A carbon inventory, or carbon footprint, is a comprehensive assessment of a business’s total greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. It encompasses direct emissions (Scope 1), indirect emissions from purchased energy (Scope 2), and all other indirect emissions in the value chain (Scope 3).

Key steps  in the carbon inventory process include:

  Defining the scope of emissions.
  Collecting activity data (e.g., fuel consumption, electricity usage).
  Applying emission factors to calculate GHG emissions.
  Analysing and reporting the total emissions.
  Setting targets and implementing strategies for reduction.

By conducting a carbon inventory, businesses can identify major emission sources, mitigate climate-related risks, enhance sustainability efforts, and demonstrate a commitment to climate action.
