Decarbo’Solution®, pionnier du bilan carbone 100% digital depuis 2012
Carrying out a Bilan GES, accompanied by Bilan Carbone consulting services, involves quantifying an organization's greenhouse gas emissions. Such an assessment enables a company, local authority or any other organization to obtain an accurate evaluation of its direct emissions or those induced by its activity, so as to be able to design and implement a plan to reduce its emissions.
This initiative is fully in line with the indispensable dynamics of an ecological transition geared towards low-carbon and decarbonized energies, and of permanent improvement of energy efficiencý instilled by the Paris Agreement.
What does this international agreement entail? In order to combat global warming, which is becoming increasingly acute, the agreement calls for carbon neutrality to be achieved by 2050. To achieve this ambitious goal, France has subsequently published a roadmap for all public and private organizations, indicating that a reduction in emissions by all is urgently required.
A reduction of CO2 emissions implies first of all an accounting of these emissions. The greenhouse gas balance is the tool used to achieve a complete and compliant accounting of an organization's emissions.
If ADEME was ahead of the game with the creation of its Carbon Footprint in 2004 and the realization of a greenhouse gas assessment on an excel file, there are now platforms just as complete but more accessible for non-professionals in the field.
La plateforme Decarbo’Solution® permet de réaliser votre bilan GES englobant les 3 scopes d’émissions directes et indirectes en toute autonomie ou accompagné par un expert bilan carbone.
Carbon footprint = management tool
The fight against global warming is an objective for many companies. However, the realization of a GHG assessment is also an essential strategic management tool to improve the economic and societal performance of a company.
Calculating the carbon footprint of your company means you can :
- To give credibility and value to a CSR approach;
- Anticipate stakeholder demands;
- Obtaining cost-saving levers;
- Optimize your business model;
- Innovate in its process or its productions;
- Differentiate yourself in the market;
- Retain your employees;
- Meet the regulations.
The benefits of a greenhouse gas assessment outweigh the disadvantages. Minimizing emissions for the climate is not only beneficial for the environment but also for the company. The carbon neutrality imposed by the Paris Agreement becomes an advantage for companies that can make significant savings and invest these savings in the development of their organization.

Within the framework of the fight against climate change, the carbon assessment has become increasingly popular. If before the Paris Agreement there were few service providers who could perform such an assessment, they are much more numerous today.
A complete greenhouse gas balance sheet is generally produced in the format established by ADEME in 2004, i.e. an Excel file. However, this format makes the reporting process complicated, and only specialized people who have received training in the use of the tool are able to carry out a complete balance sheet using a spreadsheet.
Au fil des années et avec la question de l’écologie de plus en plus intégrée dans les mœurs, plusieurs calculateurs se sont développés sur le marché et encore plus depuis quelques mois. Decarbo’Solution® (Decarbo’Solution®) en est le pionnier de cette offre.
La plateforme de services Decarbo’Solution® propose depuis 2012 aux entreprises privées et publiques, organisations et collectivités de toutes natures et tailles, des outils et services en ligne pour identifier, calculer, réduire leur empreinte carbone, en toute conformité avec les textes, référentiels, standards et normes internationales. La méthodologie utilisée s’appuie sur l’analyse et le challenge permanent des différents travaux existants et dont la pertinence est reconnue à ce jour, tels que Base Carbone®, CE DELFT, Shift project, ADEME, ISO, les comptes nationaux du transport, etc.
A complete, accurate, easy to perform, compliant and accessible online assessment
Le calculateur Decarbo’Solution® vous permet d’obtenir un bilan GES exhaustif sur les trois scopes et concernant les 7 postes réglementaires d’émissions suivants : Déplacements, Matériaux et Services entrants, Énergie, Réfrigérants, Consommation d’eau, et Déchets.
It also estimates the impact of your activity on the climate at any given moment in the form of targeted reporting on the main emission items of your sector's activities.
A 100% digital calculator, its proven ergonomics and pedagogy enable users to be pro-active quickly, and to use it 24/7.
Once the emissions have been gathered according to the regulatory items, it is easy to identify the levers of action to reduce emissions. The platform will help you define your low-carbon strategy through reduction solutions.
Reductions can be of multiple kinds depending on the business sector. The reduction can for example apply to a change of energy. Indeed, a decarbonated energy such as a renewable or nuclear energy is to be preferred compared to a fossil energy.
Once the reduction has been made, voluntary compensation can also be applied. This consists of investing in carbon credits in a company that promotes reforestation or the development of alternative energies.
La plateforme Decarbo’Solution®, une ergonomie unique
The calculator proposes, in a first phase, the choice of a generic questionnaire in accordance with your sector of activity. About twenty templates are currently available (offices, factories, freight, events, ...). Each user will then be able to customize it and quantify the GHG emissions of his company by simply rolling out questions targeted to his activity.
The result of the assessment is expressed in tons of CO2 equivalent (tCO2e). It is communicated by regulatory item and by scope and thus makes it possible to follow the overall evolution of emissions but also in a more targeted way.
Thus a user will be able to easily visualize if he needs to reduce his energy consumption or simply to use renewable or decarbonized energies such as nuclear. The actions he takes can be integrated into the platform to visualize them over time and quantify them.
A low-carbon strategy can be set up and visualized. Carbon neutrality can then be determined according to the objectives of each organization.
A communication platform
Le bilan GES est un outil de communication fort. Decarbo’Solution® encourage les entreprises à le communiquer auprès de leurs parties prenantes, des équipes internes, ainsi que sur son site internet et les réseaux sociaux de l’entreprise. Pour cela, Decarbo’Solution® met à disposition un rapport documenté, valorisant et facile à diffuser.
Calls for tenders are increasingly asking for the carbon footprint of companies. The carbon criterion has become important in the choice of a partner as it is a new strong commercial argument.
Assistance in developing a decarbonation and contribution/offsetting strategy
The platform also provides tools to develop and implement action plans to reduce emissions, as well as contribution/offset programs.
L’autonomie ainsi atteinte avec les outils Decarbo’Solution® permet d’optimiser les ressources de conseil nécessaires à la mise en œuvre de la stratégie de décarbonation dans l’entreprise.
Si la réalisation d’un bilan GES s’avère un peu trop complexe, notamment la première année, la plateforme Decarbo’Solution® a référencé des experts Decarbo’Solution® sur le terrain qui favoriseront auprès de celle-ci la diffusion de bonnes pratiques pour prendre en compte les enjeux climatiques.
