Corporate Carbon Footprint (GHG Accounting)

Measure. Report. Reduce.

Organisations are under increasing pressure to measure and report their greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions accurately. Whether driven by investor expectations, regulatory requirements, supply chain pressure, or voluntary sustainability commitments, credible carbon accounting is now essential.
DEKRA supports organisations with independent, standards-aligned corporate carbon footprint assessments and GHG accounting to help you understand your emissions profile and build a practical pathway to reduction.
Benefits of Corporate Carbon Footprint (GHG Accounting)
  • Clear emissions visibility across Scope 1, Scope 2 and Scope 3 activities
  • Improved energy and cost management through better operational insight
  • Supply chain transparency for customer and supplier sustainability requests
  • Credible ESG reporting aligned with recognised frameworks

What You Receive

A DEKRA corporate carbon footprint assessment provides structured, decision-ready outputs that can support both internal planning and external sustainability reporting.
Typical deliverables include:
  • Corporate carbon footprint report covering Scope 1, Scope 2 and Scope 3 emissions
  • Emissions breakdown by activity and operational area
  • Transparent methodology aligned with GHG Protocol and ISO standards
  • Emission intensity indicators for tracking performance over time
