Carbon Footprint
Do you recognize these challenges?
You don't know where your organization emits the most CO₂ and which improvement actions should be prioritized.
Customers are increasingly asking for clear emissions data and transparency about your environmental impact.
CSRD regulations require detailed reporting, but as a large enterprise, you are not yet ready
You have set sustainability goals, but you lack an accurate baseline measurement to build upon.
A Carbon Footprint analysis provides you with the insights to efficiently improve sustainability and save costs.
Where are your CO2 emissions?
Own indirect emissions (Scope 1) - company cars, heating boilers, production lines or air conditioning systems. Here you have the most influence and can often achieve quick wins.
Own indirect emissions (Scope 2) - purchased electricity and/or heat, cooling or steam. By making smart choices for renewable energy, you often achieve the greatest cost savings.
Emissions in your value chain (Scope 3) - suppliers, transport, waste processing. These 'hidden' emissions are often by far the largest, but also offer the most opportunities for improvement.
Why a Carbon Footprint Analysis?
Whether you want to reduce costs or differentiate your organization in the market, a clear insight into your CO₂ emissions is essential. Without a detailed analysis, you miss opportunities to efficiently improve sustainability, mitigate risks, and strengthen your reputation.
Make an impact through insight
Identify the largest CO₂ emission sources within and outside your organization and discover where the most significant gains can be made. Lay the groundwork for an action plan and a future-oriented reduction strategy.
Answer Stakeholder Questions
More and more clients, suppliers, and governments are requesting CO₂ figures for tenders and partnerships. A carbon footprint analysis provides you with the data you need to answer these questions accurately.
Achieve Savings
Turn sustainability into an opportunity. By using your resources more efficiently, you save in the short and long term while reducing your carbon footprint.
Strengthen Your Market Position
By proactively embracing sustainability, you strengthen your position in a market that increasingly values it. Differentiate yourself from competitors with transparent CO₂ data and secure more deals.
Calculating Your Carbon Footprint: Here's How We Do It
Defining Focus
Which locations, activities, and goals should we include? We ensure the analysis perfectly aligns with your needs – whether that's CSRD compliance, client requirements, or cost savings.
Data Collection
No endless Excel lists. We help you efficiently collect the right data: energy bills, transport mileage, purchasing data. We set up systems so this happens automatically in the future.
Calculating CO₂ Impact
Using up-to-date emission factors and a proven methodology, we convert everything into clear CO₂ figures. Transparent and auditable, so you can confidently share your results.
Identify opportunities
Not all measures are equally effective. We identify where you can achieve the greatest CO₂ reduction with the least effort and cost. Plus: which actions immediately generate savings.
Concrete action plan
A roadmap with achievable steps, realistic timelines, and clear responsibilities. From quick wins you can implement next month to strategic projects for the coming years. After 3 months, we organize a progress meeting to review implementation and identify where adjustments are needed.

The main goal is to gain insight into your organization's greenhouse gas emissions. The analysis provides insight into the quantity and origin of your emissions and forms the basis for a CO₂ action plan.
You can't improve what you don't measure. A carbon footprint identifies your largest emission sources, highlights opportunities for improvement, and forms the basis for effective sustainability strategies.
The six main steps are: defining scope and objectives, data inventory, emission calculation according to GHG Protocol, hotspot identification for prioritization, development of a CO₂ action plan, and follow-up after implementation.
Yes, a thorough carbon footprint often forms the basis for EcoVadis assessments, ISO 14001 certification, CSRD reporting, and other sustainability frameworks that require transparency.
This depends on the scope and data availability. A basic analysis (Scope 1 & 2) usually takes 4-6 weeks, while an extensive analysis including Scope 3 takes 8-12 weeks.
