What is ABC/M?

“A methodology that measures the cost and

performance of activities, resources, and cost

objects. Resources are assigned to activities, then

activities are assigned to cost objects based on

their use. Activity-based costing recognizes the

causal relationships of cost drivers to activities.”

Is your organization ready to measure

and manage its GHG emissions?

• Support within the entire organization

• People in charge of the initiative have

proper authority to enact change

• How information will be used and who will

use it

• Ability to gather data

• Ability to collect data from the supply chain

Benefits of using ABC/M to

measure GHG

• Identifying the GHG footprint of particular products and

services

• Providing a detailed understanding of the energy

consumption and emissions of particular activities within

a company

• Better defining the “boundaries” of emissions for which a

company is responsible

• Understanding how energy and GHG intensity affect cost

and how those costs are passed from producer to

consumer

• Building a valuable knowledge-base to help measure

and justify future corporate environmental and financial

decisions

Benefits of using ABC/M to

measure GHG

• Enhancing ability to evaluate and compare GHG

intensity and cost implications of activities, products and

services

• Articulating GHG related costs, risks and opportunities to

shareholders and other stakeholders

• Engaging staff in targeted energy reduction steps

• Setting the example and expectation to suppliers and

contractors to do the same

• Enhancing public profile and reputation as a good

corporate citizen
