Carbon Accounting

Build a carbon inventoryyou can stand behind.

Carbon accounting is not just about calculating a number. It is about knowing where the data came from, how emissions were calculated, what assumptions were made and whether the result can withstand review.

Collect the data. Calculate the footprint. Understand its uncertainty. Keep the evidence. Be ready to report and verify.

From activity data to carbon inventory

Carbon accounting starts long before the calculation.

Carbon data is distributed across departments, facilities, systems and people. Cleture structures those activities into one controlled and repeatable accounting process.

One continuous record from source data to reported emissions.

Scope 1, 2 & 3

See emissions across your entire organization.

Build one organizational GHG inventory across direct operations, purchased energy and the wider value chain.

Scope 1

Direct operations

Emissions from sources owned or controlled by your organization.

  • Stationary combustion
  • Mobile combustion
  • Refrigerants
  • Process emissions
  • Other direct sources
Scope 2

Purchased energy

Indirect emissions from electricity, steam, heating and cooling, including relevant location- and market-based approaches.

  • Electricity
  • Steam
  • Heating
  • Cooling
  • Location & market based
Scope 3

The wider value chain

Applicable upstream and downstream categories beyond your own operations.

  • Purchased goods
  • Transportation
  • Business travel
  • Waste
  • Product use & other categories

One carbon inventory across all three scopes.

Calculate with transparency

Know what sits behind every tonne of CO₂e.

A carbon footprint should never be a black box. Keep the activity, factor, methodology, period and organizational context visible behind every result.

01

Govern the factor source

Maintain applicable sources and organization-specific factors where appropriate.

02

Keep methodology visible

Preserve the reporting context and method used by the calculation.

03

Trace the original activity

Move from the reported result back to the operational record that created it.

Methodology stays connected to the calculation.

Uncertainty & evidence

A carbon number should communicate more than its total.

Not every data point has the same certainty. Make data quality, assumptions and supporting evidence part of the carbon record instead of hiding them behind the final result.

Data quality

Know how confidently you know the number.

Smart meterPrimary measured data
High
Supplier invoiceDocumented activity data
Strong
Supplier statementThird-party information
Medium
Estimated activityAssumption applied
Improve

Identify where better information can materially improve the reliability of the inventory.

Evidence built in

Keep the proof behind the number.

Invoice or meter record
Emission factor and method
Review and approval record
Traceable carbon result

10,000 tCO₂e is one piece of information. How confidently you know it is another.

From facility to group

See one footprint — or the organization behind it.

Preserve company and facility structure while consolidating emissions into a controlled group-level carbon inventory.

Facility-level detail. Group-level visibility.

Control before reporting

Review the inventory before you stand behind it.

Move from working data to an approved reporting period with controls that preserve the complete story behind every number.

Consolidated structures

Generate outputs from the carbon record without rebuilding the calculation for every reporting requirement.

Build for verification from the beginning.

Recognized accounting principles

Use a methodology your stakeholders understand.

Standards should not only shape the final report. They should shape how boundaries, sources, activities, factors and controls are built into the inventory.

01
GHG Protocol

Corporate accounting across Scope 1, Scope 2 and applicable Scope 3 categories.

02
ISO 14064-1

Organization-level quantification and reporting of greenhouse gas emissions and removals.

Carbon accounting becomes a repeatable organizational capability.

Your carbon footprint is more than a number

Make every numberexplainable.

Know where emissions came from, how they were calculated, which evidence supports them and where uncertainty remains — from activity data to a carbon inventory you can defend.
