Four SSCI Scorecards

SSCI’s Main Street performance Scorecard™ presentations (April 17 lecture and June 4 Conference) offer four SSCI performance scorecards (PS) as noted below in Table 1.

Table 1

As a minimum, all organizations should issue a SSCI Carbon Footprint Performance Scorecard™. The size of an organization’s CO2 emissions and the nature of an organization’s operations will determine which other SSCI performance scorecards should be issued.

SSCI’s one page, four-bottom-lines, Main Street Performance Scorecard™ is a more cost and stakeholder effective report than issuing an annual, lengthenty, Global Reporting Initiative, triple-bottom-line, sustainability report.

Organizations who must report Scope 1 CO2 emissions will also have to issue a Scope 2 scorecard to meet Kyoto/Copenhagen protocol mandatory reporting standards. Current practice has it that those who do report Scope 1 and Scope 2 will opt not to report any Scope 3 emissions, i.e. Suncor Energy Inc. This is a poor reporting management decision. The company is cheating itself out of valuable Scope 3 public relations, “green” recognition. Poor climate change reporting leads to charges of “greenwashing”.

All organizations should report their Scope 2 Indirect Electrical CO2 emissions which can easily, along with Scope 3 emissions, be presented in a SSCI Carbon Footprint PS.

Companies should integrate their SSCI performance scorecards in their annual reports.
