</details>

<details>

<summary><strong>Input</strong>: How do I complete this indicator?</summary>

Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3 GHG emissions reported in indicator 1 are used to calculate the entity’s carbon footprint.

**Calculated field:** The carbon footprint is calculated based on the total greenhouse gas emissions and GAV of the entity. The calculated value will appear on the SFDR report of the entity.

**Explanation (optional):** Provide context to the answer that was provided. This helps investors gain an understanding of the methodologies and assumptions used.

**Action taken (optional):** Give context to the answer that was provided to explain any action that may have been taken within the last year, as well as any actions planned or targets set for the next reference period.

### Terminology

**Carbon footprint**

> Total greenhouse gas emissions (Scope 1, 2 and 3) divided by the GAV of the asset.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://guides.gresb.com/sfdr-reporting-solution/2026-sfdr-asset-assessment/table-1-climate-and-other-environment-related-indicators/indicator-2-carbon-footprint.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
