A Smarter Way to Measure GHG Emissions?

The Winners of the HBR McKinsey Award Explain.

“Accounting for Climate Change,” the first Harvard Business Review (HBR) article written by our co-founders introducing the E-liability accounting method, went on to win the 2022 HBR-McKinsey Award for “groundbreaking management thinking”, which in turn kicked off a series of pilot adoptions of the method by organizations around the world. This McKinsey piece highlights how their winning article proposes a breakthrough approach to measuring greenhouse gas emissions, using foundational cost accounting logic to assign emissions individual products across supply chains.

The first rigorous approach to ESG reporting

by Robert S. Kaplan and Karthik Ramanna

The E-liability accounting system was introduced as the first rigorous approach to ESG reporting in an article co-authored by Professors Robert Kaplan and Karthik Ramanna and published in the Harvard Business Review (HBR). The article provides a detailed method for assigning “E-liabilities” across an entire value chain, and uses the example of a car-door manufacturer to demonstrate how this may work in practice. The article went on to win the 2022 HBR-McKinsey Award for “groundbreaking management thinking,” which in turn kicked off a series of pilot adoptions of the method by organizations around the world.
