Corporate Carbon Footprint (CCF) Services
Calculate and report your Corporate Carbon Footprint (CCF) to enhance your ESG performance.
Start Your Corporate ESG Journey with an Accurate Carbon Emissions Baseline
Quantifying your Corporate Carbon Footprint (CCF) is the starting point for serious climate risk mitigation activities. However, not all corporate greenhouse gas (GHG) calculations provide the insights you need to identify emissions hotspots on a material basis and assess the reduction pathways that help you achieve actual, provable improvements and report them to your stakeholders. Sphera’s sustainability experts help you establish a robust corporate GHG emissions baseline that can be continuously optimized as your company matures on its ESG journey.
Focus First on the Emissions
You Control
Assessing GHG emissions at the corporate level begins with understanding the emissions that are under your company’s direct control. Direct emissions from owned or controlled sources (Scope 1) and emissions from purchased energy generation (Scope 2) are usually relatively easy to assess. These calculations form the foundation for corporate carbon accounting. Value chain emissions (Scope 3) quantification builds on this foundation. Sphera’s sustainability consultants help you start the CCF calculation process by defining your GHG inventory boundaries. We perform or review existing Scope 1 and Scope 2 calculations and assess your Scope 3 emissions in accordance with the Greenhouse Gas Protocol and ISO 14064 standards.
Turn Scope 3 Quantification Challenges into Decarbonization Opportunities
Upstream and downstream value chain emissions (Scope 3) often account for the largest portion of the Corporate Carbon Footprint and are a focus for current and upcoming reporting regulations and frameworks. Though these emissions are not directly controllable, when calculated accurately based on physically quantified and industry-specific emissions data, Scope 3 emissions can provide your company with tremendous opportunities for improvement through fact-based and data-driven communication with suppliers, customers and other stakeholders involved.
Sphera’s sustainability consultants help your company calculate Scope 3 emissions in accordance with the GHG Protocol, including Scope 3 relevance analysis and methodology development for Scope 3 quantification for a defined base year. The emissions baseline that we establish for your company provides a solid foundation for your ESG reporting and emissions reduction strategy.
Track ESG Improvement Through an Annual Calculation Process
The calculation of the Corporate Carbon Footprint is not a one-time exercise. Companies need to quantify and disclose their emissions baseline and reduction progress annually. Sphera’s sustainability experts help you establish a corporate ESG governance system to collect, calculate, manage and report all relevant corporate emissions data and track progress against defined KPIs. We enable your company to continually improve your GHG accounting and reduce your CCF by providing best-in-class emissions data, sophisticated and scalable software solutions and methodological and sector expertise.
