GHG emissions accounting

A team of experienced MATERIALITY analysts will guide your organization through the process of calculating its carbon footprint. We support our clients throughout the entire process, from education, through data collection and calculation, to reporting in accordance with the ESRS E1 standard.

An organization's carbon footprint consists of emissions in scope 1 (direct emissions), scope 2 (indirect emissions resulting from the purchase of energy from external suppliers), and scope 3 (all other indirect emissions). Scope 3 emissions alone consist of as many as 15 categories of sources, such as purchased raw materials and supplies, transportation, product use, waste, and investments.

Accurate calculation of emissions is the first step towards active management. Knowing the individual sources and corresponding emission levels, you can not only present them in a report or share the information with your business partners, but also plan actions that will reduce emissions in the coming years.

We calculate emissions in accordance with the GHG Protocol, the most widely used set of standards in the world, using appropriate emission factor databases and always applying the most accurate calculation methods. Depending on the needs, we also use industry standards and our own methods for estimating indicators specific to the organization and its business.

How will we work together?

Educational workshop

We conduct an educational workshop for your company's team, during which we introduce the topic of calculating an organization's carbon footprint.

Identification of data sources

Analysis based on the materials provided and detailed interviews, which allows us to identify data sources both within your company's operations and value chain (upstream and downstream).

Organization of the data management system

We build from scratch or help adapt a data management system accompanied by a data quality policy and appropriate internal procedures.

GHG emissions accounting

After collecting primary source data, we calculate emissions using appropriate indicators, and if the primary data set is incomplete, we make appropriate estimates.

Results of cooperation

The result of GHG emissions calculations is a set of data on the volume of greenhouse gas emissions from individual sources. The data is provided in a form that allows for its further use in reporting, management, and decarbonization processes.
