Carbon footprint assessment means calculating greenhouse gas emissions.

Why is carbon footprint assessment important for companies?

European Union Regulations

  • CSRD (Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive) – requires all large companies and many smaller ones to report their carbon footprint.
  • CBAM (Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism) – imported products with a higher CO₂ footprint are subject to a carbon border tax.
  • Green Deal & Fit for 55 – the goal is to reduce CO₂ emissions and everyone is expected to contribute and deliver measurable results.

In the Estonian Context

  • Under the Energy Efficiency Directive, a mandatory carbon footprint assessment for new buildings and CO₂ emission limit values are being introduced.
  • In public procurement and grant schemes, carbon footprint data is increasingly required or used as an evaluation criterion.
We assist with carbon footprint assessment – data collection, calculations and reporting.
