Abstract:	Concerns about anthropogenic climate-change have led groups such as the Science-Based Targets Initiative to advocate for industry-specific emission reductions paths. Accordingly, many multinational firms have pledged achievement of net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by some target date, usually 2050. Such pledges, however, lack credibility without accurate and verifiable measurement of a company’s controllable carbon footprint.
