Overview

Public consultation is a critical component of GHG Protocol’s Standard Development and Revision Procedure, providing an opportunity for all stakeholders to contribute feedback on key topics related to GHG Protocol standards and guidance.   

Two public consultations were recently held between October 20, 2025 and January 31, 2026: One focusing on updates to the Scope 2 Guidance (2015) which addresses inventory accounting, and one on consequential accounting methods for estimating avoided emissions from electricity-sector actions. 

Please note, these two public consultations are now formally closed. GHG Protocol cannot guarantee that feedback submitted after the closing date will be considered in the review process. 

For the Scope 2 Public Consultation, all feedback will be analyzed and work will be undertaken to review and revise the Scope 2 Guidance (2015) in consultation with the Scope 2 Technical Working Group as necessary.  

For the Electricity-Sector Consequential Methods Public Consultation, stakeholder input will be synthesized and used to inform the Actions and Market Instruments (AMI) Technical Working Group which will address the reporting of emissions impacts outside corporate inventories.
