There are not "correct" answers to many of the dilemnas you will soon find in terms of what to say is your footprint. Every organisation will have a unique footrpint. Provided you can make the boundaries clear, and why you chose them, you are fine. You can make changes to organisational boundary and scope, but this makes self-assessment more difficult.

Carbon Club Members can now go to the database and answer questions on boundaries

	You will next start to measure all those direct and indirect emissions identified in your scoping within your boundaries. This will determine your organisation's CARBON FOOTPRINT
	Look at roles
