Carbon Footprint for the Organisation
The carbon footprint of an organisation or unit is a significant measure of its impact on the environment. It represents an indirect indicator of the consumption of energy, products, and services and measures the amount of carbon footprint which corresponds to their activities. As an ESG and Carbon Footprint Consultant, we offer end to end solutions customised for your organisation.
Product Carbon Footprint
The carbon footprint of a product includes greenhouse gas emissions produced during a product’s life cycle, from the extraction of raw materials up to waste disposal.

Carbon related Reporting and Disclosure
Helping companies disclose carbon management related performance and carbon footprint demonstrating commitment to stakeholders at every level. This solution is supported by consulting to comply with national and international sustainability reporting requirements and standards like GRI, CDP, SASB, TCFD, ESG, BRSR, DJSI, and many more.
Methodology Framework
We use the GHG protocol which is a global corporate standard for carbon footprint measurement and reporting.
The GHG protocol was created jointly by the World Resources Institute (WRI) and the World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD) and it categorizes emissions related to company operations into three scopes (areas).
Our following validated methodologies support us to handle Global Assignments independent of their locations:
COMPLETE REMOTE MODE FOOTPRINT ASSESSMENT
Through online modes of interaction, data collection and data validation
HYBRID MODE FOOTPRINT ASSESSMENT
Through a combination of online interactions and onsite visits
CBAM or carbon border adjustment mechanism is a policy that puts a price on the carbon emissions embedded in imported goods. So,companies importing goods into the EU with a carbon price will have to pay a fee for the emissions associated with the production of those goods.
The CBAM aims to reduce carbon emissions from imported goods and promote a level playing field between the EU and its trading partners.
It ensures that the carbon price of imports is equivalent to the carbon price of domestic production, and that the EU’s climate objectives are not undermined.
The CBAM is designed to be compatible with WTO-rules.
Business Benefits

Some more answers to your questions – FAQ
What is Carbon Footprint?
A carbon footprint measures the total greenhouse gas emissions caused directly and indirectly by a person, organization, event or product. A carbon footprint is measured in tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (tCO2e).
A carbon footprint considers following greenhouse gases:
Carbon dioxide (CO2), Methane (CH4), Nitrous Oxide (N2O), and fluorinated gases like Hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), Perfluorocarbons (PFCs), Sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) & Nitrogen Trifluoride (NF3).
What is Scope 1 or Direct GHG Emissions?
Emissions which are released directly into the air generated by activities controlled or owned by an organization:
- Emissions from boilers, furnaces, or generators burning fossil fuels at companies
- Emissions from mobile sources (e.g. motor vehicles) owned by the company
- Emissions from industrial processes
- Emissions from waste or wastewater treatment from installations run by the company
What is Scope 2 - Indirect GHG Emissions from Energy?
Emissions associated with the consumption of purchased energy:
- Emissions which are not generated directly at the company, but are the result of the company’s activities
- Emissions from sources that are not directly controlled by the company, but the company has a significant influence on their size
What is Scope 3 or Other GHG Indirect Emissions?
Emissions resulting from the company’s activities which are outside the company’s control or ownership:
- Emissions not classified in Scope 2
- Business travel, waste disposal, purchase and transport of material by a third party
- Broadest and least precisely defined category
What is the BSI: PAS 2050?
The Publicly Available Standard 2050 (PAS 2050) was developed by the British Standards Institution in 2008 as the world’s first framework methodology for carbon footprinting. The updated 2011 version provides a method for assessing the life cycle of greenhouse gas emissions of goods and services. Organizations can use this standard to assess the climate change impact of the goods and services they offer.
