Webcor Also First to “Road Test” Global Standard for World Business Council for Sustainable Development SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Webcor Builders today announced that it is the first company to submit its complete supply chain greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions to the World Resources Institute. It also reported its emissions to the World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD) as one of 60 major corporations selected to “road test” the new GHG standard. The presentation was made recently at the Greenhouse Gas Protocol Product/Supply Chain Initiative Scope 3 Road Testing Workshop in Washington, DC. To date, there has been no effective methodology by which to capture what is called Scope 3 emissions – the significant amount of GHG emissions associated with a company’s suppliers, products and after-market supply chains. The WRI-WBCSD accounting emissions standard will allow companies to more uniformly and consistently identify, report and then reduce the total embodied carbon impact across their corporate value chains, including outsourced activities and supplier manufacturing.
