However, the calculation of a corporate carbon footprint – or even just a product carbon footprint – is often a time-consuming and costly project. Also, the limited availability of data is a hurdle for a carbon footprint calculation, especially when a company has locations in several countries.

The DFGE TopDown Approach approach makes corporate carbon footprint calculations easier and reduces the time invested. We identify critical factors for you, use data from benchmarks and also take accessible financial data into account. Therefore a reliable estimate of your corporate greenhouse gas emissions can be defined within just a few weeks. This quick and transparent analysis allows companies to focus on the implementation of reduction measures for CO2 emissions.

Step 1 of the Climate Strategy

The corporate carbon footprint calculated according to scientific standards and the DFGE Top-Down Approach forms the basis and the first step in the climate strategy.

What is a Carbon Footprint?

The Carbon Footprint is a descriptive, widely-used term for the greenhouse gas emission balance of an entire organization, or alternatively, of a single product or service. It includes emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2) and other greenhouse gases (measured in CO2 equivalents / CO2-eq).

In the case of an organization like a company or public institution, the Carbon Footprint includes all emissions that are directly or indirectly caused by the activities of the organization over a certain time, usually a year. The Carbon Footprint of a product or service, in turn, includes all emissions occurring over its lifecycle.

Calculating the Carbon Footprint is the central step in measuring what effects a company’s activities and products have on climate change. In the process, main drivers of emissions and weak spots in a company’s ecological performance are discovered and can be optimized. The resulting Carbon Footprint serves as a guideline for own contributions to meeting local, national and international climate targets.
