Assessment of methodological compliance
Assessment of compliance with the methodology of the Bilan Carbone® and the Regulatory GHG Assessment.
Various criteria must be evaluated to ensure that the assessment complies with the methodological requirements. The criteria are defined below, accompanied by the specific expectations for each of them.
For the Bilan Carbone® direct links to the method are made. The requirements vary depending on the maturity level of the organisation, with the beginner level to be respected at minimum.
On the renewal of the assessment
For the Regulatory GHG Assessment: The renewal is set at 3 years for legal entities under public law and 4 years for legal entities under private law.
For the Bilan Carbone® Initial and Standard: The renewal of the assessment must take place at least every 4 years.
For the Bilan Carbone® Advanced: The renewal of the assessment must take place at least every year.
If this is a first assessment, this criterion is not to be evaluated.
On the operational boundary
For the Regulatory GHG Assessment: All direct emissions are taken into account. The coverage threshold, allowing the inclusion of all significant indirect emissions, must not be lower than 80%. If it were to be lower than 80% a justification is expected (according to the methodology in its version 5).
The categories are distributed according to the specifications of the methodology in its version 5.

On the emissions profile
For the Regulatory GHG Assessment: NOT APPLICABLE
For the Bilan Carbone®: refer to the specifications of criterion N of the Bilan Carbone® method in section 4.5 - Emissions profile
On the vision and objectives of the transition plan
For the Regulatory GHG Assessment: The transition plan indicates the quantitative objectives it sets for the medium term (deadline corresponding to the period of its next assessment) and for the long term (horizons 2030 and 2050 in coherence with the milestones of the National Low Carbon Strategy)
For the Bilan Carbone®: refer to the specifications of criterion O of the Bilan Carbone® method in section 5.1 - Definition of objectives
On the action plan
For the Regulatory GHG Assessment: The transition plan presents separately, for direct and indirect emissions, the actions and the means that the Legal Entity intends to implement during the years leading up to its next assessment.
For the Bilan Carbone®: refer to the specifications of criterion P of the Bilan Carbone® method in section 5.2 - Construction of the action plan
On the quantification of actions
For the Regulatory GHG Assessment: The transition plan indicates the overall volume of greenhouse gas emission reductions expected for direct and indirect emissions.
For the Bilan Carbone®: refer to the specifications of criterion Q of the Bilan Carbone® method in section 5.2 - Construction of the action plan
On the low-carbon pathway
For the Regulatory GHG Assessment: NOT APPLICABLE
For the Bilan Carbone®: refer to the specifications of criterion S of the Bilan Carbone® method in section 5.3 - Definition of the transition pathway
On monitoring
For the Regulatory GHG Assessment: The Legal Entity presents the results obtained by the implementation of actions during the years following the previous assessment. In the case where actions have not been implemented, explanatory arguments are expected.
For the Bilan Carbone®: refer to the specifications of criterion R of the Bilan Carbone® method in section 5.5 - Monitoring and governance of the transition plan
