Calculation of the carbon footprint is an important building block for climate protection in the corporate arena. The carbon footprinting of a company involves recording, calculating, and reporting all relevant greenhouse gas emissions. It takes into account emissions that are generated directly as a result of combustion in the company's facilities (Scope 1), the emissions from purchased energy, e.g. electricity or district heating (Scope 2), and indirect emissions e.g. from business trips and material usage (Scope 3).
The web-based sustainability software myclimate EcoCloud is used for data collection and CO₂ calculation. myclimate checks the plausibility of the data entered and at the end you receive the myclimate Impact Label “Engaged for Impact” as well as an overview of your company’s carbon footprint. There are two versions of this label:
The climate protection contribution based on the balanced emissions is invested in high-quality myclimate projects worldwide that meet the highest standards (Gold Standard, Plan Vivo, VCS (incl. CBB or SD-VISta).
Calculation of the carbon footprint is an important building block in climate protection. The carbon footprinting of an event involves calculating and reporting all relevant greenhouse gas emissions. This includes the emissions of the infrastructure (power consumption, heat energy, refrigeration), the journeys of the participants to the event, catering and lodging for the participants, and event-specific materials and waste.
This data is recorded and the CO₂ calculated with the web-based sustaiinability software myclimate EcoCloud. myclimate checks the plausibility of the data entered and at the end you receive the myclimate Label “Engaged for Impact” as well as an overview of the carbon footprint of your event.
The climate protection contribution based on the calculated emissions is invested in high-quality myclimate projects worldwide that meet the highest standards (Gold Standard, Plan Vivo, VCS (incl. CBB or SD-VISta). The projects reduce the emission of greenhouse gases, thus directly protecting the climate. However, climate protection projects not only reduce climate-impacting emissions, they also contribute to sustainable development in the project region.
The first step is to calculate the CO₂ emissions for the product or service (product carbon footprint). This involves analysing a product or service over its life cycle, so it takes into account all raw materials, transportation, production processes, and the use and disposal of a product.
Where the contribution to myclimate climate protection projects equates to all the relevant CO₂ emissions, your product or service receives the myclimate Label “Engaged for Impact”. Thanks to the tracking number that is integrated into the myclimate label, it is always possible to check which myclimate climate protection project is being supported.
