Why I‑RECs have become central to credible Scope 2 reporting—and how they turn renewable electricity claims into verifiable evidence.

As organisations accelerate their decarbonisation efforts, renewable electricity claims have become a central pillar of how progress is measured, communicated, and validated. To translate these claims into credible, verifiable outcomes, organisations require scalable and trusted mechanisms that move beyond commitments to evidence, enabling confident reporting in an increasingly complex and data-driven environment.

The Business Case for I-RECs sets out how International Renewable Energy Certificates (I-RECs) not only address the inherent traceability challenges of grid-based electricity, but also provide a globally consistent framework to verify renewable energy claims and support Scope 2 reporting. Beyond this, the report highlights the strategic role of I-RECs in enabling supply chain decarbonisation, strengthening procurement credibility, and supporting the development of renewable energy markets.

Are you interested in learning more about why I-RECs have become a widely used mechanism for Scope 2 reporting, and how they can help turn your renewable energy commitments into measurable, verifiable claims?
