What is a Carbon Calculator?
Our Carbon Calculator is a simple yet powerful tool designed to help early-stage companies measure their carbon footprint. By analyzing data related to your business operations, such as energy use, transportation, and logistics, our tool provides insights into your environmental impact across three key areas: Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3 emissions. The calculator is tailored for startups and small businesses, offering quick and actionable insights without requiring complex or unavailable data.
Why is a Carbon Calculator Needed?
- Regulatory Compliance: As governments worldwide set stricter carbon reporting and reduction mandates, even small businesses need to monitor their emissions to stay ahead.
- Investor and Stakeholder Pressure: Investors, partners, and customers are increasingly prioritizing sustainability. Demonstrating your environmental responsibility can boost your brand’s reputation and attract funding.
- Operational Efficiency: Tracking your carbon footprint helps identify areas to cut waste, optimize resource usage, and save costs.
- Early Action: Startups have the unique advantage of embedding sustainability into their DNA from the beginning, positioning themselves for long-term growth.


What Are Scope 1, 2, and 3 Emissions?
- Scope 1 (Direct Emissions): Emissions from sources you own or control, such as company vehicles or on-site fuel combustion. For example, a company’s delivery trucks would fall under Scope 1.
- Scope 2 (Indirect Emissions): Emissions from purchased energy, such as electricity, heating, or cooling used in your office or facilities. This is indirect because the energy production occurs off-site but is consumed by your business.
- Scope 3 (Value Chain Emissions): Emissions from all other activities not covered in Scope 1 or 2. These include emissions from suppliers, logistics, employee commuting, and even the carbon footprint of your digital presence (e.g., website data transfers).
