What is Carbon Accounting?
Carbon accounting is the process of measuring and reporting an organization’s greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions to understand its environmental impact.
Why should we measure our Emissions?
Measuring emissions is important to help companies understand their environmental impact. It is the first step to setting environmental targets, tracking progress, and managing risk as it relates to climate change. Increasingly, governments, stakeholders, and customers expect companies to act environmentally responsible. Measuring emissions is important both for regulatory compliance and competitive advantage.
What are Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions?
- Scope 1: Direct emissions from owned or controlled sources (e.g., company vehicles)
- Scope 2: Indirect emissions from purchased energy (e.g., electricity)
- Scope 3: Other indirect emissions from the value chain (e.g., supplier activities, employee travel).
Do I need to measure all three scopes?
It depends on your goals and requirements. Many SMEs start with Scope 1 and 2 before addressing Scope 3, as it involves more complex data gathering.
