We define carbon accounting as the process of measuring a company’s direct and indirect greenhouse gas emissions and removals, calculated as carbon dioxide equivalents (CO2e).
However, carbon accounting differs from carbon footprinting; it’s the process of continuously scrutinising your emissions and embedding carbon into your company’s decisions.
Carbon accounting quantifies the impact of an organisation’s business activities – measuring its climate impact.
A corporate carbon footprint is the total amount of greenhouse gas emissions your company emits into the atmosphere. By collecting data on the economic value of goods and services purchased and multiplying it by the relevant secondary emission factors, we can calculate your corporate carbon footprint.
