With the Five Glaciers CO₂ Calculator for Businesses, you can generate an initial estimate of your corporate carbon footprint (CCF). The tool helps companies systematically track their Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3 emissions and gain an initial understanding of their carbon footprint.
The calculation is based on established standards such as the GHG Protocoland helps identify key emission drivers within the company—serving as a first foundation for climate strategy and regulatory requirements such as CSRD, CDP, or Science-Based Targets.
Systematic carbon footprint assessment for companies isincreasingly becomingthe basis for strategic decisions. Companies must track their emissions not only for regulatory reasons, but also to meet the expectations of customers, investors, and business partners .
The Corporate Carbon Footprint (CCF)provides transparency regarding direct (Scope 1) and indirect (Scope 2 & Scope 3) emissions across the entire value chain and forms the basis for climate strategies, reduction measures, and sustainability reports.
The company's emissions do not originate from its own operations, but from the value chain (Scope 3)
Suppliers around the world are already being asked by large companies to disclose emissions and sustainability data
Emissions in the supply chain are higher than a company's direct emissions

Yes. Validation strengthens the credibility of your statements to stakeholders, banks, customers, or auditors. It provides a solid foundation for ESG reporting, sustainability communications, and strategic decisions.
Common issues include incomplete Scope 3 definitions, inconsistent emission factors, methodological simplifications, or unclear assumptions. These weaknesses are often not immediately apparent, but they can significantly affect the reliability of the entire emissions inventory.
The PCF calculates the greenhouse gas emissions generated during the entire life cycle of a product - from the extraction of raw materials to production, use and disposal. In contrast, the Corporate Carbon Footprint (CCF) considers the entire company and all associated activities.
Effective measures include switching to renewable energies, increasing efficiency in production, electrifying the vehicle fleet, optimizing supply chains and sustainable procurement. Strategic anchoring in the company and realistic reduction targets in accordance with SBTi are essential.
ESRS E1 (Climate Change) of the CSRD (Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive) requires companies to quantify their direct and indirect greenhouse gas emissions and disclose reduction targets. The CCF serves as a basis for presenting emissions transparently and fulfilling regulatory requirements.
