Company emission register

Here you register your company’s emission budget on an annual basis. These values are used when reporting the company's emissions according to the GHG protocol (Green House Gas Protocol Corporate Standard). This information is also the basis of calculations in the emission calculation made for parts.

You can also report the result of the emissions in the Budget and result tab. In the Overhead tab, you enter the company’s overhead emissions.

What is the GHG protocol?

The GHG protocol has been developed to facilitate companies' reporting of greenhouse gas emissions, as well as to make climate reporting more transparent, consistent and comparable between companies.

The GHG protocol is the most widely accepted international reporting standard and is used by governments, businesses, and organizations as a tool to understand, quantify, and manage greenhouse gas emissions. The wide spread of the GHG protocol makes it easier for companies that follow the protocol to compare their emissions with others. It is also the method recommended by ESRS (European Sustainability Reporting Standards).

In the GHG protocol, the emissions are divided into different categories so that one emission cannot be reported multiple times. This division is based on whether the emission is owned or not owned by the reporting company, and whether the emission is direct or indirect.

Direct emissions come from sources owned or controlled by the reporting company. Indirect emissions are a consequence of the reporting company's operations, but the emission is owned by another party.

Scope

According to the GHG protocol, the company's emissions are divided into three different scopes and correspond to the three levels of reporting requirements developed for companies.

  • Scope 1 – Covers the emissions that occur in the company's own operations (direct), e.g., fuel burning and vehicles the company owns or controls.
  • Scope 2 – Covers indirect emissions from purchased electricity, steam, heat, and cooling.
  • Scope 3 – Concerns other indirect emissions from purchased materials, product use, waste management, business trips, etc. that the company does not own or control.
