In a world confronting climate change head-on, carbon footprint calculation is no longer
optional-it’s a crucial responsibility for every business. A carbon footprint refers to the total
greenhouse gas emissions (primarily CO₂, CH₄, N₂O) caused by an individual, product, service, or
organization, expressed in CO₂-equivalent units.
These emissions are categorized into three scopes:
Scope 1: Direct emissions from owned or controlled sources (e.g., fuel combustion).
Scope 2: Indirect emissions from purchased electricity, heat, or cooling.
Scope 3: All other indirect emissions across the value chain (e.g., transport, waste, supplier emissions, business travel).
By accurately measuring emissions across all scopes, companies can understand the environmental
impact of their operations-and identify real opportunities to reduce it. This process helps in
meeting ESG goals, aligning with science-based targets (SBTs), preparing for carbon tax or
compliance obligations, and improving brand credibility with climate-conscious customers and
investors.
At Greenex Environmental, we assist organizations in conducting thorough, ISO-compliant carbon footprint assessments. Our approach includes data collection, emission factor analysis, lifecycle-based evaluation, and tailored reduction roadmaps. From SMEs to large enterprises, we help you transition from awareness to measurable impact-through ecarbonization strategies, offset mechanisms, and continuous tracking.
