Disclosure form
No single formulaReport the source-defined result with its stated fields and method disclosures. The source explicitly states that companies may choose to report total GHG emissions of the investee as an additional standalone metric. It is distinct from facilitated emissions, financed emissions, avoided emissions, and generic emissions-to-air metrics in the shortlist. The evidence does not support assigning a more specific mass unit than the extracted CO2e unit or imposing an unsupported calculation method.

Evidence and status sources
Sustopedia checked each record-specific claim directly against primary publisher material. Labels distinguish current measurement authority from future compatibility and corroborative, legal, edition, or method status context. Corroborative evidence can support a stated limitation but cannot establish the core measurement by itself.

Source-edition basis: Corporate Value Chain (Scope 3) Accounting and Reporting Standard, 2011 publication.
- Disclose that the reported amount represents total GHG emissions of the investee and is presented as an additional standalone metric.
Record-specific limitations
- This is an optional additional standalone metric; it is not the same construct as the reporting company's allocated Scope 3 Category 15 investment emissions.
- The source excerpt does not specify a required GHG scope breakdown, consolidation approach, or emissions-factor methodology.
Interpret this metric with the stated reporting boundary, period convention, value shape, and unit. Results prepared with different boundaries or conventions may not be directly comparable.
Measurement evidence supports the core record-specific claims described above. Corroborative evidence can support limitations, while compatibility and status sources provide their separately labelled context. None of these cards by itself determines an organisation's legal applicability, filing readiness, assurance status, or compliance conclusion.
