Step two

We calculate your complete footprint

GHG Protocol emission factors are applied automatically across all categories. The result: a complete, explainable Scope 1, 2 & 3 footprint — per category, per location, per year.

GHG Protocol emission factors

Updated annually from authoritative national registries and IPCC AR6. Applied automatically — you never need to look up a conversion factor.

Complete Scope 1, 2 & 3 coverage

Every emission source covered: from your gas heating to your supply chain purchases. The exact breakdown your customers are asking for.

Per-category transparency

Every number is traceable to its source data point. No black boxes. Auditors and customers can follow the calculation.

Multi-location & multi-entity

Multiple offices, warehouses, or subsidiaries handled in a single measurement. Consolidate or report separately — your choice.

03
Step three

A shareable report. Ready in days.

Once your footprint is calculated, CO₂ Expert generates a GHG Protocol-compliant report you can send to any customer, bank, or procurement team immediately.
