Carbon accounting is how an organisation measures the greenhouse gases that its activities cause. These guides explain it in plain English. They follow the GHG Protocol, the standard that IFRS S2 and Malaysia's reporting rules build on.
What you will find here
- Basics: what carbon accounting is, the 3 scopes, the reporting rules in Malaysia and worldwide, carbon markets, and a glossary of terms.
- Build your GHG inventory: 7 steps, from setting your boundaries to reporting and verification.
- FAQ: short answers to common questions, for example which scope renewable energy falls under.
- Further reading: the standards and official sources behind these guides.
Where to start
If the topic is new to you, start with the Basics. If you already know the scopes and must prepare a report, go to the 7 steps.
Each guide links to the matching part of the Carbon GPT Platform guides, so that you can do each step in the app.
ℹ️
Rules and standards change. Each page lists its sources and gives the year of each dated figure.
