Part 1. Greenhouse gas emissions inventory

Has the institution conducted a GHG emissions inventory within the previous three years that includes all Scope 1 and 2 emissions? :
Yes

A copy of the most recent GHG emissions inventory:
A brief description of the methodology and/or tool used to complete the GHG emissions inventory:
The Calendar Year (CY) 2021 GHG inventory was conducted using University of New Hampshire's SIMAP. SIMAP is a software developed by the University of New Hampshire to determine institutions’ total emissions impact through data input and analysis. By entering data on Endicott’s consumption in a variety of categories, SIMAP calculates the GHG emissions associated with Endicott operations. All Scope 1 and 2 categories were included, as well as commuting, compost, fertilizers, refrigerant, food consumption, and chemical usage.

Has the GHG emissions inventory been validated internally by personnel who are independent of the GHG accounting and reporting process and/or verified by an independent, external third party?:
No

A brief description of the GHG inventory verification process:
---

Documentation to support the GHG inventory verification process:
---

Data source(s) and notes about the submission:
This inventory was completed by an Office of Sustainability Student Fellow to the best of her ability. Some information was not available/accessible, so representative data was used and therefore inventory may not be completely accurate.
