Then stop marketing overclaiming renewable power, and restate the figure honestly when the certificates come in short. ## 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?
