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:

We use the General Reporting Protocol for the Voluntary Reporting Program that is put out by The Climate Registry.


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:

Once the GHG emissions inventory is completed by Energy Management, it is submitted to the Director of Utilities and Energy Management for verification.


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