Our Solution: Efficient Carbon Emissions Manager & Analytics Tool
Our proprietary Carbon Emissions Manager & Analytics Tool calculates and measures greenhouse gas emissions. It supports detailed analysis of the costs and CO₂ emissions associated with processes and products.
The tool uses a bottom-up approach to provide transparency across the critical factors involved in producing and distributing products and services. It helps customers understand their environmental impact and how their products and services compare with applicable standards.
Using parameters such as material characteristics, energy consumption and distribution methods, we calculate CO2 emissions in line with recognised standards. The resulting report supports companies in measuring their environmental impact and deciding how to reduce their carbon footprint.

CO2 Emissions Management Tool: Full Transparency in a Real-World Example
Our clear and transparent approach gives users the foundation they need to understand their CO2 exposure and the available routes towards NETZERO.
-
1. CO₂ Footprint
The CO₂ footprint of a process includes carbon dioxide and the CO₂ equivalents of all greenhouse gas emissions it generates. This covers production facilities, supply chains, components, raw materials and distribution.
-
2. Manufacturing
The CO₂ footprint of a manufacturing process includes emissions from production facilities, supply chains, components, raw materials and distribution.
-
3. Evaluation of Existing Processes
Our CO2 Management Tool evaluates existing processes while considering associated costs and available improvement methods. We can also work with customer-specific data.

4. The Report
Our final report uses clear visualisations to identify CO2 hotspots. It suggests practical remedies, including interim carbon credits and long-term actions aimed at reaching NETZERO.
Carbon Credits
Carbon credits are a market-based mechanism used to address greenhouse gas emissions and combat climate change. Each credit represents the reduction, removal or avoidance of one metric tonne of carbon dioxide, or its equivalent in other greenhouse gases.
The application of carbon credits involves two main processes:
Carbon Offsetting:
Companies or individuals can purchase carbon credits from projects or initiatives that have effectively reduced greenhouse gas emissions. These projects can include renewable energy installations, reforestation efforts, energy efficiency programs, or waste management initiatives. By purchasing carbon credits, businesses and individuals can offset their own emissions and contribute to global emission reduction goals.
Compliance and Trading:
In some regions, governments have implemented cap and trade systems or carbon markets. Under these systems, companies are assigned a limit or cap on the amount of greenhouse gases they can emit. If a company exceeds its emission allowance, it can purchase carbon credits from other companies that have surplus allowances. This enables companies to comply with emission regulations while incentivizing emission reductions through the trading of carbon credits.
Our international network and investment expertise allow us to source carbon credits for a range of applications. These credits can help clients address their remaining carbon footprint while supporting projects that reduce or remove emissions in pursuit of NETZERO.

Common Challenges in CO2 Emissions Calculations
Most companies initially struggle to identify their emissions hotspots and determine which measures can deliver sustainable cost and emissions reductions.
Internal understanding and consensus are essential. A more detailed analysis and cost calculation can then address the identified challenges. This process helps turn weaknesses into opportunities and strengthens the organisation over time.
Environmental standards increasingly require products to be developed, produced and transported in a climate-conscious way. The sooner a company identifies its CO2 emissions hotspots and begins making changes, the sooner it can progress towards climate neutrality.
Current regulations provide a framework, but implementation must be tailored to each company. Consumer demand for sustainably developed and produced products is also growing. Companies that want to meet these expectations should make long-term climate neutrality a clear objective.
