Estimate the annual greenhouse-gas footprint of food operations from activity data and emission factors you control. The result separates the major measured sources so you can see which assumption matters most. Use factors that match the same geography, reporting year, and organizational boundary; this planning estimate is not a verified inventory.
Convert kilograms of CO₂e to metric tonnes by dividing by 1,000.
The main result is the modeled estimated annual footprint. Supporting results separate the assumptions that most affect the decision.
Use this estimate for planning. Apply the accounting standard, emission factors, carbon-price rules, and assurance requirements relevant to your organization.
For 1,000,000 kg of food at 2.5 kg CO₂e/kg, with 8% waste treated at 0.5 kg CO₂e/kg, the estimate is 2,540 t CO₂e.
Use one consistent operational, financial, or reporting boundary for every input; do not mix facility totals with partial activity data.
Yes. Prefer current, documented factors that match the energy, product, geography, and reporting period represented by the activity data.
No. It is a planning estimate. Verification requires documented source data, accepted accounting rules, and often independent review.
Adjust the electricity factor only when the contractual instrument and chosen reporting method permit it, and retain the supporting documentation.
Reported figures may use different boundaries, lifecycle stages, factors, allocation methods, gases, or treatment of renewable instruments and offsets.
| Input | How to use it |
|---|---|
| Activity or emissions | Use a consistent annual reporting boundary. |
| Factor, target, or price | Enter a documented scenario assumption. |
| Percentages | Enter percentage points, such as 25 for 25%. |
