The German Sustainable Business Association and Berlin-based Greentech Plan A have introduced a specially developed, free and publicly accessibleCO2 emissions calculator for companies.
The emissions calculator, which can be accessed at www.plana.earth/bnw-emissionsrechner, now offers companies the opportunity to obtain an initial realistic assessment of their emissions profile. The tool asks a series of questions about the company's activities - from employee commuting to expenditure on electricity, heating or other services - and collects the necessary data across all relevant emission areas. The greenhouse gas emissions are then calculated and compared with industry values.
The methods on which the calculation is based comply with the internationally recognized standard of the Greenhouse Gas Protocol and are therefore scientifically sound - TÜV Rheinland officially certified Plan A at the beginning of September 2021.
