Measure first.
Fertivero is building its climate measurement. We publish no climate number until a verified baseline exists. We publish the method first, the baseline second, and targets last.
Four things to measure first
01
Baseline data
Energy use at sites, transport and logistics, purchased materials, product use where relevant, and waste, each with a named source, an owner and a reporting period.
02
Boundaries
Which entities, sites, product lines and parts of the value chain are in or out, with reasons.
03
Method
A named, recognised accounting method, applied the same way in every market, written down and published.
04
Verification
Independent review by a qualified third party before publication, described exactly, with no implied certification.
Eight steps
Appoint an owner and agree scope and boundaries.
Inventory data sources and gaps across all entities.
Select the method and factors.
Build the baseline for one full reporting period.
Independent verification.
Publish the method and baseline together.
Set targets from the verified baseline.
Report progress on a fixed cycle.
Two rules
- No climate claims on products, packaging, sales material or social posts.
- Never publish a target without its baseline, boundary and method alongside it.
