What are the benefits of carrying out a Greenhouse Gas Emission Assessment (GHGEA) on a quality online platform?
At a time when the future carbon tax base is becoming increasingly clear (quotas, import carbon tax, etc.) and the scale of the additional costs it will represent for businesses, companies are also faced with a growing number of new legal and commercial constraints that require them to better control and manage their GHG emissions, within a constantly evolving regulatory framework.
Presented by the European Commission in July 2021, the European Green Pact, which aims to reduce the European Union's GHG emissions by 55% by 2030, logically programs an acceleration in the rise in the price of Carbon, already strong since 2015. The introduction of the CSRD (Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive) further strengthens reporting and transparency requirements on the climate impact of corporate activities.
Companies wishing to remain competitive and ensure their long-term survival must therefore adopt an emissions reduction strategy without delay, and equip themselves with the means to manage it on a day-to-day basis, in particular by integrating all emissions into their scope of analysis, including scopes 1, 2 and 3.
The calculation method of the BEGES, commonly called "GHG inventory®".
To support them in their low-carbon approach and to carry out this BEGES, many service offers, from consultants or online, have been developed for public and private companies.
The Bilan Carbone©methodology is the documented result of a calculation method developed by ADEME and inspired by the GHG Protocol, which takes into account all the GHG emissions generated by the company's activities, over its entire perimeter and according to the different scopes. The Bilan accounts for all direct and indirect emissions, from research and development to the manufacture of the final product, including in-store distribution and final disposal.
The " GHG inventory® " software
The range of onlinecarbon footprint calculation tools on the market is very attractive, as it means that companies are no longer dependent on the lead times, costs, latency and temporality of traditional consultants. What's more, traditional consultants have understood that they need to focus on supporting organizations in their transition, and no longer penalize them for taking into account their carbon data in real time, in order to improve them interactively. This encourages the rapid implementation of action plans to decarbonize and improve energy performance.
However, this "online" offer, which has been very rich over the past two years, seems to have little differentiation and is very "marketing" oriented .... and is often misleading.
Only one tool is recommended by the public authorities for carrying out the GHG inventory®, and that's the Bilan Carbone © software proposed by the ABC association and sponsored by ADEME (Agence de la Transition écologique). Find out more about Bilan Carbone v7.
Other solutions rely surprisingly on the credibility of recognized NGOs, which are not, however, in the business or the competence, and which very often do not respect the GHG Protocol, and even less the GHG inventory® method, which is the only authentic method in France.
These full-web solutions are very simple, if not simplistic, and do not enable us to carry out a complete, certified assessment but, at best, an initial estimate of GHG emissions. They do, however, have the advantage of being free and educational, and of providing an order of magnitude of the organization's carbon footprint, which is useful for raising awareness of the climate approach among employees and associated parties.
In certain cases, it is also possible toobtain subsidies to carry out a carbon footprint, which facilitates compliance with regulatory requirements and the transition to a low-carbon economy.

Grâce à son outil en ligne de mesure simple et précis, et pédagogique, Decarbo’Solution® permet de mesurer conformément les émissions, et naturellement, mettre en place des mesures efficaces pour adapter l’activité de son organisation à l’objectif imposé de « net zéro carbone ».
En complément, son réseau national et international d’experts agréés Decarbo’Solution® vient soutenir la « démarche bas carbone » des entreprises grâce à ses compétences « verticales » (mobilité, énergie, environnement, RSE, transport, événementiel, IT…) et participe ainsi à l’amélioration de leur compétitivité carbone en regard de ses concurrents, en intégrant les facteurs d’émissions pertinents et en couvrant l’ensemble des postes du périmètre de l’organisation.
À noter que Decarbo’Solution® prend aussi en compte aussi les fournisseurs de l’entreprise, responsables d’une part plus que significative des émissions, en leur offrant gratuitement la possibilité de calculer, en ligne, le réel « poids carbone » des produits et services vendus à l’entreprise (PCF, Product Carbon Footprint, calculés suivant l’ISO 14 067).
Thus, the purchasing department will be able to add this "Carbon Competitiveness©" to the selection criteria of its calls for tenders, and thus considerably reduce the carbon footprint of its company by choosing more environmentally responsible suppliers.
En regard des mots d’ordre efficacité et fiabilité, Decarbo’Solution® possède, par sa longue expérience et ses milliers d’utilisateurs, le calculateur d’émissions de GES le plus précis et puissant du marché. Il permet aux entreprises de réaliser leur BEGES en toute autonomie, ou accompagnées si nécessaire la première année par un expert carbone Decarbo’Solution®.
Each user is guided by an ergonomic and user-friendly interface, which allows him to collect and calculate carbon emission data of activities in a precise way to facilitate the analysis and to organize consequently an action plan of reduction as effectively as possible
