It is unthinkable to imagine a company running without an accounting department, right? The latter provides key figures on the financial and global situation of the company and indicators that are essential for its good management. In the near future, the flow of greenhouse gas emissions will also be the subject of accounting that is inseparable from a business model. This is already the case for companies with more than 500 employees (and more than 250 in the overseas regions/departments), which must carry out a regulatory GHG balance sheet.)

Reducing energy consumption, optimising the supply chain, better orienting the choice of service providers, improving the brand image, standing out from competitors, gaining new market shares... Commitment to an environmental footprint reduction approach represents a real source of opportunities.

But if the will is there, the question often arises: where to start?

You can't reduce what you haven't measured. To include your company in a greenhouse gas reduction strategy, it is essential to know where you are starting from. It all starts with measurement.

In France and internationally, the Bilan Carbone® is the benchmark tool for measuring and analysing greenhouse gas emissions of professionals and individuals. Mainly based on CO2 emissions, it reflects a company's dependence on environmental issues and, above all, gives company managers a precise view of the threats to their business in an economy where energy will become increasingly expensive. It also provides valuable indicators on waste management, transport, consumables, etc.

It thus provides a precise and complete analysis of an activity and identifies the items that emit the most CO2 in order to subsequently define a reduction action plan to change behaviour over time.
