FAQs
What is carbon accounting?
Carbon accounting (also known as Greenhouse Gas Accounting) is a form of measurement that allows companies to measure, analyse and track how many Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions are released into the atmosphere every year.
This is extremely important to both government and corporation net-zero targets because an accurate assessment of the current level is essential to any
With Net Zero emissions becoming an ever more important goal, Carbon Accounting enables businesses to measure their carbon footprint and work towards this goal.
Carbon Accounting can be broken down via direct emissions and indirect emissions, which are classified as either Scope 1, Scope 2 or Scope 3 emissions.
What are the benefits of carbon accounting?
Carbon Accounting is a hugely important part of a company’s approach these days and provides a huge amount of benefits.
- Regulatory Compliance: Ensuring a company is abiding by its climate responsibility and making sure there are no fines or financial penalties
- Competitive advantage: Showing a proactive approach to carbon accounting and reduction is a huge selling point to customers or clients, leading to increased customer loyalty and brand value as well as being very attractive to new customers.
- Cost savings: By identifying areas of high energy consumption and emissions, companies can implement efficient measures leading to lower utility bills and other cost savings.
- Employee production and retention: A strong carbon accountancy and reduction is a huge pull when it comes to both recruiting new employees and retaining existing ones. It can also have an increase in productivity.
- Revenue Growth: Companies that reduce their GHG emissions through carbon accountancy qualify for green certifications that open up new markets or allow them to charge a premium on products.
How does Carbon Accounting Software Work?
Carbon accounting software helps organisations measure, track, and reduce their greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. It simplifies the process of managing carbon footprints through these key steps:
Data Collection
The software gathers activity data from sources such as energy usage, fuel consumption, travel records, and supply chain operations. It can integrate with existing systems like IoT devices and enterprise software to automate data input.Emission Calculations
Using established standards like the GHG Protocol, the software converts activity data into GHG emissions for Scope 1 (direct emissions), Scope 2 (purchased energy), and Scope 3 (indirect emissions across the value chain). Emission factors from recognised databases ensure accuracy.Analysis and Reporting
The platform provides insights into emissions hotspots, enabling users to identify areas for improvement. It generates detailed reports to meet regulatory requirements and sustainability goals.Action Planning
Advanced features may offer tools to model emission reduction strategies, set science-based targets, and track progress toward achieving them.
Carbon accounting software empowers organisations to take control of their environmental impact while ensuring compliance and driving sustainability initiatives.
