Carbon footprinting with SimaPro
Understanding your company’s emission sources is essential, but gaining reliable insights can be complex. SimaPro helps you calculate your carbon footprint and identify where to act.
Sustainability starts here
Carbon footprinting is the first step to understanding greenhouse gas emissions across all scopes.
- Scope 1: direct emissions from owned or controlled sources
- Scope 2: indirect emissions from purchased electricity
- Scope 3: all other indirect emissions across the value chain
Communicating emissions and setting reduction targets can create real business value. With SimaPro, you can identify carbon hotspots and reduction opportunities, supporting transparent communication and collaboration with suppliers and clients.
Carbon footprinting made easy
Carbon footprint analysis requires robust data and structured modeling. SimaPro supports this with:
- Extensive environmental datasets across products and sectors
- Integration with widely used databases such as ecoinvent and Exiobase
- Global warming potentials based on the latest IPCC reports
- Flexible data input and structuring of company activities
Transparency is key
Reliable results depend on understanding how they are calculated. SimaPro provides full transparency into data sources and calculations, including dataset origins and assumptions.
You can report emissions separately (e.g. biogenic CO₂, land-use change) and group activities by business unit, region, or scope. This flexibility helps align results with standards such as the Greenhouse Gas Protocol and Environmental Organizational Footprint (OEF).
