A greenhouse gas inventory or a carbon footprint report quantifies the total amount of greenhouse gas emissions that a company makes into the atmosphere. These greenhouse gases include all 7 gases under the kyoto protocol. Carbon footprint report is a critical management tool for all types of companies who want to work towards climate change mitigation. We are sustainability report consultants as well as carbon footprint consultant who develop carbon footprint report as well as sustainability report for corporations in India.

The information that is included in a greenhouse inventory helps companies to set strategies and priorities action towards reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. This also acts as a benchmark based on which future performance of these companies can be measured. In general, the corporate greenhouse gas inventory does not feed into the national greenhouse gas inventory. This is so because a corporate can have operations in one country or multiple countries and therefore aggregating them for one nation or one region may not be possible.

So what do we include in the Carbon footprint of a company ...
... as a carbon footprint consultant? In general, we suggest our clients to follow the GHG protocol when developing their carbon footprint report. We support our clients in identifying emissions sources then we also assist them in collecting the data required for collecting emissions and if required we also develop a carbon footprint tool for them which they can use for estimating carbon footprint. Being a carbon footprint consultant and experts in this field we always segregate the greenhouse gas emissions in 3 different scopes as discussed in GHG protocol.

The 3 scopes mentioned in GHG protocol include scope 1 which are the direct emissions from their organizations for which carbon footprint report is being developed. Scope 2 emissions include all the emissions that come from electricity or heat or steam. Scope 3 include all other indirect emissions such as emissions from waste disposal, emissions from leased services vehicles and activities.

The greenhouse gas protocol is globally accepted standards for developing carbon footprint reports for organizations. Similarly, there is an ISO standard 14060-1 that also talks about and provides guidelines on developing carbon footprint. Most of the companies across the globe report their carbon footprint based on GHG protocol. Being one of the leading carbon footprint consultants in the region, we have developed several carbon footprint reports based on GHG protocol.

As a sustainability reporting consultant, we have also included carbon footprint within sustainability reports.
