What is the difference between GHG audit and carbon footprint assessment?

GHG audit (ISO 14064) refers to the systematic verification of a complete greenhouse gas inventory covering all seven Kyoto Protocol gases. Carbon footprint assessment specifically measures CO2 equivalent (CO2e) emissions. Both are essential for BRSR ESG compliance, with GHG audit providing third-party verification readiness and carbon footprint assessment establishing the emissions baseline for reduction target setting.

Who needs a corporate carbon footprint assessment in India?

Corporate carbon footprint assessment is required by: (1) Top 1000 listed companies for BRSR compliance under SEBI mandate, (2) Automotive OEM suppliers facing customer sustainability requirements, (3) Export-oriented units serving EU and US markets with carbon disclosure demands, (4) Companies preparing for ESG investment and green financing, (5) Organizations pursuing ISO 14064 certification and net-zero commitments.

What are Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions in carbon footprint assessment?

Scope 1 covers direct emissions from owned sources (fuel combustion, fleet vehicles, fugitive emissions). Scope 2 covers indirect emissions from purchased energy (electricity, steam, cooling). Scope 3 covers value chain emissions across 15 categories including purchased goods, transportation, business travel, waste, and product use. A comprehensive corporate carbon footprint assessment covers all three scopes as per ISO 14064-1.

How does carbon footprint assessment support BRSR reporting?

Carbon footprint assessment provides the foundational emissions data for BRSR Principle 6 (Environmental) disclosures. It covers mandatory GHG emission reporting including Scope 1 and 2 totals, emission intensity ratios, reduction targets, and climate risk assessment. BRSR Core additionally requires reasonable assurance on key carbon metrics, making ISO 14064-aligned carbon footprint assessment essential for compliant filing.
