Corporate Carbon Performance Indicators (Hoffman & Busch, 2008)
• Carbon intensity• Carbon dependency• Carbon exposure• Carbon risk

From: Hoffman and Volkers, 2008, p. 509

Carbon Intensity
• Extent to which a company’s business activities are based on carbon usage for a defined scope and fiscal year.
• =carbon usage /business metric– Business metrics: Unit of production, turnover
(sales), total costs, costs of goods sold, value-added, EBIT (earnings before interest & taxes), market capitalization or equity

Carbon Intensity
• Carbon input intensity: “amount of carbon needed within the production process”– E.g. producing plastic polymers requires
petroleum feedstocks but will not produce carbon emissions
• Carbon output intensity: emission of GHGs (accounting for off-sets)

Carbon Dependency
• How much does the company rely on carbon over time? (Dynamic View)– “change in a company’s physical carbon
performance within a given time period”– Relative performance change from status quo to
predicted carbon intensity

Carbon Exposure
• “A company’s monetary carbon performance; describes monetary implications of the business activities due to carbon usage for a defined scope and year”
=carbon usage (in monetary terms)/business metric

Carbon Risk
• Change in a company’s monetary carbon performance within a given time period; relative performance change from status quo to the predicted carbon exposure
