Carbon Footprint
(ISO 14064, GHG)
Carbon footprinting and reporting is one of the key processes that enables organisations to understand their environmental impact, develop strategies to reduce emissions and meet global sustainability goals.
Carbon footprint refers to the total amount of greenhouse gases (GHG) emitted directly and indirectly into the atmosphere by an individual, organisation or product.
As Greenlife Consulting, we calculate and report your company's carbon footprint within the framework of the ISO 14064 standard or the GHG Protocol requirements.
The carbon footprint calculation process also helps organisations to define their sustainability policies, improve energy efficiency efforts and develop emission reduction strategies.

Carbon Footprint Calculation and Reporting Process
1. Current Situation Analysis
The first step is to analyse the company's activities. By identifying the sources of greenhouse gas emissions, organisational and operational limits are set according to TS EN ISO 14064-1/GHG Protocol standards.
2. Data Collection
With the data request templates we have prepared as Greenlife Consulting, the data required for the calculation is requested from the institution. Greenlife team provides all necessary support for the supply and transfer of data to the data request template.
3. Calculation of Carbon Emissions
After the collection of the data, our expert team calculates the carbon footprint in accordance with TS EN ISO 14064-1 Standard or GHG Protocol according to the customer request.
4. Evaluation and Reporting
After the carbon footprint calculations are completed, the results of the carbon footprint calculation are reported by our expert team in accordance with the standard in which the calculation is made.
5. Verification
The calculation can be verified by independent third parties at the company's option. Throughout the process, the Greenlife team will be at your side to help resolve any issues and provide support.
What are the Advantages of Calculating Carbon Footprint?
These reports comply with the standard for which the calculation is made;
CDP (Carbon Disclosure Project) reporting
CBAM (Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism) compliance procedure
Sustainability reports (reporting according to standards such as GRI, CSRD, TCFD, TNFD)
It assists organisations with sustainability by supporting compliance with various national and international regulations, in particular carbon trading and sustainable finance requirements.
As Greenlife Consulting, we offer comprehensive solutions for companies' carbon footprint calculation, reporting and emission reduction strategies. With our methodology based on the TS EN ISO 14064-1 standard, we help your company to take strong and reliable steps on its sustainability journey.
