Allocation Greenhouse Gas Mitigation Outcomes
A white paper from SustainCERT, Cargill, and Soil Capital on addressing allocation challenges in agricultural supply chains for credible Scope 3 GHG accounting.
Why download this publication?
As companies accelerate climate mitigation, a critical technical barrier is the allocation of greenhouse gas mitigation outcomes when supply sheds generate multiple crops, co-products, or rotational practices. Without clear solutions, mitigation claims risk inconsistency, inaccuracy, or double counting.
This white paper provides technically rigorous yet practical guidance to help organizations:
- Understand the challenges of allocating climate mitigation outcomes in multi-crop, co-product, and crop rotation systems.
- Explore potential solutions that balance fairness, feasibility, and environmental integrity.
- Learn how different allocation approaches align with existing frameworks such as the GHG Protocol and SBTi guidance.
- Review case examples illustrating allocation in practice and the trade-offs between methodological rigor and scalability.
- Identify areas where further collaboration and guidance are needed to strengthen credible Scope 3 claims.
