ENERGY AND GREENHOUSE
GAS REPORT
As part of the Streamlined Energy and Carbon
Reporting (SECR) regulations, Access is
required to report its energy and Greenhouse
Gas (GHG) emissions within its Directors’
Report and actions taken (see pages 21 – 23).
Emissions were calculated following the GHG
Reporting Protocol (Corporate Standard)
using the Watershed platform. Energy usage
data was collected or estimated based on
building square footage for all facilities and
was combined with emissions factors from
the US Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA), Ecoinvent, Technical Compliance Rate
(TCR) and other data sources to calculate GHG
emissions.
Electricity emissions factors are chosen
based on geography to re昀氀ect the emissions
intensities of the facilities’ local grid.

The above 昀椀gures are market-based and locationbased. A location-based method re昀氀ects the average
emissions intensity of grids on which energy
consumption occurs (using mostly grid-averaged
emission factor data).
A market-based method re昀氀ects emissions from
electricity that companies have purposely chosen.
