Activity data
Records need company context, reporting period, activity and unit before they can support a result.
The organization, operation, reporting period and relevant activities are defined before calculation. Exclusions and unresolved questions remain visible.
Airgold keeps the supplier's original value and unit alongside any explicit normalized unit used by the calculation.
Factors retain their source, version, geography, activity and compatible unit. Unsupported contexts should pause for review.
Airgold uses GHG Protocol concepts for boundaries, scopes and calculation structure. This does not mean external verification, certification or universal compliance.
Factors and calculations
The same reviewed activity data and factor should produce the same result.
