What is Carbon Foot Print (CFP)?

A carbon foot print is the total amount of greenhouse gases (GHGs), primarily carbon dioxide (CO₂), emitted directly and indirectly by a person, organization, event, or product. These emissions contribute to climate change and global warming. A carbon foot print is usually measured in metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (CO₂e) per year, taking into account various activities and processes that release GHGs.

Why to calculate CO2 emission as per ISO 14064?

Calculating CO2 emissions per product helps organizations understand the environmental impact of each item they produce. This data supports efforts to reduce carbon foot print, meet sustainability goals, and demonstrate environmental responsibility, fostering transparency and improving efficiency in production processes.

ISO 14064 (Corporate Carbon Foot Print)

Our team of certified ISO 14064 auditors specializes in calculating and verifying CO2 emission data at the corporate level. With ISO 14064 certification, we adhere to rigorous global standards, ensuring precise, transparent reporting and accurate assessment of greenhouse gas emissions. Our expertise helps organizations meet compliance requirements, enhance environmental transparency, and build stakeholder confidence. Leveraging our comprehensive understanding of ISO 14064 protocols, we guide clients in managing their carbon footprints effectively, enabling data-backed decisions that support corporate sustainability goals.

ISO 14067
(Product Specific GHG Emission)

Our team of certified auditors specializes in calculating and verifying product-specific greenhouse gas emissions according to ISO 14067 standards. ISO 14067 focuses on the accurate assessment of carbon footprints throughout a product’s lifecycle, ensuring precision in measuring, reporting, and reducing emissions. With our expertise in ISO 14067, we provide credible, transparent insights that meet global standards, empowering companies to achieve their sustainability goals with verified data. Our commitment to best practices supports clients in delivering environmentally responsible products that align with both regulatory requirements and market expectations for sustainability.

What is included in the CFP Report?

When reporting a carbon footprint, it’s essential to include all major sources of greenhouse gas emissions associated with your activities or operations. Here are the main components to consider in a comprehensive carbon footprint report:

1. Scope 1 (Direct Emissions)
Fuel Combustion: Emissions from on-site fuel use, such as natural gas for heating or diesel for company vehicles.
Fleet Vehicles: Emissions from company-owned or controlled vehicles.
Fugitive Emissions: Emissions from leaks in equipment, refrigeration systems, or industrial processes.

2. Scope 2 (Indirect Emissions from Energy Use)
Purchased Electricity: Emissions from the generation of electricity consumed by the organization.
Heating and Cooling: Emissions from district heating, steam, or cooling purchased for use in facilities.

3. Scope 3 (Other Indirect Emissions)
Upstream Activities:Purchased Goods and Services: Emissions from the production of goods and services purchased by the organization.

Capital Goods: Emissions from the production of long-lasting goods like equipment or buildings.

Waste Generated in Operations: Emissions from the disposal and treatment of waste generated by the organization.

Business Travel: Emissions from flights, train travel, car rentals, or hotel stays for business purposes.

Employee Commuting: Emissions from employees commuting to and from work.

Transportation and Distribution: Emissions from third-party transportation of goods.

Downstream Activities:Use of Sold Products: Emissions resulting from the use of products sold by the organization.

End-of-Life Treatment of Sold Products: Emissions from the disposal and treatment of products sold by the organization.

Franchises and Leased Assets: Emissions from assets not directly controlled by the organization but leased to others.

4. Additional Categories (Optional but Useful)
Water Use: Although not a direct GHG emission, reporting water use and associated energy can provide a holistic view of environmental impact.
Waste Management: Tracking recycling, composting, and waste reduction efforts.
Renewable Energy: Highlighting renewable energy purchases or on-site generation, which helps reduce Scope 2 emissions.

5. Total GHG Emissions (CO₂e)
Summing all emissions from Scope 1, 2, and 3, converted into a total CO₂ equivalent (CO₂e), provides a comprehensive metric for the organization’s carbon footprint.

6. Emissions Intensity (Optional)
Emissions Per Revenue: CO₂e per dollar of revenue.
Emissions Per Employee: Useful for tracking per capita emissions and setting reduction targets.
Emissions Per Product: CO₂e per unit of product or service, helpful for organizations in manufacturing or product-based industries.
By addressing these areas in a carbon footprint report, organizations can identify major sources of emissions and target areas for reduction.
