The Aii Energy & Carbon Benchmark may be used by facilities and brands as an indicative performance reference to support internal reporting, supplier engagement, and improvement planning.

Benchmark results should be used with caution and appropriate context. The Benchmark will continue to evolve as additional primary data becomes available and methodological updates are reviewed through the Benchmark governance process. As a result, benchmark values and performance outputs may change in future versions.

Benchmark results should not be presented as a certification, final rating, or permanent performance classification. Public communications or external reporting should avoid unsupported comparative claims between facilities or brands and should clearly acknowledge that Benchmark values may change in future versions.
