Understanding your carbon footprint is essential for environmental responsibility and regulatory compliance. This calculator helps you calculate Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions with real-time data specific to France, providing a comprehensive view of your organization's environmental impact.

What are Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions?

The Greenhouse Gas Protocol defines three scopes for measuring emissions:

  • Scope 1: Direct emissions from owned or controlled sources, such as fuel combustion in vehicles or industrial processes.
  • Scope 2: Indirect emissions from the generation of purchased electricity, steam, heating, or cooling consumed by your organization.
  • Scope 3: All other indirect emissions that occur in the value chain of your organization, including business travel, waste disposal, and supply chain activities.

Calculating all three scopes provides a complete picture of your organization's carbon footprint, which is crucial for setting reduction targets and reporting to stakeholders.
