Greenhouse gas accounting

A greenhouse gas (GHG) inventory gives an overview of a company’s climate footprint by disclosing its GHG emissions, both direct from own operations and indirect in the value-chain. At a minimum, a GHG inventory must include a company’s direct emissions and its indirect energy consumption emissions.

A greenhouse gas inventory makes it easy to see how emissions change over time and is useful for managing sustainability work. The inventory also makes it possible to respond to data requests from large companies that are still covered by CSRD, or that have set emissions targets under SBTi.

Most greenhouse gas inventories are done in accordance with the Greenhouse Gas Protocol (GHG Protocol), which is accepted as the gold standard for GHG accounting. The protocol covers all GHGs included in Kyoto Protocol (CO2, SF6, CH4, N2O. NF3, HFCs, and PFCs) and consists of three “Scopes”.

Our GHG inventories are always in line with the GHG Protocol and our experts are happy to help you with your project, whether you will establish your first ever GHG inventory or dig deep down in your supply-chain to det a more exact Scope 3.
