Measure Your Carbon Footprint
Start your decarbonization journey with confidence in your GHG measurement
Time is running out in the fight against climate change. To make a difference, you must understand where you’re starting from and where the most impactful reductions can be made. 3Degrees will help you prioritize climate action by identifying your full emissions profile, allowing you to develop a credible strategy to reduce them. Many regulations including California SB-253, the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), or the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) require GHG measurement. Additionally, credible target frameworks, like the Science Based Target Initiative (SBTi), emphasize the importance of measurement as the first step toward developing a viable reduction pathway to help limit global warming to 1.5°C.
We’re in this together. Let’s get started making significant progress on your decarbonization journey.
The 3Degrees team has created over 200 GHG inventories
Our approach to GHG measurement
3Degrees will help advance your organization’s decarbonization goals with credible emissions measurement that aligns with the Greenhouse Gas Protocol (GHGP).
We consider measurement an iterative process that involves:
- Completing an initial screen of your emissions profile
- Zeroing in on emissions’ hot spots to refine the data inputs
- Pinpointing areas for optimization in data collection
- Giving you the tools to update your data collection year after year
There are also a number of methodologies for measurement beyond the GHGP that get into industry-specific calculations. The 3Degrees team has expertise across many of these guidance frameworks, like SBTi’s Forest, Land, and Agriculture (FLAG) and the Partnership for Carbon Accounting Financials (PCAF), to name a few. We know that each of our clients have different needs and we tailor our measurement to meet those needs.
3Degrees’ scope 3 screening tool
3Degrees consultants can help clients complete a scope 3 screen with our own in-house screening tool, enabling them to gain an understanding of their value chain emissions with preliminary measurement.
Alongside our team of consultants, the tool:
- Has sector-specific granularity, spanning nearly 1,000 different sectors
- Is precise based on your individual operations and activities
- Simplifies the data collection process and takes the high level data you have available, be it spend data, miles traveled, or tons of waste, and provides you with a screen of your scope 3 emissions
Suggested insights
Find out the steps involved in building a comprehensive greenhouse gas (GHG) inventory for your value chain emissions.
In this webinar, we walk through how to measure financed emissions with an overview of GHG accounting and the general methodology of the Partnership for Carbon Accounting Financials (PCAF).
One of the four steps your organization can take to set a credible climate goal is GHG measurement. Learn the other three in 3Degrees’ position paper.
