Your emissions intensity shows how efficiently your company operates from a carbon perspective. It's calculated as total emissions divided by annual revenue, expressed as tCO2e per £ million of revenue (tCO2e/£M).
Intensity is more meaningful than total emissions because it accounts for company size. Two companies with different revenues but the same intensity are performing equally well on a per-unit-of-economic-output basis — making fair comparison across suppliers of different sizes possible.
Green Project compares your intensity to your industry sector and company size, showing your current position, the industry average, and the top performers (companies at the 25th percentile).
A lower intensity is better. If your intensity is below the industry average, you're outperforming your peers; at the average, you're in line with the sector; above it, there's room to improve.
Your intensity can improve through emissions reduction or revenue growth, though emissions reduction is the primary sustainability goal.
