To understand many of the following advantages to CarbonCounted , you need to be versed on some of the current methodologies and standards for carbon emissions being developed worldwide. The best of which we believe are “Green House Gas Protocol, A Corporate Accounting and Reporting Standard – Revised Edition” published by the World Business Council for Sustainable Development and the World Resource Institute, ISO 14025:2006 Environmental labeling and declarations and PAS 2050.
- CarbonCounted takes a value added approach to the supply chain that leads up to a finished product or service. By using CarbonConnect, you can publish your total CarbonCounted and the CarbonCounted carbon labels for your products. This is done in an accurate and real-time manner and is a better approach than a static carbon dioxide inventory report and eliminates the need for producing a separate annual carbon dioxide inventory report.
- CarbonCounted eliminates the double counting that is problematic in the existing methodologies. By focusing on the CarbonCounted per product, we effectively encompass the entire supply chain.
- In a carbon constrained economy/ecology, the main factors that matter are net carbon emitted and sequestered. The CarbonCounted model focuses on this and does not allow any confusion on this point.
- CarbonCounted allows a business to track and report both total business and per unit (intensity based) emissions. By reporting the per unit emissions on your carbon label, you are not penalized on a per unit basis for growth in sales volume. This allows a consumer to make a bigger global impact in empowering companies to pursue absolute carbon dioxide reductions.
- Process specific energy or emissions data are kept confidential as all data is aggregated in the final result.
