As widely known, a carbon footprint<\/strong> <\/span>is a <\/span> <\/span>to the total amount of greenhouse gases (GHGs) emitted from various activities or processes. <\/span>When these emissions result from the production or operation of a product, they are called the Carbon Footprint for Product (CFP). Conversely, when emissions come from an organization\u2019s overall operations, they are referred to as the Carbon Footprint for Organization (CFO). <\/span>There are seven types of greenhouse gases (GHGs) recognized under international standards:\n\nCarbon dioxide (CO\u2082)\n\nMethane (CH\u2084)\n\nPerfluorocarbons (PFCs)\n\nHydrofluorocarbons (HFCs)\n\nNitrous oxide (N\u2082O)\n\nSulfur hexafluoride (SF\u2086)\n\nNitrogen trifluoride (NF\u2083)\n\nAll these gases are measured and reported in terms of tons or kilograms of carbon dioxide equivalent (tonCO\u2082-eq or kgCO\u2082-eq) \u2014 a standardized unit that expresses the impact of different greenhouse gases based on their Global Warming Potential (GWP) compared to carbon dioxide.<\/span><\/p>\n

Standard for Assessing the Quantity of Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Removals of Organizations <\/b><\/h1>\n

Divided into 3 Types (Carbon Emission Types)<\/b><\/h1>\n

For the assessment of an organization\u2019s carbon footprint, it helps the organization gain a clearer overall picture of greenhouse gas emissions across its entire supply chain. This enables the identification of activities that generate emissions, facilitates easier tracking of emission reduction performance, and allows for more measurable outcomes.\n\nThe emissions are divided into three types as follows: <\/span><\/p>\n

Type 1: <\/b>: Direct Emissions from the organization\u2019s operational activities<\/span>)<\/span><\/p>\n

Type 2 :<\/b> Energy Indirect Emissions<\/span><\/p>\n

Type 3 : <\/b>Other Indirect Emissions<\/span><\/p>\n

Dividing data collection into different scopes helps clarify the approach to assessing greenhouse gas emissions. It enables the organization to obtain accurate information, measure results throughout the entire value chain\u2014from upstream to downstream\u2014and identify the sources and processes that generate emissions. This understanding ultimately leads to finding effective strategies to reduce and manage the organization\u2019s greenhouse gas emissions. <\/span><\/p>\n

  2. Collecting data on sources of greenhouse gas emissions and removals<\/li>\n
  3. The calculation of an organization\u2019s greenhouse gas emissions, categorized by type, must take into account transparency, verifiability, and the reliability of data sources used in the calculation. All references should be based on credible and recognized sources.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    How should an organization start when assessing its carbon footprint?<\/b><\/h2>\n

    \"\"<\/a><\/h2>\n

    Here are the basic steps for conducting a Carbon Footprint assessment. You can also consult with our experts for convenience \u2014 let us help lighten your workload and provide guidance to ensure your data preparation is accurate and completed within the planned timeframe.<\/p>\n

    1. Defining the Organizational Scope & Boundaries<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Specify \u201cwho is part of the organization\u201d to be included in the assessment \u2014 for example, factories, offices, or branch units \u2014 and define the sources of emissions to be covered, such as direct fuel use, electricity consumption, or other controllable external activities.<\/span><\/p>\n

    2. Develop an Inventory Plan and Collect Activity Data<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Collect data on energy consumption, fuel usage, and raw materials, as well as activities related to travel, transportation, and logistics, in order to calculate greenhouse gas emissions from each part of the organization.<\/span><\/p>\n

    3. Select Emission Factors<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Gather information on the emission factors related to each type of greenhouse gas emitted.<\/span><\/p>\n

    4. Calculation and Result Analysis<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Use the collected data to calculate the Carbon Footprint under Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3, and analyze which products or activities generate the highest emissions. This serves as the starting point for developing a targeted and effective emission reduction strategy that delivers meaningful results.<\/span><\/p>\n

    5. Set Reduction Targets<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Set clear goals, such as reducing emissions by 20\u201340% within 5 years, or adopting Science-Based Targets (SBTs) aligned with global frameworks like the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) or the Paris Agreement. <\/span><\/p>\n

    Why should organizations pay attention to the carbon footprint, and how does environmental performance affect fundraising and modern investors?<\/b><\/h3>\n

    In an era where sustainability has become a key factor in business decision-making, the Carbon Footprint which refers to the amount of greenhouse gases generated from operations and daily human activities plays a crucial role. Every single activity contributes to greenhouse gas emissions in some way. <\/span>Dive deeper with greenhouse gas management consultants to learn more...<\/span><\/i> <\/a><\/span> where business operations have become an important indicator influencing fundraising and investment decisions among modern investors. This is especially true today, as society increasingly emphasizes sustainability, not only in terms of the environment but also in social and governance dimensions. Moreover, it reflects the growing awareness of future impacts and the collective desire to ensure that human life continues sustainably in all aspects. <\/span><\/p>\n

    Modern investors\u2014particularly institutional investors and ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) funds\u2014are placing greater emphasis on sustainability and environmental responsibility. Reducing a company\u2019s carbon footprint serves as a clear indicator that the organization is environmentally responsible and prepared to manage future risks, thereby strengthening investor confidence.<\/span><\/p>\n
