Text Box: The text box is validated, and its validation status is determined based on the requirements of the indicators. Various validation status lead to different scores according to the table below:

This indicator is not scored in 2018.

This indicator consists of 3 tables, which all receive a score between 0 to 1. The table section is comprised 50% by the score of Employees table, 25% by the score of Contractors table and 25% by the score for Customers & Community table.

Row scores:

• Table 1 – Employees: Row score = 0.1 × Baseline score + 0.15 × Performance score + 0.3 × Target score

• Table 2 – Contractors: Row score = 0.1 × Baseline score + 0.15 × Performance score + 0.3 × Target score
• Table 3 – Customers & Community: Row score = 0.1 × Baseline score + 0.3 × Performance score + 0.3 × Target score

Note: The maximum Baseline Score is 0.1, therefore the participant is only required to enter baseline data for one metric to receive maximum baseline points. The maximum Target Score is 0.3, therefore the participant is only required to enter target data (either Long Term or 2017) for one metric. The maximum Performance Score (2017) is 0.6.

Logic behind weightings for Employees and Contractors tables:

• Scoring of the tables is considered overall (i.e. not on isolated row basis).
• 60% of table score should be obtained if performance data (2017) is provided for 4x of the defined metrics.
• 10% score can be obtained for reporting baseline data.
• 30% score can be obtained for reporting target data.
• As there is a cap on baseline and target scores, then performance data (2017) for all 4 metrics is required to achieve maximum points for these tables.

Example scoring combination (Employees and Contractors table):

• One complete row: 0.55 points.
• Performance data only for all 4 metrics: 0.6 points.
• Performance data only for 2 metrics: 0.3 points.
• Performance data for only 2 metrics plus baseline data for 1 (or more) metrics: 0.4 points.

Logic behind weightings for Customers and Community tables:

• Scoring of the tables is considered overall (i.e. not on isolated row basis).
• 60% of table score should be obtained if performance data (2017) is provided for 2x of the defined metrics.
• 10% score can be obtained for reporting baseline data.
• 30% score can be obtained for reporting target data.
• As there is a cap on baseline and target scores, then performance data (2017) for all 2 metrics is required to achieve maximum points for these tables.

Text Box: The text box is validated, and its validation status is determined based on the requirements of the indicators. Various validation status lead to different scores according to the table below:

This indicator consists of 1 table which receives a score between 0 to 1. The table considers 4 key areas: a. Energy Imported, b. Energy Generated, c. Energy Consumed and d. Energy Exported. For all key metrics (except energy consumed) there are two rows each, being Total and Renewable, and the maximum score can be achieved by reporting on either of these two rows.

Row score = 0.1 × Baseline score + 0.15 × Performance score + 0.3 × Target score

Note: The maximum Baseline Score is 0.1, therefore the participant is only required to enter baseline data for one metric to receive maximum points. The maximum Target Score is 0.3, therefore the participant is only required to enter target data (either long-term or 2017) for one metric. This applies to any target row reported on. The maximum Performance Score is 0.6.

The table contains 7 rows. Energy Imported, Energy Generated and Energy Exported contain two rows each, including a 'Total' and 'Renewable' row. Energy consumed only contains one 'Total' row. In 2018, only the 'Total' rows are to be scored, not 'renewable' rows.

Text Box: The text box is validated, and its validation status is determined based on the requirements of the indicators. Various validation status lead to different scores according to the table below:

This indicator consists of 1 table which receives a score between 0 to 1. Each metric has a different weighting, that differs across 2 different scoring profiles (relating to sectors). The scoring profiles are 1. Renewable energy assets and 2. All other sectors (excluding renewable energy assets). The scoring profile that applies for 'Renewable Energy Assets' is determined by the participants response to RC4 (i.e. if a participants Primary Sector is 'Renewable generation, utility scale' and/or 'Renewable generation, distributed').

Scoring profile 1: Renewable energy assets

* The maximum Baseline Score is 0.10 and maximum Target Score is 0.3, therefore the participant is only required to enter target data (either Long-term or 2017) for one metric respectively. However, this one metric can only be selected from one of a. Scope 1 emissions, b. Scope 2 emissions, c. Total GHG emissions, d. Emissions avoided or e. Net GHG emissions. I.e. if they report baseline or target for any other metrics (i.e. Scope 3) then they receive no points. The maximum Performance Score is 0.6.

Scoring profile 2: All Other Sectors (excluding renewable energy assets)

* The maximum Baseline Score is 0.1 and Target Score is 0.3, therefore you are only required to enter baseline and/or data for one metric to receive maximum points respectively. However, this one metric can only be selected from one of a. Scope 1 emissions, or b. Scope 2 emissions, or c. Net GHG emissions, or d. Total GHG emissions. I.e. if they report baseline or target for any other metrics then they receive no points. The maximum Performance Score is 0.6.

Text Box: The text box is validated, and its validation status is determined based on the requirements of the indicators. Various validation status lead to different scores according to the table below:

This indicator consists of 1 table, which is scored as a standard performance indicator table. Row score = 0.2 × Baseline score + 0.5 × Performance score + 0.3 × Target score

Note: Unlike the other PI indicators, there is no ‘maximum cap’ on baseline and/or target score. Target data may be for either Long Term or 2017.

Other: 'Other' answer must be accepted during validation to achieve a score.

Text Box: The text box is validated, and its validation status is determined based on the requirements of the indicators. Various validation status lead to different scores according to the table below:

This indicator consists of 3 tables, all of which are scored as performance indicator tables. The table section is comprised 50% by the score of the Consumption table, 25% by the score of Withdrawals table and 25% by the score of the Discharged table.

Row scores:

• Consumption table: Row score = 0.2 × Baseline score + 0.5 × Performance score + 0.3 × Target score*

* Baseline & Target scores can only be obtained from Consumption Row and not Evaporation and losses row or Other row (i.e. these rows can only get 0.5 points for performance).

• Withdrawals table: Row score = 0.2 × Baseline score + 0.5 × Performance score + 0.3 × Target score
• Discharged table: Row score = 0.2 × Baseline score + 0.5 × Performance score + 0.3 × Target score

** Note: For Withdrawals and Discharged tables, there is no ‘maximum cap’ on baseline and/or target score.

Other: 'Other' answer must be accepted during validation to achieve a score.

Text Box: The text box is validated, and its validation status is determined based on the requirements of the indicators. Various validation status lead to different scores according to the table below:

This indicator consists of 2 tables, all of which are scored as performance indicator tables. The score for the indicator is the average of the 2 table scores.

For both tables: Row score = 0.2 × Baseline score + 0.5 × Performance score + 0.3 × Target score

Note: For both tables, there is no ‘maximum cap’ on baseline and/or target score.
