A carbon account isn’t just another reporting requirement — it’s a strategic tool that helps your company understand its CO₂ emissions and overall climate impact.
With a solid carbon account, you can document your sustainability efforts to customers, investors, and business partners — while laying the foundation for concrete actions that reduce your company’s environmental footprint.
At Grant Thornton, we help you get started — whether you run a small business or already have advanced ESG reporting in place. With many years of experience turning complex calculations into clear insights, we tailor the process to fit your business model, industry, and resources.
A carbon account is an overview of your company’s emissions of CO₂ and other greenhouse gases (CO₂e). It includes both direct emissions from your own activities and indirect emissions from your value chain.
We use the Greenhouse Gas Protocol (GHG Protocol) — the world’s most widely recognised standard for calculating CO₂ emissions. The climate impact is divided into three scopes:
Direct emissions
Emissions that come directly from your company’s own operations — for example, from your vehicle fleet, leaks from refrigeration systems, or the combustion of fossil fuels.
Indirect energy emissions
Emissions from the production of energy purchased and consumed by your company — for example, electricity use in offices or district heating and cooling of buildings.
Indirect value chain emissions
Emissions from the entire value chain — such as business travel and purchased goods (upstream), as well as waste management, distribution, and product disposal (downstream).
Scope 3 often accounts for 80–95% of a company’s total climate impact and is therefore a crucial part of a complete carbon account.
Turning CO₂ data into actionable insight
A good carbon account is not just about reporting — it’s about understanding what drives your emissions and how to set reduction targets, create an action plan, and take responsibility for your company’s sustainable development.
At Grant Thornton, we focus on both accuracy and efficiency. We know that manual calculations can quickly become resource-intensive and prone to errors. That’s why we use digital tools and well-structured processes to ensure reliable ESG data — without overburdening your organisation.
As a combined audit and advisory firm, we can also issue an assurance statement for your carbon account, enhancing trust among customers, investors, and other stakeholders.
An assurance statement is a strong signal of transparency, accountability, and serious ESG reporting.
Strong partnerships for reliable CO₂ data and ESG reporting
We collaborate with Climaider and Verarca to offer a solution that gives your company a precise overview of its CO₂ emissions — while significantly reducing your administrative workload, all at an affordable price.
Our approach remains the same: one step at a time. But with Climaider and Verarca on board, we can help you go even further.
This partnership ensures that your ESG reporting is built on a broad, solid, and professional data foundation.
