Carbon accounting and reduction is critical to achieving net zero across the UK. It’s also great for your business.
Carbon accounting will help you:
Why measure your greenhouse gas emissions?
What do we measure?
The first step towards reducing your greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions involves measuring and understanding your impact through a full emissions inventory.
By doing this, you’ll be able to see where your business generates the most emissions.
Emissions are divided into three categories:
Scope 1 emissions come directly from your business.
Scope 2 emissions are indirect emissions that come from the energy you buy and use.
Scope 3 emissions are all indirect emissions not covered by Scope 2. This includes anything linked to your commercial activity that isn’t owned or controlled by you.
The Measure process will collect baseline measurements and help you set targets so you can then take the next steps to decarbonise your business: Plan and Act.
