GHG Accounting and Carbon Footprint Assessment
Measure greenhouse gas emissions clearly, consistently and in line with recognised reporting expectations.
Enquire About GHG AccountingAce CSR helps organisations calculate and disclose greenhouse gas emissions across Scope 1, Scope 2 and relevant Scope 3 categories.
The process brings together activity data, emission factors, operational boundaries, calculation methodologies, data checks and reporting-ready explanations. Each stage helps companies understand their emissions profile, improve data quality and communicate carbon performance more clearly.
What This Service Covers
GHG accounting support can cover the full emissions calculation process, from data request planning to final disclosure. The process identifies relevant emission sources, collects activity data, applies suitable emission factors, checks calculation logic and prepares emissions tables for reporting.
The aim is to produce a clear and defensible carbon footprint. Strong GHG accounting should help companies understand where emissions arise, which sources drive performance and how future reductions can be planned and monitored.
Scope 1 and Scope 2 Emissions
Scope 1 emissions come from sources that the company owns or controls, such as fuel used in vehicles, machinery, generators, boilers or other on-site equipment.
Scope 2 emissions come from purchased electricity, steam, heating or cooling. For most companies, purchased electricity represents the main Scope 2 source.
The process helps companies collect the right activity data, apply appropriate emission factors and present emissions clearly across business units, facilities, subsidiaries or countries where relevant.
Scope 3 Emissions
Scope 3 emissions cover indirect emissions across the value chain. These may include purchased goods and services, capital goods, fuel- and energy-related activities, upstream transport, waste generated in operations, business travel, employee commuting, leased assets, franchises, investments and downstream activities.
A practical Scope 3 assessment should focus on relevance, data availability and materiality. The process can begin with category screening before expanding into more detailed calculations for the categories most relevant to the company.
Data Quality and Methodology
Good emissions reporting depends on clear data sources, consistent assumptions and transparent methodology. The process checks activity data, applies suitable emission factors and documents key assumptions so the results can support internal review, reporting and future comparison.
Where estimates are required, the methodology should explain the basis clearly. This helps companies improve data quality over time without delaying progress on carbon footprint reporting. A reliable emissions baseline also supports climate scenario analysis and transition planning.
At a Glance
Where Emissions Sit in the Value Chain
Upstream
Scope 3 · Indirect
- Purchased goods & services
- Capital goods
- Fuel & energy-related activities
- Transport & distribution
- Waste in operations
- Business travel
- Employee commuting
- Leased assets
Own Operations
Scope 1 & Scope 2
Scope 1 · Direct
- Fuel combustion
- Company vehicles
- Refrigerants & process gases
Scope 2 · Energy indirect
- Purchased electricity
- Steam, heat & cooling
Downstream
Scope 3 · Indirect
- Transport & distribution
- Processing of sold products
- Use of sold products
- End-of-life treatment
- Leased assets
- Franchises
- Investments
Organisational and operational boundaries determine which of these sources fall within the carbon footprint.
