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.
