Frequently Asked Questions
What is carbon accounting?
Carbon accounting is the process of measuring and reporting an organization’s greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions to understand its environmental impact.
Why should we measure our Emissions?
Measuring emissions is important to help companies understand their environmental impact. It is the first step to setting environmental targets, tracking progress, and managing risk as it relates to climate change. Increasingly, governments, stakeholders, and customers expect companies to act environmentally responsible. Measuring emissions is important both for regulatory compliance and competitive advantage.
What are Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions?
-
- Scope 1: Direct emissions from owned or controlled sources (e.g., company vehicles).
-
- Scope 2: Indirect emissions from purchased energy (e.g., electricity).
-
- Scope 3: Other indirect emissions from the value chain (e.g., supplier activities, employee travel).
Do I need to measure all three scopes?
It depends on your goals and requirements. Many SMEs start with Scope 1 and 2 before addressing Scope 3, as it involves more complex data gathering.
What standards does GreenFeet used for carbon accounting?
The GreenFeet Platform is built around the Greenhouse Gas Protocol,
Can carbon accounting improve my business’s reputation?
Yes, demonstrating commitment to sustainability can attract eco-conscious customers and investors and set you apart from competitors.
What if I have to report under a specific framework?
Having to report under a specific framework is nothing to be concerned about. GreenFeet helps clients report under numerous different frameworks such as; SECR, GHG Protocol. Ecovadis etc. What is important to remember, is that every framework has its roots in the Greenhouse gas protocol.
How do I gather data for carbon accounting?
Data can come from utility bills, fuel receipts, supplier information, and employee travel logs. Tools and software can streamline this process.

Useful Definitions
Baseline emissions: These are the emissions calculated during your first carbon reporting period. Baseline emissions serve as a benchmark for comparison for companies to track, monitor, and communicate their own performance over time.
Emissions factors: A coefficient used to estimate the amount of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions produced per unit of activity or input.
It provides a standardized way to calculate emissions from various sources and processes by relating them to a specific activity, such as energy use, fuel consumption, or production processes.
Activity data: This includes quantitative data such as fuel consumed, electricity used, kilometers traveled, and quantities of goods or waste.
Upstream Emissions: These emissions come from the production of your business’s products or services. They are accounted for through purchased goods and services and through the raw materials etc. that go into a final product/service.
Downstream Emissions: These emissions relate to the end of life treatment of sold products/services or use of sold products/services.
Intensity Metric: This is a measure of company activity against emissions.
Typically, companies use what’s known an intensity metric to show their improvements even as a company grows.
MtCO2e: MtC02e refers to Metric Tons of Carbon Dioxide Equivalent. It is a unit of measure used to express the impact of greenhouse gasses (GHGs) on global warming in terms of the amount of CO2 that would have the same impact over a specific period (usually 100 years).
This is a standard unit for comparing the emissions of various greenhouse gasses based on their global warming potential (GWP). For example, if a company reports its emissions as 100 MtCO2e, it means the combined impact of all the greenhouse gasses it emits is equivalent to 100 metric tons of CO2.
