Yes. It is scalable and adaptable to regional and global operations. Specific configurations can be adjusted with our technical team.
No. With the white label model, data collection is decentralized and carried out directly by suppliers, who receive technical support and guidance during onboarding to ensure the quality and standardization of the information entered. This makes the process more agile and secure, avoiding communication failures and delays.
It is a specialized service that measures the carbon footprint associated with events, whether in-person or online. The assessment considers all activities related to the event, such as energy consumption, participant transportation, material use, catering and suppliers, generating a detailed inventory of greenhouse gas emissions.
The methodology is flexible and can be applied to any type of event, from small corporate meetings to large international conferences, cultural events, fairs and even fully virtual events. This enables a comprehensive assessment of the carbon footprint, regardless of size or format.
To ensure greater accuracy, we request data such as:
Even if some data is not available, our team can use estimates based on similar events to ensure calculation reliability.
Yes, our team uses recognized methodologies and industry best practices to fill gaps with well-founded estimates, ensuring a useful and applicable calculation for planning and improving future events. However, the more real data provided, the more robust the generated report will be.
The calculation follows recognized international standards, such as the GHG Protocol, which is the main framework for emissions accounting, in addition to GET (Green Events Tool), a UN-supported methodology specially developed to measure and reduce emissions at events. This combination ensures transparency, reliability and alignment with global best practices.
We deliver a detailed PDF report containing:
This report serves as a basis for decision making and can be shared with stakeholders.
Yes. We offer options for offsetting emissions through certified carbon credits, aligned with internationally recognized projects, such as renewable energy and forest conservation. This allows the organization to neutralize the environmental impact of the event, contributing to sustainability goals and corporate image.
ENGIE, the largest company generating 100% renewable energy in Brazil, is a partner of Decarbonize. It has about 10 GW of its own installed capacity across 77 plants, sourced exclusively from renewable sources.
Inno has supported over 500 innovations in sustainable energy and invested in more than 200 companies, all on track to generate €110 billion in revenue and cumulatively save 2,1 gigatonnes of CO₂ and by 2030
Carbon accounting is the process of measuring, tracking and reporting greenhouse gas emissions, as defined by the GHG Protocol.
The GHG Protocol is the main international standard for measuring and managing greenhouse gas emissions, developed by the WRI and WBCSD. It guides companies to classify their emissions into three scopes (1, 2 and 3) and provides guidelines for transparent and comparable reports.
The GHG Protocol ensures credibility for emission inventories, facilitates participation in regulated and voluntary markets, and is accepted by initiatives like CDP, SBTi and TCFD.
The FGV (Fundação Getulio Vargas) is a Brazilian reference institution in economic and environmental methodologies. MITECO is the Ministry for Ecological Transition of Spain, responsible for climate and environmental policies. UK DEFRA is the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs of the United Kingdom, which publishes widely used emission factors in carbon inventories.
In our platform, we use emission factors, methodological references and public data made available by these institutions, in an adapted and transparent way. This ensures that our calculations are consistent with internationally recognized standards.
We also use other reliable public sources for data from different countries, and have flexibility to add specific sources as needed by the client or local regulatory requirements. This way, we offer auditable and traceable inventories, without relying on proprietary methodologies, maintaining technical compliance with the best global practices.
Yes, definitely! By contracting Descarbonize, you ensure that your climate strategies and actions are in full compliance with the latest regulations and best market practices, both nationally and internationally.
Our expertise covers:
It depends. Some companies are already required by law to report their emissions, and with the arrival of the SBCE (Brazilian Emissions Trading System), more sectors will be included. However, many organizations already do this voluntarily to meet investor, client and ESG commitments.
No. It is possible to carry out the inventory with the support of our consultancy, with or without the platform. However, using the platform offers gains in agility, traceability and continuous data management.
Collection can be done via structured spreadsheets or directly on the platform. There is always a technical onboarding process to ensure data quality and consistency.
Yes. We assist in organizing evidence, technical review of the inventory and support throughout the external audit process.
Scopes are categories that organize greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions according to their source, according to the Greenhouse Gas Protocol (GHG Protocol) – the most widely used international standard for emission inventories.
Yes. We work comprehensively in the main Scope 3 categories, according to the GHG Protocol, including purchased goods and services, transport (upstream and downstream), product use, travel, among others.
We work with various Scope 3 categories, with special focus on annual emissions, and also those related to product life cycle. This includes, for example:
The mandatory nature of carrying out a greenhouse gas (GHG) inventory and emission compensation varies according to legislation and sector of activity.
GHG Inventory: Currently in Brazil, the mandatory nature of preparing and publishing the GHG inventory is provided for some categories of companies and specific sectors, especially those listed in certain regulations or seeking specific financing and certifications.
With the imminent implementation of the Brazilian Emissions Trading System (SBCE), through PL 25.024/2024, the inventory will become a fundamental requirement for a much larger number of companies, which will need to monitor, report and verify their emissions to participate in the regulated market. In addition, many companies carry out the inventory voluntarily to meet market requirements, investors, sustainability reports (ESG) and to identify reduction opportunities.
Emission compensation is not universally mandatory, but has become an increasingly relevant and valued practice. It is required in specific scenarios, such as:
Even when there is no legal obligation, carrying out the inventory and compensating emissions are strategic steps for climate risk management, innovation and positioning your brand in the market.
Yes. We closely monitor national regulations (such as PL 25.024/2024) and international ones (such as the EU CBAM). We prepare your company to participate in the Brazilian Emissions Trading System (SBCE) and operate in regulated and voluntary markets with credibility.
Yes. Our services strictly follow national and international standards. This includes GHG Protocol, ESG guidelines, sustainability frameworks and future SBCE requirements.
Descarbonize's White Label model is a solution that allows suppliers to directly enter their emission data into our platform, automatically assigning the corresponding percentage to the hiring company. This facilitates the decentralization of data collection, reduces the operational burden of the hiring company's team and increases the transparency and autonomy of suppliers, while ensuring the consistency and integrity of data for auditable inventories. Additionally, the White Label software allows companies to calculate and monitor emissions from Scopes 1, 2 and 3, engage suppliers, set reduction targets and export customized reports — all with a fully customizable interface to reflect the organization's visual identity.
No. With the white label model, data collection is decentralized and carried out directly by suppliers, who receive technical support and guidance during onboarding to ensure the quality and standardization of the information entered. This makes the process more agile and secure, avoiding communication failures and delays.
Yes. We have projects in the European Union and South America, with multilingual support (Portuguese, English, French, German and Spanish).
Yes. We calculate the carbon footprint of in-person and online events, with visual reports, insights and compensation possibility.
