Work out a food maker's electricity emissions for the annual report, both ways, with a site sold and a site bought during the year. Then stop marketing overclaiming renewable power, and restate the figure honestly when the certificates come in short.
Read the full brief
You are a sustainability reporting analyst at a food manufacturer whose emissions figures are being checked by an outside assurance provider for the first time. Sixty months of meter data cover five sites, but one was sold in December and one bought in February, a dairy switched to a renewable tariff half way through the year, and two months at another site are estimates. You calculate location-based and market-based Scope 2, draft the disclosure and answer a marketing director who wants to say net zero electricity, then deal with a certificate statement that covers less than the tariff promised. Automated checks confirm your figures and saved work; your judgement is reviewed against the standard for the role.
What is Corvane Foods?
Corvane Foods is a fictional maker of chilled and baked food with about 1,900 staff. In the year to 31 March 2026 it ran five sites, sold one and bought another. Its Scope 2 emissions are being assured by an outside provider for the first time. This case runs in November 2026. The analyst calculates and drafts under the methodology; the head of sustainability approves figures, marketing approves its own claims, and the general counsel approves any net zero claim.
Who do you play?
You are the sustainability reporting analyst in the Sustainability team.
You calculate emissions under the approved methodology and draft the annual report disclosure. Imogen Clarke approves figures and any change after the assurance provider has seen them. Leila Haddad approves marketing claims after Imogen confirms the evidence; the general counsel approves any carbon neutral or net zero claim. You do not restate earlier years without Imogen's agreement.
These coworkers are fictional. They may make mistakes, so compare their suggestions with the evidence.
