Wal-Mart Corporation - GHG Baseline Inventory and Management Strategy
Business Objective:
Wal-Mart wanted to know its corporate GHG emissions in an effort to begin mitigation strategies and submit a completed questionnaire to the Carbon Disclosure Project© (CDP) for 2006.


Solution:
Clear Carbon Consulting inventoried all corporate GHG emissions in a complete, detailed, accurate, and transparent process to create the company's GHG baseline in a manner that could be easily replicated and updated over the coming years. Clear Carbon Consulting created a GHG database to store all corporate electricity, fuel, refrigeration, fleet, and associated cost data to track and quantify the company's GHG emissions.


Project Results:
 With a project schedule of only three months, quantified and analyzed over 20 million tonnes of CO2      equivalent emissions.
 Created an inventory of sufficient detail and accuracy for reporting to the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) for      a submission that US News and World Report called "one of the most complete and thorough responses."
 Established location-specific baseline from which to track future emissions and identify mitigation options.
 The inventory was reviewed and certified by a third party, the Environmental Resources Trust.

Project Details:
 The GHG data collection process and quantification methodologies were designed specific to each direct and      indirect emissions source within inventory boundaries to ensure a complete baseline estimate.
 Clear Carbon Consulting verified GHG data through an extensive quality assurance process.
