A company’s ecological footprint and especially its carbon emissions are increasingly the focus of attention from consumers and investors. DEKRA has recognized this great potential and successfully established a market position with the appropriate services.
Carbon dioxide (CO2) accounts for a significant proportion of greenhouse gas emissions and is therefore a subject of constant debate.
However, there are other gases like methane (CH4) and sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) which do far more damage to the climate.
When recording emissions, a distinction is made between whether they result directly from a company’s own economic activity (Scope 1), from the use of purchased energy (Scope 2), or in the supply chain (Scope 3).
In 2021, DEKRA validated the global CO2 compensation process for customers for Lenovo, the world’s largest PC manufacturer: the Lenovo CO2 Offset Service. As the first audit of this kind for an electronics manufacturer globally, the project was pioneering in character for both DEKRA and Lenovo
Carbon Footprint Services is one of the many sustainability services that DEKRA is optimizing continuously. The portfolio includes services such as determining the greenhouse gas balance of products and companies, sustainability audits, sustainability management systems, and product testing in accordance with current environmental standards. Added to these are special consulting services, for example concerning the EU’s Product Environmental Footprint (PEF) initiative.
