| definition | "defined scope, limits, and criteria used to determine what is included or excluded in an evaluation, analysis, or measurement of environmental impacts, sustainability performance, or related objectives" |
| explanatoryNote | "The assessment boundary ensures consistency, transparency, and focus by specifying the parameters for the evaluation. It includes: (1) the scope of assessment, (2) the relevant spacial boundaries, (3) the time period(s) over which the assessment is to be conducted, (4) organizational boundaries - which parts of an organization or project are included in the evaluation, (5) impact categories - which environmental or sustainability impacts are included, (6) lifecycle boundaries - which stages of the lifecycle are included, (7) exclusions - specific elements, processes, or impacts that are excluded from the assessment and justification for these exclusions, and (8) stakeholder boundaries - the extent to which external stakeholders or externalities (e.g., indirect social impacts) are considered.\n\t\t\n\t\t- The scope statement specifies which aspects, activities, processes, or entities are included in the evaluation. For example, in a greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions assessment, the boundary might cover Scope 1 (direct emissions), Scope 2 (indirect emissions from energy use), and Scope 3 (upstream and downstream emissions in the value chain).\n\t\t\n\t\t- The spatial boundaries cover the geographic region(s) relevant for the assessment, including but not limited to a specific site, facility, region, or global operations of a company or project.\n\t\t\n\t\t- The relevant timeframe may be a single year, the entire lifecycle of a product, or a specific project phase.\n\t\t\n\t\t- Organizational boundaries may include a parent company, subsidiaries, joint ventures, or specific divisions based on control, ownership, or influence.\n\t\t\n\t\t- Impact may include carbon emissions, energy use, water consumption, biodiversity impact, and waste generation.\n\t\t\n\t\t- Lifecycle boundaries may cover product or process evaluations (e.g., Life Cycle Assessment or LCA). If so, the boundary defines which stages of the lifecycle are included: Cradle-to-Grave: Includes all stages, from raw material extraction to disposal, Cradle-to-Gate: Covers stages up to the point where the product leaves the manufacturing facility. or Gate-to-Gate: Focuses on a specific segment of the lifecycle, such as manufacturing processes, for example.\n\t\t\n\t\t- Small, immaterial emissions sources might be excluded if their impact is negligible.\n\t\t\n\t\t- Stakeholder boundaries with respect to a given sustainability evaluation might include impacts on local communities or supply chain partners." |
