indicates that no data was submitted for this field
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:
Loyola completes our GHG emissions inventory via a third-party consultant, Gordian. Gordian conducts our inventory every year and provides insight into related trends. We provide them with scope 1, 2, and 3 data in which they compile, analyze, and report back to use at the end of every year.
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?:
Yes
A brief description of the GHG inventory verification process:
Internally, we have staff in facilities, not involved with the GHG emissions data collection validate the findings that Gordian presents. Again, our data is also independently verified by Gordian, an external third party.
Documentation to support the GHG inventory verification process:
