Carbon footprint: measuring company emissions

Calculation of the organization's carbon footprint and support in the management, reduction and registration of emissions.

The organization's carbon footprint It calculates the greenhouse gas emissions generated by a company's activities. This analysis allows you to understand the organization's climate impact and define emissions reduction strategies.

More and more companies are performing this calculation to meet regulatory requirements, improve their environmental management, or strengthen their sustainability positioning.

At Incyma we help organizations to calculate your carbon footprint, define reduction plans, and register your emissions in official records.

Implementation of ISO 9001 quality management system in company.

What is an organization's carbon footprint?

The carbon footprint measures the greenhouse gas emissions associated with a company's activity during a certain period.

These emissions are usually classified into three levels:

  • Scope 1: direct emissions generated by the company's activity.

  • Scope 2: indirect emissions resulting from electricity consumption.

  • Scope 3: other indirect emissions related to the value chain.

The calculation is usually performed following recognized methodologies such as GHG Protocol o ISO 14064.

Auditor reviewing documentation of a quality management system.

What are the benefits of calculating your carbon footprint?

Analyzing the carbon footprint allows companies to understand the environmental impact of their activity and establish improvement measures.

Among the most common benefits are:

  • Identification of the main sources of emissions.
  • Improvement of the environmental and energy management.
  • Development of emissions reduction plans.
  • Greater transparency towards clients and administrations.

Carbon footprint calculation can also be integrated within environmental management systems such as the ISO 14001 Standard.

How to calculate the carbon footprint

The calculation of the carbon footprint is based on the collection of data on the company's activity, such as energy consumption, fuels or information on transport.

Based on this data, the following are applied recognized emission factors, which allow us to estimate the emissions generated.

The process usually includes:

  • Identification of emission sources.
  • Collection and analysis of activity data.
  • Calculation of greenhouse gas emissions.
  • Preparation of the carbon footprint report.
  • Definition of a emissions reduction plan.

In some cases, a process is also carried out external verification of the calculation.

Equality plans for companies are mandatory for companies with 50 or more employees.

Carbon footprint registration at MITECO

In Spain, companies can register their carbon footprint in the Carbon footprint registry of the Ministry for Ecological Transition (MITECO).

This registration allows organizations to demonstrate their commitment to reducing emissions and obtain the corresponding official carbon footprint seal.

Incyma supports companies in the Preparation of documentation and application for registration in the register.

How Incyma works on carbon footprint projects

At Incyma we develop projects in carbon footprint calculation adapted to the activity of each company.

The work begins with an initial analysis to identify emission sources and define the scope of the study. Based on this diagnosis, we calculate emissions, prepare the carbon footprint report, and help define emissions reduction measures.

When requested by the organization, we also accompany the process of verification and registration of the carbon footprint at MITECO.

Team analyzing quality indicators and continuous improvement.
