FEM: Targets & Baselines
- Why can't we choose 2017 as the baseline year for GHG emissions in the Energy section? Many brands have set SBT (Science Based Target) and some of them set the 2017 as baseline year and we need to align the target with the brands.
- Petrol/gasoline is not included among our facility's energy sources for production, but it is among the sources for company owned and controlled vehicles. Why then does petrol not appear on Q9 to indicate a baseline set?
- How do I set baselines and when do I need to change my baseline year?
- What do I need to know about data normalization?
- What is a baseline?
- I want to set 2023 as my baseline year for energy targets in FEM 2023 but portal does not having option to set 2023
- Considering the new 5-year baseline requirement for the 2023 FEM, should we change/update the baseline every year?
- Can we use other units like "SMV" for target setting if we report our production volume in "pieces"?
- If we update our baselines based on the number of updates on the FEM version 4.0, should our targets and objectives also be adjusted?
- As FEM 4.0 has so many updates should we re-baseline?
- Why has the baseline now been limited to just five years?
- Would the new data input in 2023 function as the new baseline moving forward?
- Would we have a problem if our SBTi targets are set as absolute while our Higg FEM targets are set as normalized?
- In establishing/setting baseline year, are there any constraints we should consider?
- Should the target year be more than 3 years forward from the reporting year?
- Considering the new 5 year baseline requirement for the 2023 FEM, would 2018 be the maximum baseline year this year? Will the baseline need to be changed to 2019 for FEM 2024?
- Given that we didn't set up baselines or targets for domestic and production separately for 2023, what should we do to meet the requirements for next April 2024?
- Could the baseline for an energy source for domestic use include another option 'per manhour,' and the Baseline for production use include the option 'per SAM'? It is the same for the target question.
- On previous FEMs, we set baselines for the entire entity, not differentiating between facility types. Can we establish the same baseline for in-house laundry and garment assembly facilities?
- Is normalization compulsory for establishing target baselines?
- We cannot find our baseline year (2017) for selection. Can we change the baseline to a year available among the options?
