Carbon accounting

In a time where sustainability and climate responsibility are crucial to business success, carbon accounting has become an essential part of corporate strategy. By measuring and understanding your company’s carbon footprint, you gain not only insight into your environmental impact, but also the tools to take responsibility and act. 

At Norion, we support businesses in navigating these complex calculations and turning them into value-creating initiatives. We ensure that your carbon accounts can be used for whatever you need – including ESG (Environment, Social og Governance) and Science Based Targets (SBTi). 

We guide you through the entire process – from identifying your needs to final reporting. Our work is based on the internationally recognised GHG protocol,ensuring that your carbon calculations not only meet the required standards but can also be integrated into your ESG reporting and your work with Science Based Targets.

We’ve developed a user-friendly carbon calculation tool that makes it easy for businesses to manage their carbon accounting. The tool provides a clear overview of your emissions, highlights which scopes and categories contribute the most, and helps you track progress over time. It adheres to the GHG Protocol and can be used for all types of reporting.  

Prefer other platforms such as Klimakompasset, Klappir or BeWo? We can assist you with those as well.

    What is Carbon accounting?

    A carbon footprint is a calculation of your company's carbon footprint – that is, a calculation of the emissions of CO₂ and other greenhouse gases (CO₂e) that arise as a result of your company's and value chain's activities. The carbon footprint takes into account both your company's direct emissions, but also indirect emissions in your value chain, such as suppliers and customers, which can be included in the total calculation.

    Carbon accounting is divided in three scopes:

    • Scope 1: Direct emissions from your own operations, e.g. from vehicles or production facilities.
    • Scope 2: Indirect emissions from energy consumption, such as electricity or district heating.
    • Scope 3: Other indirect emissions from the entire value chain, e.g. suppliers, transportation and the use of your products.

    From 2024, large companies will have to comply with new sustainability reporting requirements under the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD). This means that they must report their CO₂e emissions within scopes 1, 2 and 3, which cover emissions from both the company itself and its value chain.

    Although the new requirements do not apply to all SMEs, you may still find yourself being asked for ESG data from clients, especially if you work with larger companies. This could be about your CO₂e emissions, transport or ethical aspects of production. Here, a climate report can provide you with the necessary answers.
