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:

Calculate the ACG greenhouse gas emissions which are classified into Scope 1 and 2 (according to the leading GHG Protocol corporate standard). The calculation is based on the sum of the resources consumption and the relevant GHG emission/
removal factor published by the national bodies (Ministry of the Environment & Energy and Renewable Energy Sources Operator & Guarantees of Origin S.A. DAPEEP, Greece)for the CO2.


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:

Data was analyzed and checked by an independent external engineer and TUV Hellas during ISO50001 audit. The staff involved with the accounting process were interviewed as were key personnel from the Technical Services of the institution.Data was crosschecked with electricity and natural gas bills, purchasing orders and equipment accounted for by the GhG inventory were surveyed. Working assumptions were valid as was the methodology used for the inventory.
