Your carbon footprint
Measurement and assessment with carbon accounting

Why measure your carbon footprint?

Your activities generate greenhouse gas emissions across your entire value chain: energy consumption at your sites, purchases, business travel, freight transport, manufacturing, product use, and end-of-life.

Conducting a greenhouse gas emissions assessment (GHG inventory), or carbon footprint, aligned with the GHG Protocol, provides a reliable measurement of your emissions (in tCO₂e) and allows you to prioritize your main sources of impact.

This approach is essential to clarify your climate challenges, define an ambitious reduction trajectory, and meet stakeholder expectations. 

Blooming is certified to deploy the Bilan Carbone® methodology developed by ADEME and supports you throughout the process.

What does the carbon footprint measure?

Scope 1

Direct emissions from your activities (e.g., fuels, company vehicle fleet)

Scope 2

Indirect emissions from energy (e.g., purchased electricity or heat)

Scope 3

Other indirect emissions across the value chain (purchases, transport, product use and end-of-life), often representing more than 70% of total emissions

A clear mapping of your emissions to prioritize high-impact actions

How a carbon footprint assessment is conducted

  1. Define the assessment scope – direct and indirect activities, organizational and operational entities (business units), geographic coverage, etc.
  2. Collect and process data – energy, raw materials, travel, freight, digital services, product end-of-life, etc.
  3. Calculation and consolidation – following the Bilan Carbone® methodology and/or GHG Protocol.
  4. Analysis and recommendations – prioritization of emission sources, reduction scenarios, and communicative summary.

FAQ

The Bilan Carbone® is suitable for all organizations, regardless of size or sector. Only trained and certified experts can perform the assessment.
Some companies are already subject to it (e.g., legal obligations for large organizations). But even when it is not mandatory, it constitutes a key step to anticipate the CSRD, respond to calls for tenders and access financing.
The Carbon Footprint Assessment® is a French methodology developed by ADEME and ABC (Association Bilan Carbone), widely used in Europe. The GHG Protocol is the most prevalent international standard. Blooming is proficient in both and adapts the method to your needs.
Yes, in most cases. Scope 3 emissions often account for the majority of emissions (e.g., purchases or use of products). Depending on data availability, Blooming can help you cover it.

Absolutely. The Carbon Footprint® is the first step towards defining a trajectory validated by the Science Based Targets (SBTi) initiative.

Depending on the size of your organization and data availability, the process can take anywhere from a few weeks to several months. The duration will largely depend on you, particularly the data collection phase. Blooming adapts its approach to combine rigor and efficiency.
