As sustainability gains momentum, so does the confusion. Businesses are being asked for:
Carbon Accounting
GHG Accounting
Emissions Reporting
Carbon Footprints
Sustainability Reports
Environmental Impact Reports
The reality? These terms are often used interchangeably. At their core, they all refer to the same key process: Measuring your greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and using the data to take informed climate action or meet regulatory requirements.
The differences lie in:
The framework used (e.g., GHG Protocol, ISO 14064)
The scope covered (Scope 1, 2, 3 emissions)
The purpose (compliance, internal strategy, or communication)
At ECO2 Solutions, we make this process clear, accurate, and actionable. Whether you’re preparing your first footprint or reporting to stakeholders, we tailor the process to your business needs.
