Carbon Accounting

Structured. Reliable. Ready for audit.

 

Capra Sustainability supports companies in calculating their carbon footprint through customized software and sustainability expertise. We centralize data, automate calculations, and ensure correct emission factors – helping you reduce errors, cut administrative workload, and scale carbon reporting with confidence.

Carbon Footprint calculation without complexity.

 

Carbon footprint calculation is becoming a core requirement for companies across industries – driven by regulation, customer expectations, and the need for credible sustainability reporting. However, many organizations struggle with unclear scopes, fragmented data, and manual workflows that make carbon accounting time-consuming and error-prone. Without the right structure and tools, repeating calculations, scaling across entities, or preparing for audits quickly becomes a major challenge.

This is where a structured, technology-enabled approach to carbon accounting becomes essential. By combining clear methodologies, reliable emission factors, and well-defined data governance, companies can turn carbon footprint calculation into a manageable, repeatable process — and a solid foundation for decision-making and compliance

Capra provides the carbon data infrastructure needed to track emissions across your value chain, streamline compliance workflows, and reduce the financial risks associated with CBAM.

Future-Proofed compliance with GHG Protocol updates

 

Upcoming changes in how Scope 1/2/3 emissions are defined and calculated will affect reporting requirements worldwide.

With Capra’s software, updates are handled centrally and automatically – so you remain compliant without manual revisions or guesswork.

How we can help
Key concerns our customers are facing:

What should be included in our carbon footprint?

Defining boundaries, scopes, and emission sources is often unclear. We help structure the calculation from the start, ensuring all relevant Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions are correctly identified and consistently applied.

How do we collect and manage data across the organization?

Carbon data is usually spread across teams, systems, and formats. We support companies in setting up a clear data governance model – defining who provides what data, when, and how – to avoid gaps, duplication, and last-minute scrambles

Which emission factors should we use, and how do we justify them?

Choosing the right emission factors is one of the most common sources of errors and audit findings. We ensure the use of appropriate, up-to-date emission factors and provide full traceability, so calculations are transparent and defensible.

Capra’s Carbon Accounting solution

Carbon Accounting

Capra Sustainability combines professional carbon accounting software with sustainability expertise to create a centralized system for data collection, calculation, and reporting.

Our solution covers the full process: defining organizational and operational boundaries, mapping emission sources across scopes, applying the correct emission factors, and automating calculations. The result is a repeatable, auditable carbon footprint calculation that reduces manual effort, minimizes errors, and scales as reporting requirements grow.

Carbon accounting through a structured, software-based approach tailored to each organization

What you can expect from our Carbon-accounting Approach

Capra translates the Carbon accounting requirements into an easy-to-follow process built for accuracy and efficiency. These core solution components ensure you stay compliant while reducing administrative burden.

 

Define boundaries and responsibilities

We establish the organizational structure, scopes, and ownership of emissions data, ensuring clarity on what is included and who is responsible across the organization.

 

Identify emission sources and collect data

We map all relevant emission sources across Scopes 1, 2, and 3 and centralize data collection through a governed, consistent process.

   

Apply emission factors and calculate results

We select and apply appropriate, up-to-date emission factors, ensuring calculations are accurate, transparent, and defensible.


 

         

Automate reporting and ensure audit readiness

Carbon footprint results are generated automatically in a structured, auditable format – making repetition, scaling, and verification significantly easier.

 

Use cases
Examples of how our solutions can help your business
Too much time spent on manual work

Carbon footprint calculations often rely on spreadsheets, emails, and back-and-forth with multiple teams. This creates a heavy administrative burden and pulls people away from higher-value work.

Lack of confidence in the numbers

When data is incomplete or emission factors are unclear, results are hard to trust. This makes it difficult to share figures internally, externally, or with auditors.

 

High audit effort and costs

Unstructured calculations lead to long audit cycles, repeated questions, and higher verification costs. Businesses want carbon data that is easy to explain and defend.

Difficulty repeating and scaling the calculation

What works once rarely works again. Companies struggle to repeat the calculation year after year, expand it to new entities, or include more Scope 3 categories without starting over.

Master your carbon footprint with confidence

Capra equips your organization with the structure, software, and expertise needed to calculate, manage, and report emissions accurately. Transform carbon accounting into a clear, auditable process that supports compliance, reduces risk, and enables confident decision-making.
