Frequently Asked Questions – Carbon Accounting & Net Zero


Carbon accounting is the process of measuring and tracking greenhouse gas emissions across an organisation.


Net Zero means balancing emissions with reductions or offsets to achieve zero net emissions.


Scope 1 covers direct emissions, Scope 2 covers energy-related indirect emissions, and Scope 3 covers value chain emissions.


Carbon accounting helps organisations measure emissions, manage climate risks, support ESG reporting, and meet regulatory requirements.


A Net Zero roadmap is a structured plan to reduce emissions and achieve carbon neutrality over time.
