Carbon Accounting

Carbon accounting is the systematic process of measuring, recording, and reporting an organisation's greenhouse gas emissions. It follows standardised methodologies — primarily the GHG Protocol Corporate Standard — to quantify Scope 1 (direct), Scope 2 (purchased energy), and Scope 3 (value chain) emissions. Carbon accounting forms the foundation for target-setting, regulatory compliance (BRSR, CSRD, SEC), carbon pricing, and climate strategy.
