Scope 2 emissions

Indirect emissions resulting from purchased electricity, heating, and cooling.

Scope 3 emissions

Emissions generated throughout the supply chain, transportation, waste, business travel, and product lifecycle.

A reliable carbon footprint provides a clear picture of your organization’s environmental impact. Follow these three stages to build an accurate baseline.

Gather the Data

Identify and validate emissions data from across the organization.

Calculate Emissions

Convert operational information into measurable carbon impacts.

Create a Baseline

Establish a clear starting point for reporting, compliance, and future improvements.
