GHG / Carbon Accounting

Practice: Sustainability · Type: Standard

Greenhouse-gas (GHG) accounting measures an organisation's emissions across Scope 1, 2 and 3 under the GHG Protocol — the foundation for any credible net-zero claim. Celeredge assesses GHG-accounting maturity across Scope 1, 2 and 3 boundaries, data and methodology, and ranks the gaps to a defensible inventory.

Benefits​

  • Scored on GHG / Carbon Accounting's own scale across Scope 1, 2 and 3 — not a generic rubric.
  • Surfaces boundary, data and methodology gaps that undermine a net-zero claim.
  • Every score is traceable to the client's own policies, reports and data.
  • Gaps ranked by severity, ready to become the path to a defensible inventory.
  • A board-ready slide deck and a detailed report generated automatically.

When to use it​

  • To baseline GHG-accounting maturity before making or defending a net-zero claim.
  • When the client needs a defensible Scope 1, 2 and 3 inventory under the GHG Protocol.
  • To find boundary, data and methodology gaps ahead of assurance or disclosure.
  • To re-baseline emissions accounting as data and coverage improve.

What it assesses​

Celeredge maps the client's evidence to the GHG Protocol, flags weaknesses in boundaries, data and methodology, and ranks the gaps to a defensible inventory. It covers:

  • Scope 1 emissions
  • Scope 2 emissions
  • Scope 3 emissions
  • Boundaries, data and methodology

Expected output​

Celeredge produces per-dimension maturity scores on GHG / Carbon Accounting's own scale. Each answer carries a confidence signal and citations back to the client's evidence, and gaps are ranked by severity. The run generates a board-ready slide deck and a detailed HTML report. See Maturity Scoring, Reports and Deck Studio.

How to use it in Celeredge​

  1. Collect the client's evidence — policies, reports and data — see Evidence Collection.
  2. In Diagnose, select GHG / Carbon Accounting.
  3. Run the assessment and watch it stream — see Running Assessments.
  4. Review per-dimension answers with their confidence and citations, then accept the ones you trust.
  5. Send gaps to Plan — see Gap Analysis.

FAQ​

What is GHG / Carbon Accounting?​

Greenhouse-gas (GHG) accounting measures an organisation's emissions across Scope 1, 2 and 3 under the GHG Protocol — the foundation for any credible net-zero claim.

What does a Celeredge GHG / Carbon Accounting assessment deliver?​

An evidence-based maturity assessment scored on GHG / Carbon Accounting's own scale, with gaps ranked by severity and an auto-generated, board-ready slide deck and detailed report — every score traceable to the evidence behind it.

How does the assessment work?​

Clients upload their own evidence — policies, reports and data. An AI interviewer asks targeted follow-ups to fill anything missing, the platform scores against the framework, ranks the gaps, and generates the deliverables.

Celeredge runs an independent readiness and alignment review against this framework. It is not a certification audit and is not endorsed by the standard's owner. Framework and standard names are trademarks of their respective owners.
