Carbon reporting organisations
Optimise your reporting efforts!
Mapping your carbon footprint is no trivial task. Especially, accounting for the emissions of your suppliers (i.e., Scope 3) is difficult. It is important, as they make up for vast majority of the total carbon footprint of almost any organisation and its products. At the same time, there are usually no data provided pro-actively by the suppliers. Therefore, this part of carbon mapping is a tedious work of either:
- getting those data from those suppliers, or
- looking up estimated carbon footprint of given product in databases that are incomplete and don’t reflect the reality of your concrete supply chain and any individual efforts to decarbonise.
The result is always a trade-off between the efforts and costs on one hand, and completeness and precision on the other. The question is: What is sufficient effort?
Understand the requirements
Here we come with our comprehensible and easy-to-use indicators of the completeness and data quality of the carbon reports. They provide clear mean of communication between carbon reports users and the reporting organisations. You will know exactly what the requirements are, whether or not you meet them and what do you need to do.

Show progress, compete on fair basis
The indicators are also the best way to plan, check and show the progress of your carbon mapping efforts from one period to the next. They also help you to cope with the paradox of seemingly growing carbon footprint – as you map ever bigger part of your external supplies, the bottom line CO2e will also raise. It is easy to explain and provide evidence, when you exactly calculate the completeness and the quality of the data.
Do you invest in decarbonisation of your operations? Do you pay more for some inputs because they have lower carbon footprint? Don’t let your competitors fool your customers just because they don’t include such factors in their resulting carbon footprint reports. Show that you factor in what is important and your numbers are more real and complete.
Don’t guesstimate emissions of others
We also help you to do the maths with your actual supply chain instead of using the industry-average estimates. Our Primary Emission Factors Database replaces them in streamlined way and makes the calculation of the resulting carbon footprint of anything easier than ever before. Real-world data, complete with the data quality indicators reflecting the good practices of not only you, but also that of your responsible suppliers.
