Carbon Accounting
Emissions you can account for. Numbers you can defend.
Carbon accounting is not about estimating your impact. It is about measuring it with the precision and traceability that auditors, investors, and procurement teams require.
GHG Protocol
Understanding Scope 1, 2, and 3
Direct emissions
Greenhouse gas emissions from sources owned or controlled by the organisation: combustion in owned boilers, vehicles, and industrial processes. The most straightforward to measure, but rarely the largest category.
Purchased energy
Indirect emissions from the generation of purchased electricity, heat, steam, or cooling. Can be reported using location-based or market-based methods; the choice has significant implications for reduction strategy.
Value chain emissions
All other indirect emissions across the supply chain: purchased goods and services, capital goods, upstream and downstream transport, product use, and end-of-life treatment. Typically 70–90% of total footprint. Required for CSRD and increasingly demanded by buyers.
Deliverables
What Acrypt delivers
Emissions baseline
Full Scope 1, 2, and 3 inventory for the base year, with primary data where available and documented assumptions where not.
Data gap analysis
Identification of where primary data is missing and where estimation increases uncertainty. Prioritised by materiality.
GHG Protocol alignment
Methodology fully aligned with the GHG Protocol Corporate Standard and Scope 3 Standard. All calculation approaches documented.
Reduction pathway
Modelling of reduction scenarios by scope, category, and intervention to identify the most material opportunities.
Annual reporting framework
A repeatable methodology and data collection process for year-on-year comparability. Reduces effort in subsequent reporting cycles.
CSRD-ready documentation
Output structured for ESRS E1 disclosure: traceable, verified, and formatted for inclusion in a CSRD report.
