organisational boundary

French translation: au sein du projet ou de l'organisation

English term or phrase: organisational boundary
Bonjour,

J'ai un doute sur le terme "organisational boundary", je pensais à "au sein des limites organisationnelles".

As a last resort, offset residual embodied carbon emissions within the project or organisational boundary where possible or if necessary through verified offset schemes.

en dernier recours, compenser si possible les émissions de carbone résiduel incarné dans le projet ou au sein des limites organisationnelles ou, si nécessaire, au moyen de mécanismes de compensation vérifiés.

Merci :)

frontières organisationnelles


Explanation:
Same as this example below :

The indirect impacts of upstream activities refer to the use of materials, energy and emissions associated with goods/services sourced from upstream of the Organisational boundary in support of producing the Product Portfolio.


Les impacts indirects des activités en amont se rapportent à l'utilisation de matières et d'énergie et aux émissions qui sont associées aux biens et/services obtenus en amont des frontières organisationnelles aux fins de la production du portefeuille de produits.

Example sentence(s):
  • The indirect impacts of upstream activities refer to the use of materials, energy and emissions associated with goods/services sourced from upstream of the Organisational boundary in support of producing the Product Portfolio.
  • Les impacts indirects des activités en amont se rapportent à l'utilisation de matières et d'énergie et aux émissions qui sont associées aux biens et/services obtenus en amont des frontières organisationnelles aux fins de la production du portefeuil

disagree  Daryo: even in EN it's not the best choice, but the literal translation in French won't work for that meaning of "organisational" // "organisationel" => comment les choses sont organisées

agree  Daryo: in fact even in the ST "organisational" is not exactly the best choice of words - the first two meanings are related to "how things are organised" and only the 3rd meaning relates to "organisation=legal entity"
