of turnover relative to its average emissions per unit of turnover. For the public sector it will be per unit of revenue expenditure rather than unit of turnover.
The early action metric will only feature in the Introductory CRC Energy Efficiency Scheme phase, and will be calculated from measures put in place before the CRC Energy Efficiency Scheme – equal weighting between the percentage of emissions covered by automatic metering and the percentage of emissions covered by the Carbon Trust Standard certificate or an equivalent scheme.
Members of schemes of equivalent nature to the Carbon Trust Standard may qualify for the early action metric by measuring and demonstrating an absolute carbon emissions reduction over the past three years without using offsets; using a transparent, evidence-based, high-quality carbon management system which is available to all CRC Energy Efficiency Scheme participants; verified by independent and accredited third parties.
The weightings for the three metrics in deciding league table placements will be:

The CRC Energy Efficiency Scheme will be a high-profile environmental initiative which will attract a huge amount of public and media attention, especially regarding the positioning of well-known brands in the league table. Can your business afford to be seen at the bottom? What price for your brand's reputation?
