Quick answer

How do you calculate a company's carbon footprint?

Multiply each activity by its emission factor and add them up: fuels burned on site and in vehicles (Scope 1), purchased electricity (Scope 2, using India's grid factor of about 0.710 kg CO₂ per kWh from CEA) and indirect sources such as business flights (Scope 3). The GHG Protocol sets out the method.

Common questions

What is the grid emission factor for India?

The CEA CO₂ Baseline Database v21 gives an all-India weighted average of about 0.710 tonnes of CO₂ per MWh (0.710 kg per kWh) for FY 2024-25.

What are Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions?

Scope 1 is from fuels you burn; Scope 2 is from electricity you buy; Scope 3 is everything else in your value chain, such as flights, suppliers and products.

Is this enough for BRSR?

It is a first estimate. BRSR asks for Scope 1 and 2 by site with records behind them; use this to find your biggest sources.

How do I reduce my footprint?

Start with the biggest bar: usually electricity (efficiency and renewables) or fuel. Then balance what remains with trees and verified credits.
