What is Climate Accounting?

With the growing awareness of global climate change, an increasing number of industries experience a greater demand for carbon reduction and emission documentation. With a climate account, you get a standardized statement of the organization’s greenhouse gas emissions, calculated by multiplying an activity data with an emission factor. SustainX guides you through your climate accounting following the GHG Protocol. Together, we ensure that you progress in the best way for you, your company, and the planet.

The Three Scopes

Climate accounting involves collecting data from three scopes: 

plus
Scope 1

All direct emissions from sources controlled or owned by the company, including transport and production/operation emissions from company facilities. 

plus
Scope 2

All indirect emissions that the company buys and uses for company activities from facilities that generate heat, electricity, and cooling.

plus
Scope 3

All indirect emissions from upstream operations (emissions related to the supply chain: e.g., purchased goods and services, fuel-related activities, waste from operations, transportation, and distribution) and downstream activities (emissions associated with the company’s customers and end-use consumers, e.g., processing of sold products, end-of-life treatment of sold products).
