GHG Intensities of Companies

I made this table today for my report.  The total GHG is the combined Scope 1, 2, and 3 for each company.  All of them reported the Scope 1 and 2 for 2013, but I had to estimate the Scope 3 for Exxon Mobil, Target, and TJX.  Which carbon metric should be used?  Well, if we are comparing between companies in the same sector, it doesn't seem to matter.  Exxon Mobil is always worse than Chevron, Target is always worse than TJX, and Google is always better than Microsoft.  So what does this mean?  Well, I'm not exactly sure.  

GHG/revenue (lbs/$) GHG/marketcap GHG/enterprise value GHG/profit
Exxon Mobil Exxon Mobil Exxon Mobil Exxon Mobil
Dow Chemical Dow Chemical Chevron Dow Chemical Company
Chevron Chevron Dow Chemical Company Chevron
Target Target Target Target
Microsoft TJX Companies Inc. TJX Companies Inc. TJX Companies Inc.
TJX Companies Microsoft Microsoft Microsoft
Google Google Google Google
