Easy as
Scope 1,2,3
At Standard Carbon we want to make GHG inventories as easy as Scope 1,2,3 (a little GHG auditor humor)
When conducting a GHG inventory Standard Carbon has the ability to measure your Scope 1,2, and yes, even those tricky scope 3 emissions. Scope 3 has been famously defined as hard to track as they account for all indirect emissions from a company’s supply chain, yet they can make up for almost 80% of your carbon footprint.
Standard Carbon cares about that 80%
Calculating your company’s carbon footprint is our job, but understanding exactly what we measure is useful information for you and your business. View the image below to see some examples of Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions.

Frequently Asked
Questions
Standard Carbon can help you understand Carbon Footprint reports. These Frequently Asked Questions below help with most queries. If you can’t find the answer to your question, feel free to Contact Us.
What is a Carbon Footprint?
A carbon footprint is generated when you or your business perform an action that creates green house gas emissions. For example, burning gasoline when we drive or use company vehicles, heating buildings and using coal powered electricity. The main goal of a Carbon footprint report is to identify the major sources of the company’s emissions so then appropriate actions can be taken. Unlike other Carbon Footprint calculators Standard Carbon reports include emissions from the entire company’s supply chain.
What is ESG?
ESG stands for Environmental Social Governance. These are a set of criteria used to measure a company’s sustainability. Meeting ESG goals are important for businesses of all sizes to thrive as the growing demand for climate action amongst consumers and inventors keep rising. Many businesses use carbon footprint reporting as a step to meet these goals and act before new climate policies come into place.
What are the advantages of knowing my carbon footprint?
Helping our planet starts with knowing your carbon footprint. A GHG inventory report provides your company with the information needed to make decisions to tackle climate change while saving money. Consumers and investors are concerned about their own environmental impact and react more positively with a business taking the necessary steps to reduce their carbon footprint in a transparent and effective way. Standard Carbon technology and ability to report all emissions means everyone involved can trust that the right steps are being taken. To read about more benefits click here.
Does the size of my business matter?
Not at all! At Standard Carbon we believe that all businesses should have the opportunity to help our environment. Whether you’re a ten-person company in Saskatoon, or a ten-thousand-person company in Winnipeg, we all have a carbon footprint and we can all become carbon neutral.
