Carbon footprint
We help companies identify, quantify and manage their greenhouse gas emissions and thus meet the requirements of legislation, investors and the public. We provide certified calculations of Product and Corporate Carbon Footprint in accordance with the standards EN ISO 14067, EN ISO 14064-1 and the GHG protocol. We also calculate the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions at the project level in accordance with the standard EN ISO 14064-2. Our services also include product life cycle assessment (LCA) in accordance with the standards EN ISO 14040 and 14044. In addition to calculations, we also provide certified and accredited verification of the calculated Product Carbon Footprint and also Corporate Carbon Footprint, as well as validation and verification of projects aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions in accordance with the standard EN ISO 14064-3.
Product Carbon Footprint
The Product's Carbon Footprint includes greenhouse gas emissions that occur during the life cycle of the product - from the extraction of raw materials necessary for its production, through the consumption of materials, raw materials and energy to the disposal of waste that arises from the product itself. The product's carbon footprint is also part of the product's life cycle assessment (Life-Cycle Assessment = LCA).
Corporate Carbon Footprint
The Company's Carbon Footprint measures the environmental impact of its operations. It is an indirect indicator of energy consumption, manufactured products and provided services. The value of the carbon footprint corresponds to all the company's activities.
The carbon footprint can also be determined at different levels - global, national, local, city or individual.
Reduction of greenhouse gas emissions at the project level
Project-level emission reductions represent the amount of greenhouse gases that will be reduced or eliminated by implementing a specific measure compared to a reference scenario, i.e. the situation that would have occurred without the project. This approach allows for an objective assessment of the project's environmental benefits and provides key information that can be used in the development of decarbonization strategies.
Life Cycle Analysis (LCA)
LCA is an analytical method of evaluating possible environmental impacts (not only CO₂e emissions) associated with the life cycle of a certain product or process, technology or service.
As a rule, LCA takes into account the entire life cycle of the product, from extraction and acquisition of raw materials entering production, through the costs of resources consumed in technology, to distribution, use of the product itself and subsequent disposal, or the recycling of waste arising after the use of the evaluated product to the evaluation of the environmental benefits of the given product.
Assessing the life cycle of a product is important when defining options for improving the state of the environment, production processes and sources of raw materials, generated waste in the entire supply-customer value chain.
Sustainability and ESG
We also provide consultancy in the area of sustainability (the relationship between the individual activities of the company and the environment) and ESG (a framework of criteria on the basis of which the company evaluates its own risks and its performance in the field of environmental protection, in the social field and in the creation of its own policies). We help you find and establish the optimal ESG criteria for your type of business, we can then monitor and evaluate them, we prepare ESG reports.
