FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Understanding your carbon footprint is essential in today’s regulatory and sustainability landscape. Our Carbon Accounting FAQ answers the most common questions about emissions tracking, reporting frameworks, and how carbon accounting software can help your business meet climate targets and compliance obligations with confidence.
Carbon accounting, also known as greenhouse gas (GHG) accounting, is the process of measuring, tracking, and reporting carbon dioxide and other GHG emissions produced across an organization’s operations, products, and supply chains. It forms the basis for understanding a company’s climate-related impact and is the first step towards setting reduction targets, disclosing emissions, and meeting compliance standards.
It enables organizations to understand their environmental impact, comply with regulations, identify emission reduction opportunities, and demonstrate sustainability commitments to stakeholders.
The Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Protocol is the most widely used international accounting tool for government and business leaders to understand, quantify, and manage greenhouse gas emissions. Other standards include ISO 14064 (which can be achieved with the support of the Toitu Carbon Reduce program offered by Achilles) and the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) S1 and S2 for sustainability-related disclosures.
It depends on the jurisdiction and the size or type of the company. In many regions, large companies are required to report their emissions, and suppliers to these companies may also need to provide emissions data.
Data can be collected from various sources, including utility bills, fuel consumption records, supplier information, and transportation logs. Automated carbon accounting with platforms like Achilles Carbon Accounting streamlines this process.
Several tools and software platforms assist with carbon accounting, such as:
Scope 3 emissions encompass a wide range of indirect emissions across a company’s value chain, making data collection complex due to the involvement of multiple external parties and varying data quality.
Begin by identifying relevant categories within your value chain, such as purchased goods and services, business travel, and waste disposal. Engage with suppliers and partners to gather necessary data, and consider using spend-based or activity-based methods for estimation.
A carbon credit represents the reduction or removal of one metric ton of carbon dioxide or equivalent greenhouse gases from the atmosphere. Organizations can purchase carbon credits to offset their emissions, but it is recommended that credits are used only when other means of reduction have been exhausted.
While often used interchangeably, carbon credits are tradable certificates representing emission reductions, whereas carbon offsets refer to the actual projects or activities that reduce emissions, such as reforestation or renewable energy initiatives.
Start by assessing your current data availability and determining the appropriate boundaries for your emissions inventory. Employ standardized methodologies like the GHG Protocol, and consider engaging with experts or using specialized software like Achilles Carbon Accounting to facilitate the process.
Beyond regulatory compliance, carbon accounting can lead to cost savings through energy efficiency, enhance brand reputation, attract environmentally conscious investors and customers, and identify opportunities for innovation and improvement in operations.
