Questions About the Reporting Process

Frequently Asked Questions
What is carbon footprint reporting?
Carbon Footprint Reporting is the process of documenting and publicizing the results of a person or organization's carbon footprint calculations. Reporting ensures transparency and reliability of carbon footprint calculations.
What is the need for carbon footprint reporting?
Carbon Footprint Reporting is necessary for the following reasons: To contribute to the fight against global warming: Carbon footprint reports are an indication of what a person or organization is doing to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. To increase competitiveness: Carbon footprint reports show the environmental performance of a person or organization. This is an important factor for consumers and investors. To achieve sustainability goals: Carbon footprint reports help a person or organization track its progress towards achieving its sustainability goals.
What should be considered in carbon footprint reporting?
The main issues to be considered in carbon footprint reporting are as follows: The report must be reliable and accurate: Reporting should be done according to international standards such as ISO 14064-1 and GHG Protocol. Transparency of the report: Carbon footprint calculation methods and the data used should be clearly stated in the report. The report being up to date: The report should be updated regularly.
What is the content of the carbon footprint report?
The content of a carbon footprint report may vary depending on the field of activity of the reporting person or organization. However, in general, a carbon footprint report should include the following information:
  • General information about the company or organization: Information such as the name, address, field of activity of the company or organization.
  • Carbon footprint calculation method: The methods used in carbon footprint calculations.
  • Carbon footprint data: Calculated carbon footprint amounts.
  • Carbon footprint reduction targets: The company or organization's carbon footprint reduction targets.
What are the types of carbon footprint reports?
Carbon footprint reports can be divided into the following types: Internal reports: Reports prepared for the internal use of the company or organization. External reports: Reports that the company or organization makes public. Certified reports: Reports verified according to standards such as ISO 14064-1 and GHG Protocol.
How to prepare a carbon footprint report according to ISO 14064-1 standard?
The ISO 14064-1 standard provides a framework for the calculation and reporting of greenhouse gas emissions. This standard is designed to ensure the reliability and transparency of carbon footprint reporting. Carbon footprint reporting according to the ISO 14064-1 standard consists of the following stages:
  • Target Setting: Reporting targets, reporting scope and reporting frequency are determined.
  • Planning: The reporting process is planned. At this stage, the reporting scope, methods used and data collection methods are determined.
  • Implementation: Carbon footprint calculations are made. At this stage, carbon footprint amounts are calculated in line with the methods and data used.
  • Verification: The report is verified by an independent verification organization.
  • Reporting: The report is disclosed to the public.

According to the ISO 14064-1 standard, carbon footprint reports should include the following information:
  • General information about the company or organization: Information such as the name, address, field of activity of the company or organization.
  • Carbon footprint calculation method: Methods used in carbon footprint calculations.
  • Carbon footprint data: Calculated carbon footprint amounts.
  • Carbon footprint reduction targets: The company or organization's carbon footprint reduction targets.
  • Reporting process: Information about the reporting process.
How to prepare a carbon footprint report according to the GHG Protocol?
The GHG Protocol provides guidance on the calculation and reporting of greenhouse gas emissions. This guidance sets out the scope and content of carbon footprint reporting. According to the GHG Protocol, carbon footprint reporting consists of the following stages:
  • Target Setting: Reporting targets, reporting scope and reporting frequency are determined.
  • Planning: The reporting process is planned. At this stage, the reporting scope, methods used and data collection methods are determined.
  • Implementation: Carbon footprint calculations are made. At this stage, carbon footprint amounts are calculated in line with the methods and data used.
  • Verification: The report is verified by an independent verification organization.
  • Reporting: The report is disclosed to the public.
According to the GHG Protocol, carbon footprint reports should include the following information:
  • General information about the company or organization: Information such as the name, address, field of activity of the company or organization.
  • Carbon footprint calculation method: Methods used in carbon footprint calculations.
  • Carbon footprint data: Calculated carbon footprint amounts.
  • Carbon footprint reduction targets: The company or organization's carbon footprint reduction targets.
  • Reporting process: Information about the reporting process.
What are the differences between ISO 14064-1 and GHG reports?
ISO 14064-1 and the GHG Protocol are standards designed to ensure the reliability and transparency of carbon footprint reporting. However, there are some differences between these two standards. The ISO 14064-1 standard provides a more general framework for calculating and reporting GHG emissions. The GHG Protocol, on the other hand, provides more detailed guidance on the accounting and reporting of GHG emissions. The ISO 14064-1 standard can cover the full scope of GHG emissions. The GHG Protocol, on the other hand, can cover a specific scope of GHG emissions. The ISO 14064-1 standard does not require carbon footprint reports to be verified by an independent verification body. The GHG Protocol, on the other hand, requires carbon footprint reports to be verified by an independent verification body.
