Why is a carbon footprint important for every company?
The ESG regulatory framework is evolving: regulations such as the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) require companies to disclose their greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Compliance is not only a legal requirement for a growing number of companies but is also in line with global efforts to monitor and reduce GHG emissions.
The CCF is part of legal due diligence requirements
Climate key figures ensure the future viability of companies
Climate change is reshaping the global economy. To adapt to changing market dynamics and remain profitable over the long term, companies need to understand their carbon emissions, identify risks and develop strategies. This is the only way for companies to thrive in the upcoming low-carbon economy.
Data and transparency in the supply chain are of interest to stakeholders
Various stakeholders – business partners, investors, regulators and the general public – are increasingly interested in companies’ greenhouse gas emissions. This reflects the growing influence of environmental issues in decision making. To provide this data, companies must not only report their direct emissions, but also include their entire supply chain through Scope 3 calculations. Taking responsibility for the environment is a shared responsibility and requires a transparent exchange of data between all parties involved.
The CCF is the basis for corporate climate management
Our solution is based on the Greenhouse Gas Protocol Standard and enables comprehensive accounting and full transparency across all emission scopes.
Features of our solution
Data Platform
Consolidate all your data into one platform.
Build the basis for your carbon footprint by collecting data from different parts of your organisation and value chain, such as energy consumption, employee commuting, waste and upstream emissions from the production of purchased goods and services. Connect your existing data sources to the platform via an API to automatically import and update data or invite your colleagues to enter data from different areas. Clear guidelines guide you through the process to ensure nothing is overlooked.
Greenhouse gas balance sheet
Track Scope 1, Scope 2 and Scope 3 emissions
Get an overview of your company’s emissions. A company’s carbon footprint includes both direct emissions (Scope 1) and indirect emissions from purchased energy (Scope 2) and the supply chain (Scope 3). Our solution supports the collection of data and calculation of emissions for Scope 1, 2 and 3 in accordance with the GHG Protocol.
Reduction measures
