How do I answer metrics: Energy consumption per high-impact climate sector & Gross revenue per high-impact climate sector

Atlas Metrics recommends reading the following FAQs first:

How do I answer metrics: If the organization is active in high-impact climate sectors & High-impact climate sector(s) in which the organization is active

This FAQ is to help you answer:

Metric 1: Energy consumption per high-impact climate sector

Metric 2: Gross revenue per high-impact climate sector

These two HICS metrics are frequently requested for regulatory reporting purposes, however, often they are not directly relevant to reporting organizations. Please check first, if you are required to answer these metrics by answering the following condition:

Condition: Does your organization’s NACE code fall under any of the listed high-impact climate sectors?

If yes:

Please skip to sections Answering Metric 1: Energy consumption per high-impact climate sector & Answering Metric 2: Gross revenue per high-impact climate sector.

If no:

Please click the “Omit” button for both metrics and select/enter the reason for omitting e.g., “not applicable”.

If unsure / not aware of what your organization’s NACE code is or if it falls under a high-impact climate sector:

Please read the FAQs mentioned above before answering the condition.

Best reporting practices:

Ensure consistency in the data you have provided for all metrics related to the high-impact climate sector. Example of consistent reporting:

If the organization is active in high-impact climate sectors
- Data Submission: Yes
High-impact climate sector(s) in which the organization is active
- Data Submission: Agriculture, Forestry, and Fishing
Energy consumption per high-impact climate sector
- Data Submission: Agriculture, Forestry, and Fishing - 51,000 kWh
Gross revenue per high-impact climate sector
- Data Submission: Agriculture, Forestry, and Fishing - 2,000000
