Carbon Management

Carbon management spans the measurement, reporting, and reduction of Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions. The goal is not just an annual inventory but a credible decarbonisation roadmap.

Why it matters

Climate change has moved to the top of the corporate risk map. The EU's Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM), Türkiye's Nationally Determined Contribution, and the portfolio targets of major financial institutions all require measurable carbon performance.

Scopes

• Scope 1: direct emissions from sources the organisation owns or controls (boilers, generators, fleet vehicles).
• Scope 2: indirect emissions from purchased electricity, heat, and steam.
• Scope 3: indirect emissions across the value chain (supply chain, product use, employee commuting) — typically more than 70% of total footprint.

Common frameworks

• GHG Protocol Corporate Standard
• ISO 14064-1 GHG inventory
• Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi)
• TCFD and CDP reporting formats
