Business Environment Council Limited reported 54% of the adjusted total. Mycelium estimated the remaining 46% for the categories it did not disclose. Business Environment Council Limited reported a Scope 3 total of 4 tCO₂e but did not break it down into the 15 categories. The model of the categories it did not report comes to more than that, so the adjusted total counts the model, with the reported figure inside it.

Snapshot
Based on reported data, retrieved with AI
- Business Environment Council Limited reported 153 tCO₂e in 2022.
- Scope 3 accounted for 2% of reported emissions.
- Scope 2 reported under the location based methodology.
According to available emissions disclosures, Business Environment Council Limited reported total yearly emissions of 153 tCO₂e in 2022. Scope 2 emissions accounted for 98% of the reported footprint, indicating purchased energy was the most significant contributor to its carbon footprint.
The company does not have a Mycelium Score for 2022, because there is no revenue figure on file to measure its carbon intensity.

Wider value chain emissions across the 15 GHG Protocol categories, from purchased goods and business travel to investments, where reported.
Business Environment Council Limited reported a Scope 3 total of 4 tCO₂e but did not break it down into the 15 categories. Mycelium's model of the categories it did not report comes to more than that, so the estimates below replace it in the adjusted total, with the reported figure counted inside them. The reported figure is not discarded, and you can see it in the downloads below.

tCO2e3 values were derived via Mycelium's normalisation process rather than reported by the company. The company's own Scope 3 total is reported, it was simply filed as a single figure with no category split. A cell marked “ESTIMATED” is a figure the company did not disclose, modelled by Mycelium. Cells marked “–” were not disclosed, and Mycelium can't model them without a revenue figure for Business Environment Council Limited, which it doesn't have yet.

How scoring works
How the Mycelium Score is calculated
The Mycelium Score is out of 10. Up to 6.5 points reflect carbon intensity vs peers in the same NACE section (emissions normalised against revenue, log-scaled between the 5th and 95th percentile of each company's latest reporting year in that section; a section needs at least 5 companies to be benchmarked). The band above 6.5 is earned through verified data quality on a claimed profile: declaring every reporting category yourself (up to 2.0), preparation by a carbon accountant (2.0) and independently audited figures (2.0). The total is multiplied by the transparency score and capped at 10. A disclosure with an implausibly large figure (Scope 1 or 2 over 300 million tonnes, a Scope 3 figure over 2 billion tonnes or a total over 2.5 billion tonnes) is not scored until it has been checked.
A higher score means lower carbon intensity than sector peers, backed by data that's third-party verified, claimed by the company, and fully disclosed. Without a revenue figure to measure carbon intensity, or an industry classification to compare it within, a company has no score.
How the Transparency Score is calculated
The Transparency Score is the share of a company's estimated footprint that it reported itself, graded from A (very high) down to F (very low). Where a category is missing, Mycelium models what it would hold for a company of that size and industry and counts it as undisclosed, so an unreported category where the bulk of emissions sit hurts far more than a minor one. Unreported downstream categories (9 to 15) count at a quarter of their modelled size in this share; the carbon intensity behind the score still counts them in full. A Scope 3 total filed without a category breakdown earns very little credit for the part left unattributed, because it does not show which categories are inside it: a company can count business travel, leave purchased goods out entirely, and the total looks the same. Without a revenue figure the footprint cannot be modelled, so the company has no Transparency Score.
For Business Environment Council Limited, the single biggest gap is Business travel (Scope 3 Category 6). Mycelium estimates it accounts for around 38% of the company's estimated footprint, yet it hasn't been disclosed. Leaving a bucket this large unreported is what's holding the transparency score down.
Other material categories Business Environment Council Limited hasn't disclosed:
- Employee commuting (Scope 3 Category 7), around 9% of the estimated footprint
In total, roughly 47% of Business Environment Council Limited's estimated emissions sit in categories it hasn't reported. Disclosing these would be the fastest way to raise the transparency score.
