The current version of the Aii Carbon & Energy Benchmark is preliminary and subject to further validation. During the pilot phase (October 2025 – January 2026), Aii and its contributors are testing the methodology, refining energy and emissions calculations, and verifying assumptions to strengthen data accuracy.

During this period, benchmark results are intended solely for testing, feedback, and learning. They should not be used for public disclosure, external reporting (e.g., impact reports or sustainability communications), or comparative claims between facilities or brands. Final benchmark figures and performance indicators will be released after the pilot phase, following public consultation and review in early 2026.
