Your details Please enter your company details on the form below – these will be incorporated into your carbon footprint report which will be e-mailed on completion of this calculator.
Your carbon footprint will be represented as a total of C02, C02 per employee and C02 per tonne of product. This provides an easy means to compare with other organisations.
Energy use in Company buildings and facilities
The energy that is consumed within the premises of a company will vary considerably depending upon the a activities taking place within those premises. This energy results in both direct and indirect emissions, the consumption of fossil fuels (eg. heating and processing) results in Direct Emissions, as the emissions are the result of fossil fuels combusting on site. Whereas electricity results in Indirect Emissions as the combusting of the fossil fuels has occured off site by third a party. Please input all energy consumption that is used on your site(s) annually.
Employee transport in company owned vehicles Depending upon the type of organisation the emissions associated with transportation (Direct Emissions) can be a significant proportion of your carbon footprint. This section requires the input of transport data for employee business travel in company owned vehicles, excluding fleet vehicles. Companies recording methods of transport usage vary, some record the mileage travelled for business (usually via expense claims) whereas others record the total amount of fuel used. If your organisation uses mileage recording then use the drop down lists below. It may be the case that you do some of both, if this is the situation please ensure you do not double count.
Many companies know the amount of fuel that is used through conducting their business activities, particularly with the use of fuel account cards and on site fuel filling facilities.
NB Ensure the fuel is only included once as otherwise it will be counted twice in your carbon footprint report. i.e. do not put in 1000 miles in small diesel car then include 100l of diesel used for that travel.
Produce transport in company owned vehicles
Depending upon the type of organisation the emissions associated with transportation (Direct Emissions) can be a significant proportion of your carbon footprint. This section requires the input of transport data for goods brought to site or distributed from site in company owned vehicles, excluding fleet vehicles. Companies recording methods of transport usage vary, some record the mileage travelled for business (usually via expense claims) whereas others record the total amount of fuel used. If your organisation uses mileage recording then use the drop down lists below. It may be the case that you do some of both, if this is the situation please ensure you do not double count.
Employee transport in non-company owned vehicles Depending upon the type of organisation the emissions associated with transportation (Direct Emissions) can be a significant proportion of your carbon footprint. This section requires the input of data for transport associated with employee business travel in vehicles that are not owned by the company, this includes lease cars, private cars and public transport. Companies recording methods of transport usage vary, some record the mileage travelled for business (usually via expense claims) whereas others record the total amount of fuel used. If your organisation uses mileage recording then use the drop down lists below. It may be the case that you do some of both, if this is the situation please ensure you do not double count.
Produce transport in non-company owned vehicles Depending upon the type of organisation the emissions associated with transportation (Direct Emissions) can be a significant proportion of your carbon footprint. This section requires the input of transport data for goods brought to site or distributed from site in non company owned vehicles, including fleet vehicles and contracted distributers. Companies recording methods of transport usage vary, some record the mileage travelled for business (usually via expense claims) whereas others record the total amount of fuel used. If your organisation uses mileage recording then use the drop down lists below. However if you record the amount of fuel used then go to the next page. It may be the case that you do some of both, if this is the situation please ensure you do not double count.
Refrigerant Gases
Emissions Arising from the loss of Refrigerant and Air Conditioning gases have the potential to be very significant for businesses where these technologies are adopted in the fabric of their buildings or operations. It is particularly important as the global warming potential of these gases is much higher than that of CO2, in some cases over 10000 times greater. The measure of gas lost can be determined on the amount that is replaced or ‘topped up’ in servicing, this needs to calculated on an annual basis. Where the gas lost forms a composition of a number of individual gases then you must input the composition of each.
Not all refrigerants in use are classified as greenhouse gases for the purposes of the Climate Change Programme (e.g. CFCs, HCFCs).
