Frequently asked questions
The fastest way to establish your baseline is by using the Green Earth CO2 Expert carbon footprint calculator. It is designed to remove the friction from traditional carbon accounting, allowing your team to quickly identify emission hotspots across your business operations and establish a clear starting point for environmental action and carbon strategies.
Yes. Green Earth offers expert validation services to ensure your data is accurate and completely audit-ready. We rigorously review your greenhouse gas inventory and methodology against international standards like the GHG Protocol. By independently verifying your calculations and closing any data gaps, we ensure you can confidently report your climate metrics to stakeholders, investors, and regulators.
A PCF measures the total greenhouse gas emissions generated by a specific product—from raw material extraction through to end-of-life disposal. Calculating your PCFs with Green Earth helps you answer growing supply chain demands from enterprise clients, differentiate your brand, and provide transparent data to environmentally conscious consumers.
While a basic corporate footprint looks at your company’s overall operational emissions, an LCA is a deep, rigorous scientific analysis of the environmental impact of a specific product or service across its entire lifespan. Green Earth guides you through complex LCAs to provide the granular data you need to actively redesign products and reduce emissions at the source.
Yes. An EPD is a standardised, verified document that transparently communicates a product's environmental performance (based directly on its LCA). Our experts help you compile and structure the precise data required to publish credible EPDs, allowing you to prove your sustainability claims in B2B and B2C markets.
Absolutely. Whether you are using our footprint calculator or conducting a full LCA, Green Earth ensures your data aligns with rigorous international standards like the GHG Protocol and ISO frameworks. We prepare you to meet the strictest global compliance requirements, including the SEC climate disclosure rules and Europe's CSRD.
As of now, reporting carbon emissions is mandatory for certain large companies in the EU, and the scope of this requirement is set to expand significantly. The Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) will require all large EU companies to provide detailed reports on their carbon emissions among other environmental impacts. This directive applies to large companies that meet specific criteria regarding their size, turnover, and employee numbers.
While it is not yet mandatory for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to report their emissions, the environment is changing. Large companies, under the CSRD, may start requiring their suppliers and partners in the value chain to report their emissions as well. This means that increasingly, more companies, regardless of size, will need to start reporting on their carbon emissions to maintain business relationships with larger firms. Considerations like Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) criteria are also becoming more key for all stakeholders.
Starting early with carbon reporting can be beneficial. Early adoption allows your company more time to develop efficient processes for data collection, establish baselines, and implement improvements in environmental performance. It also positions your company as a responsible and forward-thinking partner, ready to meet upcoming regulatory requirements and stakeholder expectations. Thus, even if not yet mandatory for your business, beginning the process of reporting and addressing carbon emissions can provide strategic advantages and help smooth the transition as regulations evolve.
Measurement is only the beginning. Once Green Earth helps you calculate your footprint and identify reduction strategies, we provide a seamless next step. You can transition directly from measuring your impact to neutralising your residual emissions with our high-integrity carbon credits from our actively managed nature-restoration projects.
