It is calculated based on Scopes 1, 2, and 3 as defined by the Greenhouse Gas Protocol. Scope 3 is particularly critical, as it often accounts for more than 70% of total emissions. Calculating the CCF is a prerequisite for setting effective climate targets, implementing reduction measures, and communicating sustainability efforts credibly. For many companies, it is increasingly becoming a requirement\u2014whether driven by legislation, market expectations, or customer demands.    <\/p>\n<p><strong>Content:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"#ccfwichtigkeit\">Why the Corporate Carbon Footprint matters now<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#ccfdefinition\">What is the Corporate Carbon Footprint?<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#ccfberechnung\">How is the Corporate Carbon Footprint calculated?<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#ccfdanach\">What happens after the carbon footprint has been calculated?<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#ccfunterst%C3%BCtzung\">We support you: with software and expertise<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#ccfqanda\">Questions and answers about the CCF<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/section>\n\n\t\n\n\n\t<section class=\"snk-section snk-section_noBtn\" id='ccfwichtigkeit'>\n\t\t<div class=\"container\">\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<div class=\"snk-textBlock\">\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"snk-section-headline\">Why the Corporate Carbon Footprint matters now <\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>The pressure on companies to understand and reduce their emissions is increasing.

These data points are usually easier to access: energy consumption, vehicle fleets, or heating systems can typically be tracked internally without much effort. <\/p>\n<p>Scope 3, on the other hand, is more complex but also critical. Why? Because it covers everything that happens outside a company\u2019s direct operations. And that\u2019s usually where the majority of emissions occur: for many companies, Scope 3 accounts for over 70% of total CO\u2082 emissions and in some industries, it can be as high as 95%.   <\/p>\n<p>Despite the challenges, it\u2019s essential to include all three scopes to gain an accurate picture. Ignoring Scope 3 often leads to a serious underestimation of a company\u2019s climate impact and means missing out on valuable opportunities. <\/p>\n<p>Why? Because Scope 3 often holds surprisingly straightforward levers for reduction, such as switching suppliers, optimizing logistics, or improving product design. These opportunities only become visible when Scope 3 is systematically included in the assessment.<\/p>\n<p>Our tip: Even if you don\u2019t have precise data yet, rough estimates can still provide valuable insights. And they\u2019re far better than doing nothing at all.<\/p>\n<h3>Which companies is Scope 3 especially relevant for?<\/h3>\n<p>Scope 3 is relevant for all companies including mid-sized businesses. Why? <\/p>\n<p>Many mid-sized companies have:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>complex or global supply chains,<\/li>\n<li>components and materials they don\u2019t produce in-house,<\/li>\n<li>transport and logistics structures over which they have limited direct control.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>All these emissions fall under Scope 3. For these companies, this means: even if their own operations are energy-efficient, the majority of emissions may occur in upstream or downstream processes \u2013 precisely where gaining insight and influence becomes particularly important.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/section>\n\n\t\n\n\n\t<section class=\"snk-section snk-section_noBtn\" id='ccfberechnung'>\n\t\t<div class=\"container\">\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<div class=\"snk-textBlock\">\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"snk-section-headline\">How is the Corporate Carbon Footprint calculated? <\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Calculating the Corporate Carbon Footprint (CCF) involves several clearly structured steps.
