Carbon Accounting

Carbon Accounting is the process of measuring the carbon dioxide equivalents of the amount of greenhouse gas emissions an organisation produces throughout its operations and supply chain.

 Businesses may account for carbon voluntarily to understand the environmental impact, as a result of legislation, or because of a requirement of supplier/customer.

 Oxley Partners Carbon Accounting Unit is trained to support businesses report on the three scopes (categories).

 Scope 1 Emissions – reporting direct Green House Gas (GHG) emissions.

 Scope 2 Emissions – reporting the organisation’s emissions associated with the generation of electricity, heating/cooling purchased for its consumption.

 Scope 3 Emissions – reporting the organisations indirect emissions other than those covered in Scope 3.
