Greenhouse Gas Accounting (GHG)
Empowering Business Leaders to Thrive
Why Choose Our Greenhouse Gas Accounting Services?
What is Greenhouse Gas Accounting?
A Greenhouse Gas Inventory is a summary of the emissions that a company creates as a result of doing business. It allows a company to determine the amount of emissions it is producing, compare itself to other companies in its sector, and show the impact of reduction strategies on its customers.
Greenhouse gas accounting is performed with the ultimate goal of reducing your business’s carbon footprint. But your carbon footprint is much more than a list of numbers and statistics. GHG inventories can help you optimize your business model, reduce energy costs, improve employee comfort, and provide accountability to investors.
For example, many corporate companies already require regular GHG accounting for investment accountability. Not to mention, new local and federal energy regulations will likely make GHG Accounting a requirement in the near future (more on this later)!
So, let’s take a closer look at how GHG Accounting works.
Key Benefits of Our GHG Accounting Services
We take a detail-oriented approach to GHG accounting—for us, that means factoring in your building size, business type, inventory, energy systems, and more. This allows us to create a GHG inventory that will work as a resource for your business, and as a starting point for any future work.
We divide our GHG inventories into three “scopes” in accordance with GHG Protocol guidelines.
Scope 1:
These are emissions that are directly from company-owned resources, such as vehicles and heating equipment on site.
Scope 2:
These are emissions that are produced as a result of purchased electricity. The power company burns fossil fuels to generate the power that your company consumes and Scope 2 emissions account for that production.
Scope 3:
These are emissions that come from your value chain and include categories such as your business travel, the emissions from the waste generated in your operations, and the emissions your employees create as they commute to the job site, among other categories.
