Quality assurance procedures: measuring carbon footprint

Abstract

This document is designed to provide a set of step-by-step instructions and methods which help to ensure that ECA’s carbon accounting and reporting processes and procedures meet acceptable standards. The development and use of these procedures will also facilitate evidence based decision-making and continual improvement. The document introduces the existing organizational guidelines, mandates and documents to guide the quality assurance process. It also explains the specific templates and checklists to be used by the responsible program managers or focal points at each step of the process: Entry, Implementation, Exit and Lessons Learned.
