Carbon Footprint Accounting
Climate change is considered to be one of the most important global environmental challenges of this century. It is a vital interest of companies to know and communicate the carbon footprints of their activities and their products and services. That is why more and more companies assess the carbon footprint of products and services (PCF). The British Standard PAS 2050 is the first product carbon footprint standard available worldwide. WBCSD/WRI, CEN and ISO are working on international standards of carbon footprints of products and of Scope 3 assessment of greenhouse gas emissions of companies.
ESU-services Ltd. has long experience in investigating the carbon footprint (or global warming potential) as one part of a detailed life cycle assessment. We performed and are performing several analyses of carbon footprints of individual persons, companies, products and the overall Swiss consumption patterns. With our work we support the development, refinement and update of CO2-calculators. Some of our studies have been published in several media. Furthermore we actively participate in the different standardisation initiatives mentioned above.
Working with us you get unbiased, transparent, fair and comprehensive carbon footprint analyses according to PAS 2050 or any other relevant (draft) standard. Our carbon footprint services include hints to other relevant environmental impacts (such as water use) along your supply chains.
We are not involved in CO2 emission trading nor in carbon offset projects. This ensures an independent, true and fair assessment of your CO2 emissions.
