Businesses are increasingly recognizing their role in reducing their carbon footprint. At Kiwa, we offer carbon footprint services to help you measure, reduce, and offset your environmental impact for the long term.

Understanding your organization's carbon footprint is the first step towards meaningful change.  We analyze your carbon footprint to give you a clear and accurate picture, helping you find ways to reduce emissions and enhance your environmental performance.

Corporate Carbon Footprint (CCF)

The Corporate Carbon Footprint (CCF), or Organizational Carbon Footprint (OEF) is a significant measure used in sustainability reporting, climate protection programs, and emissions trading. Comprising three scopes in accordance with ISO 14064 standards, it provides a comprehensive overview of a company's emissions profile. By calculating and understanding your CCF, you can identify cost-effective CO2 reduction opportunities and manage greenhouse gas risks effectively. Additionally, it opens the door to support climate goals by participating in compensation projects through the purchase of CO2 certificates.

Many companies already record their greenhouse gas emissions for a variety of reasons. The carbon footprint is used in sustainability reports, is part of voluntary climate protection programmes or is mandatory to participate in emissions trading. Companies reognise the increasing pressure from politics and society to operate sustainability and use the Carbon Footprnt to be able to transparently communicate their impact on climate change. At the same time, carbon footprint enables the identification of cost-effective CO2 reduction opportunities and the management of greenhouse gas risks. 

The Corporate Carbon Footprint (CCF) according to ISO 14064 is divided into three scopes. Scope 1 takes into ccount direct emissions from the company's vehiles and facilities, Thi means, that, for example, no rented or leased vehicles are included here (only in Scope 3). Scope 2 includes indirect emissions from imported energy, i.e. primarily electricity. In Scope 3, all other indirect emissions are taken into account. Here, a materiality analysis is carried out to identify the main emission sources. 

Based on the calculated values of a carbon foorprint, compensation projects can be supported through the purchase of so-called CO2 certificates. In this way, a contribution cn be made to the climate goals. We would be happy to advise you on this topic.
