Talk to an expert

Partner with Sphera’s sustainability consultants to establish a comprehensive, audit-ready greenhouse gas (GHG) inventory covering Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3 emissions. Leveraging GHG Protocol and ISO 14064 standards, along with high-quality emissions data, we deliver an accurate baseline that supports credible reporting and long-term decarbonization planning.

Our corporate carbon footprint (CCF) calculations align with leading frameworks, including CSRD/ESRS, ISSB/IFRS, CDP, TCFD, and SBTi, ensuring your disclosures meet the expectations of investors, regulators, and stakeholders. By identifying emissions hotspots and quantifying reduction pathways, we provide actionable insights that lay a strong foundation for follow-up initiatives such as climate transition planning and science-based target (SBT) setting.

Sphera’s experts bridge the gap between carbon accounting and strategy, enabling your organization to seamlessly integrate carbon management into operational decision-making, cost-reduction efforts, and long-term climate action. From data collection to reporting support, our team ensures a transparent, defensible, and scalable carbon footprint process tailored to your unique needs.

FAQs

Work with Sustainability Consulting experts who understand your products, your industry, and your region.

What is a corporate carbon footprint (CCF)?

A corporate carbon footprint quantifies an organization’s greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions across Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3. It establishes a baseline for reporting, decarbonization strategy, and long-term climate action. Sphera’s CCF assessments adhere to the GHG Protocol and ISO 14064 standards, aligning outputs with frameworks such as CSRD/ESRS, CDP, ISSB/IFRS, and SBTi.

How are Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions calculated?

Scope 1 and 2 emissions are calculated using operational data, such as fuel consumption and energy usage. Scope 3 emissions are assessed using a combination of physical activity data, supplier-specific information, and industry-leading life cycle assessment (LCA) data.

How does a carbon footprint support decarbonization?

A credible GHG emissions baseline identifies emissions hotspots, informs reduction pathways, and supports Science-Based Target (SBT) setting and climate transition planning. It also strengthens corporate sustainability reporting, ensuring alignment with global frameworks and evolving regulations.

What are typical deliverables of a CCF project?

Deliverables typically include:

  • Development of methodology and calculation approach to produce CCF results aligned with disclosure requirements.
  • Calculation of Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions.
  • Audit-ready calculation of Scope 3 emissions across all 15 categories.
  • Hotspot analysis and quantification of carbon reduction pathways.
  • A decarbonization roadmap, including GHG reduction target setting (e.g., SBTi) and supplier engagement.
