The ultimate Carbon Footprint Calculator
After testing over 120 carbon footprint calculators, we found something was always missing. So, we developed our own.
Our emission factors, crucial for calculating greenhouse gas emissions, are sourced from reliable data collections like ADEME, BEIS, DEFRA, EPA, IEA, IPCC, EcoInvent, EXIOBASE/USEEIO, EPD, scientific studies, and concrete supplier data. We ensure high accuracy with a stringent safety margin of 3.01 (on a scale of 1 to 5).
We’re proud to offer pioneering forms for calculating carbon footprints, the first of their kind globally.
Support Throughout All Phases:
- CALC01: Project management and communication
- CALC02: Energy
- CALC03: Mobility
- CALC04: Purchasing and ordering
- CALC05: Venue and event production
- CALC06: Waste and water
- CALC07: Exhibition
- CALC08: Catering
- CALC09: Hotel accommodation
Our forms significantly simplify the time-consuming process of gathering data, complete with valuable tips.
