Methodology
How we calculate your emissions.
Every number in Climatise is traceable. We follow the GHG Protocol Corporate Standard, apply DEFRA, IEA, and SWC MRIO emission factors, and show the working behind every calculation.
Scope 1 — Direct Emissions
Emissions from sources owned or controlled by your organisation: fuel combustion, company vehicles, refrigerant leaks, and industrial processes.
Stationary Combustion
Boilers, furnaces, generators, and on-site heating systems.
Mobile Combustion
Company vehicles, forklifts, and construction equipment.
Fugitive Emissions
Refrigerant leaks from HVAC and cooling systems.
Process Emissions
Industrial chemical and physical transformations.
Scope 2 — Purchased Energy
Indirect emissions from purchased electricity, heating, and cooling. Reported using both location-based and market-based methods.
Purchased Electricity
Grid electricity — location-based and market-based methods.
Purchased Heating
District heating, steam, and hot water.
Purchased Cooling
District cooling and chilled water systems.
Market vs Location-Based
The two required Scope 2 reporting methods explained.
Scope 3 — Value Chain Emissions
All other indirect emissions across your value chain. 15 categories covering upstream procurement, logistics, travel, waste, and downstream product use.
Purchased Goods & Services
Upstream emissions from all procurement spend.
Capital Goods
Embodied emissions in long-life assets.
Fuel & Energy-Related Activities
Well-to-tank and transmission losses.
Upstream Transport & Distribution
Inbound logistics from suppliers.
Waste Generated in Operations
Landfill, recycling, incineration, composting.
Business Travel
Flights, rail, taxis, and accommodation.
Employee Commuting
Home-to-work transport by all modes.
Upstream Leased Assets
Assets leased by your company (lessee).
Downstream Transport & Distribution
Outbound logistics to customers.
Processing of Sold Products
Third-party processing before end use.
Use of Sold Products
Energy consumed by products during use.
End-of-Life Treatment
Disposal of products at end of life.
Downstream Leased Assets
Assets you own and lease to others.
Franchises
Franchise operations you don't control.
Investments
Attributed emissions from financial investments.
