Inability to benchmark
Lack of internal audit of activity

8. Issues for Discussion Are the indicators right
Methodology for measurement
What do we want to achieve
Consistent data collection or through to central data collection?
Comparators for Improvement
What do we want to compare, organisations, our own improvement, similar sites or other?
m2, FTE, against baseline, annual change
Do we need a pilot to test the most suitable comparator?
Carbon baseline recommendations:
1990; 2008 – CRC, other
Data availability
Targets to adopt
CO transitional
