Corporate and Product Carbon Footprint

Corporate Carbon Footprint and Management

Emissions created by companies along their supply chain are known as one of the most important sources of global warming. Companies have a great responsibility to keep global warming below pre-industrial levels and to limit temperature rise to 1.5°C. Therefore, corporate carbon footprint management, which covers all greenhouse gas emissions that companies are directly or indirectly responsible for, becomes a critical element for a company's reputation.

You can measure your corporate carbon footprint and take the first step to determine your reduction targets and stay in compliance with those targets. In this important task, we calculate your scope 1, scope 2, and scope 3 emissions with our technical expertise and report them according to international standards.

The corporate carbon footprint, which we calculate based on international standards such as ISO 14064 and GHG Protocol, is divided into three scopes: scope 1, scope 2, and scope 3. Scope 1 emissions are made up of your company's direct emissions, while scope 2 emissions are indirect emissions from purchasing energy from the use of electricity, steam and/or heating/cooling. Scope 3 emissions, on the other hand, include emissions that occur throughout your value chain as a result of corporate decisions that are outside of your company activities. Especially for companies selling physical products, scope 3 emissions have a very large share in total emissions.

By fully including scope 3 emissions in your corporate carbon footprint, we enable you to enter the target setting process with solid data with more accurate calculations. With our expertise in life cycle assessment (LCA) analysis, we add the carbon footprints of your products to your corporate carbon footprint inventory in a way that most accurately reflects your production processes.

Product Carbon Footprint

The product carbon footprint is the calculation of the total greenhouse gas emissions in terms of carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e) caused by the product under investigation over the specified life cycles. With the product carbon footprint calculations, which constitute the first step of greenhouse gas emission reduction strategies, the impact of your products on climate change is measured. You can use the product carbon footprint reports we have prepared according to international standards and you can identify the products you need to focus on for improvement.

Environmental Product Declarations (EPD)

EPD documents allow you to reliably publish the environmental impact of your products. With these documents, the environmental effects of your products are reported according to international standards and published by EPD operator organizations. With this service, we calculate the environmental effects of your products, report these effects, support you in the verification phase, and ensure that you have a smooth EPD process. With EPD documents, you can highlight your products in export, green buildings, and similar projects.

We support you in the entire process of obtaining the EPD certificate. First of all, we inform you about the process and determine the product category rules for the products you want to get EPD certificate. For the subsequent LCA study, we collect your facility data and perform your environmental impact calculations with our complete modeling. At the end of the calculations, we prepare your EPD document and the accompanying LCA report in accordance with the rules of the EPD program operator and forward it to the independent verifier. After the verification process, your EPD document is ready for publication.
