Carbon Footprint Measurement
Every business leaves an impact on the planet—but how do you measure it? That’s where Carbon Footprint Measurement comes in. It’s not just a sustainability buzzword; it’s a scientific way to calculate how much carbon dioxide (CO₂) and other greenhouse gases (GHGs) your organization releases through operations, energy use, logistics, or manufacturing. At Aarthika Globcorp, we help businesses accurately measure, monitor, and manage their carbon footprint, turning climate accountability into a competitive advantage. Our experts guide organizations across sectors to align their reporting with global standards such as ISO 14064, GHG Protocol, and BRSR frameworks, ensuring every ton of emission is calculated and managed with precision.
How It’s Done (The Carbon Measurement Process):
At Aarthika Globcorp, our carbon footprint assessment process follows globally accepted protocols:
- Boundary Definition: Identify which activities, locations, and operations are to be assessed (Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions).
- Data Collection: Gather activity data such as fuel usage, electricity bills, business travel, logistics, and waste generation.
- Emission Calculation: Convert data into CO₂ equivalents using recognized emission factors and GHG Protocol guidelines.
- Verification & Reporting: Prepare standardized carbon footprint reports suitable for ESG/BRSR submissions or voluntary disclosures.
- Mitigation Planning: Develop actionable strategies to reduce emissions and transition toward a low-carbon future.
Documents & Data Required for Assessment:
To ensure accurate reporting, you’ll need:
- Energy & Fuel Consumption Data (electricity, diesel, LPG, natural gas)
- Travel & Transportation Records
- Production and Process Logs
- Waste Management & Recycling Data
- Supplier & Procurement Details for Scope 3 estimation
Our team organizes and validates this data to ensure compliance with Indian and international reporting norms.
FAQs
While full reporting isn’t mandatory for all businesses, BRSR, ESG frameworks, and certain industry guidelines require carbon emissions disclosure—especially for listed companies and sustainability-focused organizations.
Accuracy depends on the quality of data provided. Aarthika uses standardized emission factors, validated formulas, and internationally accepted guidelines to ensure high accuracy and reliability.
Most companies assess their emissions annually, though quarterly tracking is recommended for ESG-focused businesses or industries with high energy usage.
Yes. Identifying emission-heavy areas often uncovers energy wastage, inefficient processes, and costly resource consumption, helping reduce operational expenses.
Scope 3 data—especially related to suppliers, waste, logistics, and employee travel—tends to be the most challenging. Aarthika helps businesses build a structured framework to collect and validate this data.
