The methodology is built on the GHG Protocol and aligns with the CO2 Performance Ladder and CSRD because organisations need a footprint structure that is both practical and recognisable. Scope 1, 2 and 3 are used to separate direct emissions, purchased energy and value-chain emissions.
In the Dura Vermeer work, this structure made the footprint usable for reporting and decision-making. The value of the method is not only compliance. It also helps teams identify hotspots, compare measures and connect procurement, projects and strategy to a consistent emissions baseline.
