Part 1. Greenhouse gas emissions inventory
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:
Operational control approach was used to determine the organization boundaries. The inventory for FY22 is in accordance with the IPPC’s Fifth Assessment Report global warming potential (GWP) values, with a custom fuel mix for scope 2 emissions.
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?:
A brief description of the GHG inventory verification process:
Utility data is collected by Facilities staff and analyzed by staff from the Institute for Sustainable Practices. All GHG data is compiled in SIMAP (Sustainability Indicator Management & Analysis Platform), compared to previous years and reviewed for possible errors. The methodology and results is later reviewed the LCC's Sustainability Committee before publishing the yearly report following the IPCC's fifth assessment report version for GWP.
Documentation to support the GHG inventory verification process:

Total Scope 3 GHG emissions, performance year:
A brief description of how the institution accounted for its Scope 3 emissions:
For scope 3 emissions, commuting to and from campus from students, faculty and staff was calculated using surveys and ridership data of public transportation. Air travel for college business is also accounted for in total dollar amount as well as total waste sent to the landfill.
