It’s on everyone, everywhere.
Measure your climate footprint and take action.
Before any business or individual can reduce their carbon footprint, they must first measure their current footprint. Your carbon footprint is the amount of greenhouse gas you produce in units of carbon dioxide. This footprint is determined by your daily lifestyle and activities, such as travel, electrical use, consumption of products and services, and foods you eat.
Scope 1 covers the Green House Gas (GHG) emissions that a company makes directly, for example while running its vehicles or refrigerants. Scope 2 emissions are indirect, like the purchase of electricity to heat an office building.
Measuring your scope 1 & 2 emissions is the starting point for all carbon footprint reductions. You only need to focus on three main areas: combustion, emissions and energy. Each section can be broken down into several detailed areas, but for most businesses and individuals, this will be primarily limited to your gas and electricity consumption.
We cover scope 3 emissions in our calculators where they fall under operations. Going further is where it gets complicated as it involves emissions that are associated by indirect responsibility up and down your supply chain. Measuring scope 3 emissions isn’t always necessary for smaller companies. It’s much more involving than scope 1 & 2, but does account for around 70% of total emissions so it is worth the effort. We can help you review your entire supply chain and then convert the results of that process into emissions that are equivalent to CO2.
We care about accuracy and have built geo-specific databases for UK SECR, Australian ASRS, and European CSRD to name a few.
GHG Protocol establishes comprehensive global standardized frameworks to measure and manage greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from private and public sector operations, value chains and mitigation actions. GHG Protocol supplies the world’s most widely used greenhouse gas accounting standards.
This GHG Protocol Corporate Standard is a business specific area of focus amongst the broader GHG protocol. It provides standards and guidance for companies and other types of organizations preparing a GHG emissions inventory.
It covers the accounting and reporting of the six greenhouse gases covered by the Kyoto Protocol: carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O), hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), perfluorocarbons (PFCs), and sulphur hexafluoride (SF6).
The standard and guidance were designed with the following objectives in mind:
- To help companies prepare a GHG inventory that represents a true and fair account of their emissions, through the use of standardized approaches and principles
- To simplify and reduce the costs of compiling a GHG inventory
- To provide business with information that can be used to build
an effective strategy to manage and reduce GHG emissions - To provide information that facilitates participation in voluntary and mandatory GHG programs
- To increase consistency and transparency in GHG accounting and reporting among various companies and GHG programs.
