# Criterion B.10 - Continuous improvement approach

Achieving the reduction targets that have been set requires tracking the evolution of GHG emissions over time. However, a climate strategy cannot be reduced to a temporal forecast of declining emissions. It must be structured around a continuous improvement approach that itself relies on a multitude of actions and initiatives ensuring the proper implementation of greenhouse gas accounting, the adoption by all of the will to reduce emissions, and the identification of corrections to be made where necessary.

Thus, candidate tools seeking to claim conformity with the Bilan Carbone® method will be expected to contribute to this genuine operational management of the climate strategy by seeking, among other things, to improve data collection, reduce uncertainties in activity data and emission factors, establish relevant indicators for monitoring the implementation of actions, identify means of improving/correcting the implementation of said actions, revise reduction targets where necessary, progressively raise awareness among all internal and external stakeholders, etc.
