Corporate carbon footprint
An Accurate Assessment to Address the Climate Emergency
To comply with the Paris Agreement (limiting global warming to 1.5°C), reducing our greenhouse gas emissions (CO2, methane, nitrous oxide) is a priority. But to reduce them effectively, we must first measure them.
Rigorous measurement tailored to your needs
We are experts in the major standards to ensure reliable and enforceable results: Bilan Carbone® (ABC), GHG Protocol (international standard), or ISO 14064.
A comprehensive view across 3 levels (Scopes)
- Scope 1 & 2: Your direct emissions (energy, fuel) and indirect emissions related to energy.
- Scope 3: Your indirect emissions related to your value chain (purchasing, transportation, end-of-life). This is often where your greatest opportunities for action lie.
Key benefits:
- Prioritize: Identify the areas with the highest emissions to target your investments.
- Anticipate: Reduce your dependence on fossil fuels and carbon taxes.
- Comply: Meet regulatory requirements (BEGES, CSRD depending on your size).
- Add value: Meet the expectations of your customers and investors.
