Corporate Carbon Footprint (GHG)
The environmental impacts of a company’s operations are assessed using the internationally recognized GHG Protocol. LCA Point provides expert services for implementing greenhouse gas (GHG) calculations in accordance with the GHG Protocol. Every project is tailored to meet the specific needs of each client, with the goal of ultimately transferring knowledge and capabilities to the organization itself.
GHG calculations help identify the most significant sources of emissions within your operations, meet reporting requirements, and create a roadmap for emissions reduction.
LCA Point’s GHG calculations help your organization:
- Identify the most significant sources of greenhouse gas emissions
- Understand the distribution of emissions across Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3 categories
- Meet CSRD, ESG, and other reporting requirements
- Set measurable climate targets and monitor progress
- Identify the most effective emission reduction measures
- Support strategic decision-making with reliable emissions data
- Strengthen competitiveness and sustainability communication
What does GHG calculation include?
GHG calculations cover all relevant direct and indirect greenhouse gas emissions generated by an organization.
Scope 1 – Direct Emissions
- Fuel consumption in company-owned processes and equipment
- Emissions from company vehicles
- Other direct emission sources
Scope 2 – Indirect Energy-Related Emissions
- Emissions from purchased energy
Scope 3 – Indirect Value Chain Emissions
- Procurement and materials
- Transportation and logistics
- Business travel and employee commuting
- Waste and waste treatment
- Subcontractors and purchased services
- Product use and end-of-life impacts
Scope 3 emissions often account for the largest share of an organization’s total emissions, making their identification essential for achieving effective emission reductions.
Scope 3 emissions calculations can also be used to determine product-specific emission values. Through our extensive work with Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs), LCA Point has developed particular expertise in product-level emissions calculations.
