posted by  Rebecca Pinto  on 

I would like some clarification on how to calculate recycled content as the v4 Reference Guide is ambiguous, in my opinion. For example, on p.274 of the ID+C ref.

GRI Sustainability Reports

Pilot-Credits MRpc53:Responsible sourcing of raw materials
posted by  Christine Robbins-Elrod  on 

It's unclear where GRI-checked reports fall under the credit requirements - would they be considered self-declared for 1/2 value or third-party verified for full value?

75% steel/concrete threshold

Healthcare-v2009 MRc3:Sustainably sourced materials and products
posted by  Mark Meaders  on 

I am not clear on how this threshold is applied. Is this a cap, meaning, if steel/ concrete is over the 75% then any amount over won't count towards MRc3?
