Carbon Footprint Calculation and Reporting

Assessing, monitoring and reporting the environmental performance of companies is one of the cornerstones of sustainability efforts. In this context, the ISO 14064 standard and the Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Protocol provide a framework for companies to calculate and report their greenhouse gas emissions. As Greenlife Consultancy, we provide corporate carbon footprint calculation and reporting services to companies within the scope of these standards.

In line with these standards, it is critical to determine the reporting boundaries and methodology for companies to accurately calculate their greenhouse gas emissions. With our expert team, we accurately determine the reporting boundaries of companies and perform emission calculations. Accordingly, we offer customized solutions according to the specific needs of companies and sectoral differences.

The studies support companies to create a carbon management system and set their sustainability targets. With the analyses, we determine the strategies of companies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and contribute to the structuring of targets. In this way, companies have the opportunity to increase their operational efficiency while minimizing their environmental impact.

Corporate Carbon Footprint is the sum of direct and indirect greenhouse gas emissions caused by a company or legal entity as a result of all its activities for 1 year. This important unit of measurement is expressed in tons of CO2 equivalent. Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions, calculated within the framework of the Greenhouse Gas Protocol and ISO 14064 standards, refer to greenhouse gas emissions resulting from a company’s activities.

The following steps are followed when calculating the Corporate Carbon Footprint:

• Boundary Setting: It is important to determine the system boundaries. There are three scopes: Scope 1 (Direct carbon footprint), Scope 2 (Indirect carbon footprint) and Scope 3 (Other indirect carbon footprint).

• Training: For the calculation process to be successful, it is crucial that the relevant personnel are technically competent. For this reason, we help companies increase their level of knowledge by providing the necessary technical trainings to their employees. The trainings provided by our expert trainers cover topics such as emission calculation methodologies, data collection techniques and reporting standards.

• Data Collection: The necessary data of the company is collected through the prepared data templates. Greenlife Consultancy team provides the necessary support in this process.

• Calculation: After the data is collected, calculations are made using appropriate reference emission factors. Thanks to its access to global and sectoral databases, Greenlife Consultancy can calculate all emissions within the scope of the Greenhouse Gas Protocol and ISO 14064 standards.

• Reporting: Following the calculations, emission values are evaluated in more detail and the results are reported.

• Verification: The calculation can optionally be subject to verification by independent third parties to be determined by the company. Throughout the process, Greenlife Consultancy is always ready to provide support to ensure impartiality.

With our expertise and experience in sustainability, we are proud to assist companies improve their environmental performance and gain competitive advantage.
