Carbon Footprint Calculation (CO2eq)
Get to Know and Reduce Your Company's Carbon Footprint with us!
Global warming, triggered by Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions, generates increasingly adverse impacts: loss of biodiversity, extreme weather events such as heatwaves and floods, forest fires, deterioration of air quality, inefficiencies in agricultural production, and negative consequences for human health and other animal species.
During the decade of 2011-2020, there was a significant increase in global average temperatures, making it the warmest on record. According to data from the World Meteorological Organization released in 2022, it is projected that the planet’s average annual temperature will increase by 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels in the next five years.
Reducing GHG emissions requires a prior understanding of the impact generated at a given time – that is, the assessment of the environmental footprint – and the identification of improvement opportunities.
What is Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions Calculation?
It involves evaluating GHG emissions resulting from the activities of a company or organization.
It's time to calculate!
Work with us to develop a project to assess the emissions of Greenhouse Gases (GHG) from your company, following internationally recognized standards such as the Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Protocol and ISO 14064-1.
The GHG Protocol, a joint initiative of the WRI (World Resources Institute) and the WBCSD (World Business Council for Sustainable Development), along with ISO 14064-1 standard, are the main international standards for calculating and managing GHG emissions from organizations.
According to these standards, emissions are categorized into three major groups, depending on their origin:
SCOPE 1
Emissions from operations that are owned or controlled by the company.
SCOPE 2
Emissions associated with the production of electricity, steam, heating, or cooling, acquired and consumed by the company.
SCOPE 3
Indirect emissions (not included in Scope 2) that occur along the company’s value chain, including upstream and downstream emissions.
We are ready to help you understand and manage your GHG emissions effectively and responsibly. Let’s start together!
Reasons to Calculate Your Company's Carbon Footprint
Environmental Awareness
It allows companies to understand the impact of their activities on the environment, promoting greater awareness of the urgency of climate change and the need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
Corporate Responsibility
Demonstrates the company’s commitment to sustainability and environmental responsibility, strengthening its reputation with customers, investors, and the community at large.
Cost Reduction
Identifies opportunities to improve energy efficiency and reduce waste, resulting in long-term financial savings through reduced energy and material consumption.
Compliance with Regulations
In many countries, companies are legally required to report their greenhouse gas emissions and implement measures to reduce them. Calculating the carbon footprint helps companies comply with these regulations and avoid potential penalties.
Competitive Advantage
Companies that adopt sustainable practices and demonstrate commitment to emission reduction are better positioned to attract customers, business partners, and talent, as well as stand out in bids and public tenders.
Risk Management
Identifies risks associated with climate change and evolving environmental regulations, allowing companies to develop strategies to mitigate these risks and adapt to a changing business environment.
Discover How to Calculate Your Company's Carbon Footprint
Data Collection
We gather detailed information about your company’s activities and processes, including energy consumption, transportation, waste management, and other sources of greenhouse gas emissions (GHG).
Emission Source Identification
We analyze the collected data to identify the main sources of GHG emissions in your operation. This includes direct emissions (Scope 1), indirect emissions associated with purchased electricity and energy (Scope 2), and indirect emissions along the company’s value chain (Scope 3).
Emission Calculation
Using internationally recognized methodologies such as the Greenhouse Gas Protocol and ISO 14064-1 standard, we calculate GHG emissions associated with each identified source.
Analysis and Reporting
We present the calculation results in a clear and understandable manner, highlighting areas of significant impact and opportunities for emission reduction.
Development of Reduction Strategies
Based on the analysis results, we collaborate with your team to develop and implement effective strategies to reduce GHG emissions, improve energy efficiency, and promote sustainable practices throughout the company.
Monitoring and Tracking
We establish continuous monitoring systems to track progress over time and adjust strategies as needed to ensure that your company achieves its carbon reduction goals.
We are committed to helping your company measure, manage, and reduce its carbon footprint effectively and sustainably. Contact us to learn more about our environmental consulting services and how we can support your sustainability efforts.
