Target-implementation project greenhouse gas outcome
Measurement answer
What this metric measures
Target-implementation project greenhouse gas outcome is a future-effective SBTi Version 2.0 result. It preserves the applicable company population, reporting boundary, period, denominator and required disaggregation without importing source prose.
Specification
Metric specification
- Result format
- Multi-field profile
- Unit
- tCO2e — greenhouse gas quantity
- Reporting basis
- The annual reporting period or applicable target, validation or OER cycle; base, target, cumulative and current-period observations remain separately identified.
- Aggregation
- Keep project results separate unless project boundaries, periods and attribution methods are compatible; subtract disclosed leakage from attributed reductions and removals.
- Pillar
- Environmental
- Topic
- Climate targets and net-zero transition
- Controlled domain
- Climate and greenhouse gases
- Entity type
- Metric
Reporting boundary
An eligible target-implementation project and the share of its measured greenhouse gas outcome attributable to the reporting company, including leakage where applicable.

Value structure
Dimensions and units
- Unit
- tCO2e — greenhouse gas quantity
- Reporting basis
- The annual reporting period or applicable target, validation or OER cycle; base, target, cumulative and current-period observations remain separately identified.
Unit meaning: Metric tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent using the disclosed greenhouse gas inventory basis.
Published dimensions
- project
- reduction or removal
- attribution share
- leakage treatment
- applicability: Companies separately reporting eligible project outcomes used for target implementation.
- requirement level: conditional
- SBTi Corporate Net-Zero Standard edition and transition status
Calculation method
Formula information
- Status
- Specified
- Formula type
- Difference
Formula
Net attributed outcome = R + M − LAdd measured reductions and removals attributable to the company, then subtract leakage measured on the same project boundary and period.
Variables
| Symbol | Variable | Definition | Unit |
|---|---|---|---|
R | Attributed reduction | Measured project emissions reduction attributable to the company | tCO2e |
M | Attributed removal | Measured project greenhouse gas removal attributable to the company | tCO2e |
L | Leakage | Project-related leakage measured on the same boundary and reporting period | tCO2e |

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.

Interpretation boundaries
Method disclosures required
Source-edition basis: Corporate Net-Zero Standard Version 2.0, June 2026; effective 1 February 2027
- State the SBTi standard edition, applicable criterion, company category and effective or transition status.
- State the reporting entity, boundary, population, period, unit, denominator and dimensional classifications used.
- State estimation, conversion, exclusion, allocation, recalculation and assurance treatment where applicable.
- Link to the official SBTi source and retain the source-defined applicability conditions.
Record-specific limitations
- Version 2.0 becomes available for validation on 1 February 2027; Version 1.3.1 remains a distinct applicable edition through 31 January 2028.
- The June 2026 Methods, Metrics and Pathways consultation document is not used as final formula or benchmark authority.
- Comparability requires compatible company category, boundary, period, unit, denominator, classification and target or OER status.
- This page is an independently authored measurement aid and does not reproduce the source standard, tables, figures or equations.
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.
