CDSB announces Climate Change Reporting Framework - Edition 1.1 October 2012
What has changed?
Edition 1.1 October 2012 of the Climate Change Reporting Framework reflects updates to some of the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB)'s pronouncements and standards and incorporates changes to paragraphs 4.22 - 4.27 that are designed to clarify CDSB's approach to organisational boundary setting and to support the long standing practices that have been established through widespread adoption of the GHG Protocol.
As part of a process of continuous improvement, CDSB will build upon and update the Climate Change Reporting Framework over time in light of experience of working with it and in response to developments in Climate Change disclosure practices globally. The Basis for Conclusions at Appendix 1 to the Climate Change Reporting Framework - Edition 1.1 October 2012 pertains to conclusions reached in relation to version 1.0 September 2010.

CDSB announces update to the Climate Change Reporting Framework 1.0
What has changed?
From now on, greenhouse gas emissions from associates should not be included in the Scope 1 or 2 results for entities within the financial control organizational boundary.
The effect of the update is to delete “line 3” from the Table entitled “Part 1 GHG emissions (Scope 1 and 2) in paragraph 4.24 of the CCRF, as shown below:
Why was the Framework changed?
The rationale is that, whereas subsidiaries fall under the control of parent companies for financial reporting purposes and joint ventures fall under the joint control of the group and its fellow venturers, associates are not under the control of the parent and therefore fall outside the definition of financial control in the Greenhouse Gas Protocol.
Full details of the update can be found here.
