These are the first-ever guidelines for the chemical companies worldwide and other interested stakeholders published by the International Council of Chemical Associations (ICCA) and the World Business Council of Sustainable Development (WBCSD) on how to measure, manage and communicate avoided greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of value chains where chemical products are used.

The International Council of Chemical Associations (ICCA) and the World Business Council of Sustainable Development (WBCSD) released their first-ever guidelines for chemical companies worldwide and other interested stakeholders on how to measure, manage and communicate avoided greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of value chains where chemical products are used. The comprehensive document provides guidelines on how to calculate emission reductions in the value chain, by comparing two solutions with the same user benefit. The difference in emissions between two alternative solutions are the greenhouse gas emissions that the industry can avoid.
