Equity Share

Accounting for emissions based on ownership percentage

What is Equity Share?

The equity share approach attributes emissions based on economic interest/ownership percentage. If you own 60% of a subsidiary, you account for 60% of its emissions.

Why It Matters for SECR

SECR uses operational control as the primary approach, but some organisations with joint ventures may use equity share for certain operations.

Examples

  • 1

    60% equity share in joint venture = 60% of emissions

  • 2

    Wholly owned subsidiary = 100% of emissions

SECR Reporting Requirements

Operational control is default; equity share may be disclosed additionally
