Data governance and
climate-related reporting
We are committed to the highest standards of
data integrity and continually seek to elevate
its rigor. In 2021, we implemented the following
improvements to our data governance:
» Developed and enhanced our data governance
methodologies for environmental metrics;
»
>>>
Operationalized the use of an environmental
management system that has become our single
source of truth for all climate data; and
Improved the way we collect, store and transmit
our sustainability data by leveraging a digital
platform that centralizes and streamlines our
reporting efforts and mitigates data
integrity risk.
We verify data quality and performance on an
ongoing basis, and we annually engage third-
party verifiers to review our GHG inventory.
For more information, see Moody's Environmental
Assurance Statement in our 2021 TCFD Report.
1 Our 2019 and 2020 GHG emissions were retroactively recalculated due to improved access
to vendor spend data and M&A activity. Consequently, our science-based targets for reducing
our GHG emissions were re-submitted to the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTI) and
coverage was re-validated.
² Business travel and employee commuting emissions were restated to include well-to-wheel
emissions to ensure alignment to the SBTI Target Validation Protocol and Transport Guidance.View entire presentation
