Carbon Accounting Services

Carbon is a hot topic these days. More and more organizations are adopting goals that involve decarbonizing, and investors, customers and regulatory bodies are pushing for greater transparency regarding environmental impacts. Carbon accounting, also known as greenhouse gas (GHG) accounting, is not only a tool to meet these demands but also a critical factor for staying competitive in a marketplace that values sustainability.

Carbon accounting is the process of tracking and reporting your company’s GHG emissions in annual tons of equivalent carbon. By identifying where your emissions come from and how to reduce them, you can comply with emerging regulations and also unlock new opportunities for improving operational efficiency, cost savings and brand reputation.

For manufacturing and business owners, this means mapping out your carbon footprint through Scope 1, Scope 2 and, where possible, Scope 3 emissions. Scope 1 emissions are the direct emissions from sources you own or control, such as on-site fuel combustion. Scope 2 emissions are indirect emissions from the energy you purchase and use, like electricity or steam. Scope 3 emissions encompass the wider supply chain, including emissions from materials you purchase, business travel, upstream and downstream logistics, etc. While more complex, Scope 3 emissions are important to understand for comprehensive carbon accounting.
