Méthodologie

Yes, it is the ISO 14064-1 standard which was developed within the ISO/TC207 technical committee "environmental management". It specifies, for organisations, the principles and requirements for the quantification and reporting of greenhouse gas emissions and removals, using the general principles that apply to all regulations. France proposed its revision and work started in January 2014 in the framework of TC207/SC7/WG4 within Afnor. The content of the revision is now based on the ISO 14069 Technical Report in order to ensure transparency in the quantification of GHG emissions and removals by organisations and in the drafting of their reports. This revision finally led to the creation of the 14064-1: 2018 standard which specifies that organisations must take into account scopes 1 and 2 on a mandatory basis, and scope 3 on an optional basis. GCI fully complies with this ISO 14064-1 standard.
GCI uses a database of nearly 3,000 emission factors (EFs) established for France (Base Carbone).
The user can enter the EFs best suited to his activity and cite his source (his supplier, a specific reference system chosen by him)
GCI can interface on request with other recognised databases such as :
- the Department for Business, Energy, etc.
- EcoInvent
-Inies
Legally, it is not possible to require its suppliers and service providers to provide emission factors for their unit(s) of work. However, this action will enhance the common will to reduce GHG emissions in the case of an agreement between the client and its suppliers or service providers.
The GHG emissions balance of companies and local authorities is made up of 50 to 80 emissions resulting from their purchases of materials, products, services and services. It is therefore essential that they can also commit their suppliers to their emissions reduction trajectory. Their purchasing policy must therefore favour those who can present a balance indicating their best performance in terms of carbon emissions associated with their supply or service, by means of " poids ". The three obstacles that were blocking this virtuous reasoning have just been removed by GCI : -" Désacralisation " of the elaboration of the GHG Balance by any company of any size, activité ; the online calculators give all the autonomy and advice necessary and assistance is always available for the first calculation - "Démocratisation " calculations with a very competitive price scale (550 to 2050€) made possible by the complete digitalization of the process and the high ambition of expected users.-".Intégration " of the performances " Carbone " of the service providers and suppliers directly insertable by their customers under simple information of the " unités of work carbone " corresponding to the materials or services purchased. Today, any buyer, public or private, has the right to impose the presentation of their Carbon Footprint to their suppliers (référence : Question AN published in the OJ on: 28/05/2019 / Response published in the OJ on: 27/08/2019 page: 7760). With GCI, it will benefit from a real tool for analysing " carbone " offers, and for the collaborative management of its suppliers' environmental performance over time. With GCI, the concept of Sustainable Purchasing becomes real and concrete!

Activité

An activity is an organisational unit for which you want to perform an individual GHG inventory. It is possible to subsequently produce consolidated GHG inventories that include several activities. An activity can be a site, an agency, a group of offices, a warehouse, etc.
The creation of an activity is necessary before doing my GHG inventory. Indeed, when creating an activity, you are asked to provide information about the sector of activity and the approach, among other things. This allows you to customise the questionnaire by determining in advance the questions that need to be answered and the irrelevant questions. However, when reporting the GHG Inventory, it will always be possible to change the status of the questions to customise it to your particular case.
You can report as many activities as you wish.
It is quite possible to change the data entered when creating an activity. In the list of activities, simply click on the magnifying glass.
Go to the list of activities (Calculate menu, My activities tab) then click on the Folder icon to see all the declarations made for this activity.
Within the framework of a voluntary approach (in most cases), it is customary to make an annual assessment (based on the calendar or fiscal year). It is therefore possible to enter as many declarations as there are years.
The field "Motivation of the Inventory" allows you to describe the motivations that led you to do your GHG Inventory. This information will not be shared with third parties, but will appear in the GHG emission inventory commented report if you order it.
This issue is important because it allows the use of default values for the calculation of GHG emissions related to travel, including commuting to and from work.
It is quite possible!

If you want to create your second company, all you have to do is create a new activity. In the Corporate Name drop-down list, choose "Add a company" and let it guide you.

Once you have created this second company, you will just have to go to the "Your Companies" tab to create others.
The choice of approach (equity share, financial control or operational control) does not vary the questionnaire for the same activity but influences how the user should fill in the questionnaire.

When you create your activity and choose your sector of activity, the questionnaire will be set up leaving the questions that concern your sector of activity as relevant, and these questions will remain relevant, whatever the approach chosen.

Your choice of approach can be modified later without changing your questionnaire. However, it is not a good idea to change the choice of sector of activity once you have completed your questionnaire.
It is possible to delete an activity as long as no GHG inventory has been created for that activity. If you have already started your GHG inventory, it will no longer be possible to delete the activity, but you will be able to modify it.

Généralités

To print/download a blank report: From the "calculate" menu, click on the "new report" button, complete step 1. In Step 2 of the report, on the right hand side of the screen, click on the link titled "Export a blank questionnaire template".
The questionnaire can be completed as information is collected within 12 months of its creation date. Thereafter, it will no longer be possible to modify the data entered.
Of course! Activity data can be entered as it is obtained. It is recommended to change the status of a question to "Valid" (green check mark ) once the answer has been entered. Also consider entering a private comment ( icon) if more than one of you fill in the questionnaire or if you wish to provide information that allowed you to calculate the activity data you have entered.
YES. It is even possible to share private comments on each question to guide other users or as a reminder to yourself.
Activity data can be found in the different departments that make up your company. You can, for example, ask the various managers (logistics, production, IT, sales and marketing, HR, general resources, etc.) to find this information. It is possible to print out the complete questionnaire relating to your activity and thus distribute the search for information internally. It is also possible to give the questionnaire to several users, each one being able to fill in the questions to which he has the answers.
In the "calculate" menu, under the "your emissions reports" tab, click on the magnifying glass icon of a GHG report to be modified. In the Input box below your results, click on Continue inputting my report.
When entering a report, it is possible to change the status of a question to find out where we are at.The folder icon indicates if the question is being entered.The green check icon indicates if the question is finished.The red cross icon indicates if the question is irrelevant. Questions considered irrelevant will be disabled during input. It is also possible to hide them by checking "hide irrelevant questions".
By clicking on this button, all questions being entered will automatically switch to validated entry and the progress bar of the declaration will go to 100%.
The progress bar varies according to the questions marked as valid. Remember to make questions that are not relevant to you irrelevant, and validate your questions once you have completed them.

To make the inventory of a group of two companies, you can create one activity per company and make a declaration for each activity.

You can then have a GHG inventory for each declaration, or a consolidated inventory for declarations concerning the same group.

To create the first company (other than the one indicated when registering), follow the procedure below :

  1. From the Calculate menu, go to the Your activities tab.
  2. Click on the Add button
  3. In the Company Name list, select Add a company
  4. Fill in the fields (remember to select the type of business) and then click on Save at the bottom.

Once the first company has been created, a new tab "Your companies" will appear from the Calculate menu, and you will be able to create/modify a company.

When you download an Excel template, as the questionnaire is always the same, regardless of the approach chosen, the value for the approach is given as a guide, and does not reflect what has been reported in your business. The blank template allows the user to have a global view of the pre-configured questionnaire; however, the user remains the final decision-maker as to the relevance or irrelevance of each question. He can even customise the questionnaire by adding questions via the "Other issues to report under..." questions by clicking on the cogwheel
The devices must be separated from their use. So there will be no double accounting if you record the devices as assets on one side and invoices for communications and subscriptions as incoming services on the other side.

GHG emissions from a participation in one or more third-party companies correspond to the direct and indirect emissions associated with energy, generated by the companies in proportion to the shares it owns.

If the companies for which the organisation holds shares have carried out and published their GHG Inventory on the ADEME's Base Carbone® website (or another official website), then it is fairly easy to find this information there. Otherwise, it is necessary to :

  • Contact the third-party company which can give the GHG emissions to be reported according to the participation held, either in the form of an amount of emissions to be reported by entering the amount directly, or in the form of an emission factor in kgCO2e/€ to be used by clicking on the cogwheel in the questions "Other emissions to be reported under ... ».
  • Make your own estimate
  • Not fill in this question
To calculate the GHG emissions (in CO2 eq) of assets under depreciation, it is possible to use the section Assets > Depreciated Assets of the questionnaire.

Do not hesitate to use the question "Other emissions to report for depreciation of ..." (by clicking on the cogwheel) to customise the questionnaire and calculate the GHG emissions of each depreciated asset for which you would like a calculation.

To view the total emissions calculated, click on Simulation at the bottom of the questionnaire and then download the Simplified GHG Inventory. You will then have a summary of the activity data entered, and the total GHG emissions calculated.
A franchisor can take into account the emissions of the franchisees in its GHG Inventory in Assets (Depreciation, leasing, investment, Downstream) > Downstream assets > Franchise downstream assets.

A franchisee should not consider franchisor emissions. However, if the fee paid to the franchisor is considered to be a supply of a communication service, then it is appropriate to account it in the "Total excluding tax of fee invoices, advertising and publications" question in Purchased Materials and Services > Inbound Services.

For home-to-work commuting, percentages AND kilometers must be entered. Kilometers will be used to calculate the total GHG emissions of the trips.

To calculate the average GHG emissions for each visitor, the percentages will be used to balance the weight of each mode of transportation.

It will then be possible to calculate total GHG emissions by multiplying the average GHG emissions for each visitor by the number of visitors previously reported.

WARNING: it is important to ensure that the sum of the percentages indicated equals 100%.

An LCV is a Light Commercial Vehicle, also known as a pickup truck or van.
For the travel of your visitors, if the company vehicles belong to your company (e.g. shuttles, etc....), the emissions concerning this travel of visitors must be accounted for according to the approach chosen for your activity and according to whether you have purchased or rented the goods. For more information, go to the Burger menu in the top right-hand corner of My Documents. There you will find a guide with more information.

On the other hand, if the company vehicles belong to the employer of your visitors, then they should be considered as private vehicles.
This option can be subscribed to at the time of payment of the 50% deposit of the GHG emissions report. It is also possible to subscribe to it afterwards by entering the report with the magnifying glass from the "Calculate" menu, then in the "What to do now?" box in the "Innventory results" block, click on the "caddy" icon for the "Simplified GHG inventory with breakdown by analytical criteria" option. You will find details of the steps to follow in the "GCI calculator operating mode" from slide 108 (in the "01" folder under "my documents" in your GCI access).
Air conditioning generates electricity consumption which must be accounted for in Scope 1 of your GHG Inventory "Fixed source electricity".

For the rest, the impacts concern refrigerant leaks which are to be identified in the "REFRIGERANTS" section of the GCI questionnaire.

However, these refrigerant leaks are significant over a period of one year but may not be significant over a shorter period.

If you do not have access to this information, we advise you to disregard this category.

Personnalisation du questionnaire

Icons allow to customise the questions:
• The icon is used to add a note that will appear in the GHG Inventory commented report.
• The icon is used to indicate a potential reduction action that should be taken for this question in order to improve its GHG impact. This action will appear in the GHG Inventory commented report
• The icon allows you to add a private comment for another user, or for yourself. This comment will not appear in the GHG Inventory commented report
• The icon is used to consult the history of the answers entered for a given question as and when modifications are made.
When creating an activity, you choose a sector of activity. This allows you to predefine a questionnaire with examples of frequently asked items. However, to customise the questionnaire to better suit your needs, you can make these sample questions irrelevant if necessary and use the CUSTOMISED QUESTIONNAIRE box to add questions. These questions can also be used to create your own questions / labels.

The additional input allows you to precisely indicate the source and emission factor used. These questions can also be used to create your own questions/wordings.
If some questions are shaded, it is because they have been deemed irrelevant based on the sector of activity and the approach of your business. It is always possible to reactivate them by changing the status of the question from "not relevant" (red cross ) to "capture in progress" (file ).
For each question category, you can find a question entitled "Other emissions to be reported under..." with a gearwheel icon that allows you to add or modify an additional entry. By clicking on these questions, you can indicate your own wording and associate it with an emission factor from the Base Carbone® or another reference system. It is also possible to use an emission factor provided by one of its providers. You can thus add as many personalized questions as you wish.
If you have received an emission factor from a supplier, it is possible to enter it in your questionnaire:
1. Go to the item concerned
2. In the "CUSTOMISED QUESTIONNAIRE" box you will find a Customisation button, make sure that the status of the question is not a red cross (). Change it to status if necessary.
3. Fill in a label
4. Fill in the emission factor transmitted by the supplier
5. Fill in the quantity. Emissions for this wording will be calculated
It is possible to add as many labels as necessary. Each label added will appear in the simplified GHG Inventory (with or without uncertainties) and in the GHG Inventory commented report.
If you wish, you can create a customised question to separate activity data, even if you use the same emission factor for these questions. To do this, use the questions "Other emissions to be reported as..." with a gearwheel icon and create a label for each activity data.
You can search for emission factors in the Base Carbone® using keywords. Simply type in a keyword and the emission factors containing this keyword will be displayed.
It does not always look the same because the tree structure is pre-filtered according to the context.
If the emission factor is not found using the search help in the Base Carbone®, it is possible to send us a message directly, by clicking on the link "you can't find the right emission factor? "and we will help you.
GCI uses a database of nearly 3,000 emission factors (EFs) established for France (Base Carbone®).
The user can enter EFs more appropriate to his activity and cite his source (his supplier, a specific reference system chosen by him)
GCI can interface, on request, other recognized databases such as :
- the Department for Business, Energy, etc.
- EcoInvent
- Inies
The source of the emission factor is an important piece of information because it ensures the source of the emission factor and therefore the credibility of the calculation. The source can be a recognised reference (Base Carbone®, EcoInvent, Inies, BEIS - ex DEFRA) or a supplier.

Quel facteur d'émission choisir?

The emissions for ATMs can be accounted under two headings: the purchase of the ATM (depreciating assets - and only if the ATM is still being depreciated) and its maintenance (incoming services).

Concerning the purchase of the ATM :
  • The emissions should be reported in Depreciated Assets > Computer equipment by creating a custom question.
  • To calculate the emission factor, you can use the formula: 5.5 kgCO2e/kg (emission factor for an industrial machine) * Average weight in kg of an ATM. This will give you an emission factor for 1 ATM.
  • For example: for an ATM weighing 1t, then the emission factor will be 5,500 kgCO2e/unit. Over a depreciation period of 4 years (it is an example and the depreciation period must represent the reality for your company), then you will have an emission factor of 1,375 kgCO2e/unit/year
We also recommend that you ask the ATM manufacturer to provide you with their emission factor. Alternatively, it is also possible to create a composite emission factor to take into account the emission factor of each component of the ATM.
You can use the emission factors from renewable energies available in the Base Carbone if you are sure you know the means of production. However, in this case you cannot use the emission factors directly given by your electricity suppliers
You can use the Emission Factor: WEEE - Average WEEE (default) - Average end of life stream - Impacts = 1995 kgCO2e/tonnes of waste
If you have chosen the operational control approach, we advise you to take these emissions into account directly in the "Depreciating assets" category
Explanations on this methodological choice are provided in your "My documents" area > "Managing your GHG assessment" > "Organisational scope and impact on GHG assessment.pdf".
You can use the emission factor Passenger car - Core range - Compact car - Electric
Unfortunately, the Base Carbon does not allow to reference all existing product types.
You should therefore ask your supplier for the emission factor if they know it, otherwise use a monetary emission factor such as "Machinery and equipment" in the "incoming services" category.
If specific emission factors are not listed, they do not exist. In this case, you need to request an emission factor from your supplier or identify a factor that may be similar to the one you are looking for.

Calcul des incertitudes

There are 2 types of uncertainty:- Uncertainty on emission factors: When the emission factor comes from the Base Carbone®, this uncertainty is a pre-documented and non modifiable value. In the questionnaire, these uncertainties are greyed out. Nevertheless, it may happen that the uncertainty of an emission factor from the Base Carbone® is not known, in which case it is recommended to assign an average value (50%).- Uncertainty on the data entered: values to be filled in for a section or a particular question.
The calculation of uncertainties allows the uncertainties in the activity data and emission factors to be taken into account and the effect on the results to be calculated. This allows organisations to identify priorities for improving the quality of these data. The ultimate goal is to optimize the reliability of future inventories and to guide more confidently the decision-making resulting from the assessment. The calculation of uncertainty is not mandatory but strongly recommended.
Before calculating the uncertainties, it is recommended to finalize the entry of the declaration (100% progress). To access the calculation of the uncertainties of a declaration, select the declaration in question and click on its magnifying glass.below the results boxes, in the Input box, click on Calculate Uncertainty.do not hesitate to consult the pop-up "How the questionnaire works" at the top left of the questionnaire to calculate the uncertainties.
Responses to the uncertainty questionnaire can be modified up to 12 months after the date of creation of the GHG inventory declaration, and it is even necessary to recalculate the uncertainties after each modification of the declaration.
There are 2 types of uncertainty:- Uncertainty on emission factors: When the emission factor comes from the Base Carbone®, this uncertainty is a pre-documented and non modifiable value. In the questionnaire, these uncertainties are greyed out. Nevertheless, it may happen that the uncertainty of an emission factor from the Base Carbone® is not known, in which case it is recommended to assign an average value (50%).- Uncertainty about the data entered: values to be filled in for a particular section or question. As the uncertainties about the emission factors cannot be modified, the percentages are shaded out.
Sometimes the uncertainty of an emission factor of the Base Carbone® is not known, it is then recommended to assign an average value (50%).
If you have entered an emission factor from a source other than the Base Carbone®, the uncertainty associated with that emission factor is unknown to GCI. You can then fill in the value of the documentary source used or that given by your supplier. Otherwise, it is recommended to assign an average value (50%).
Only questions with the Valid status of your declaration will appear in the uncertainty questionnaire.
It is not accessible because the questionnaire entry has been completed but the progress bar no longer displays 100%. The calculation of uncertainty on a declaration is no longer accessible when your declaration is more than 12 months old. However, after any modification of your declaration, you must go back to the uncertainty calculation to modify your answers if necessary and/or revalidate the questionnaire.
If you have modified your declaration, you must revalidate (and possibly modify) your uncertainty calculation.
The distribution of uncertainties by scope and position depends on your answers to the questionnaires. The values given per item and per scope are correct, but it is not relevant to add them together to obtain the total uncertainties. To do this, use the value indicated next to the calculated total GHG emissions.

Unité d'œuvre

A unit of measure can be : -KPIs that you track (e.g. GHG emissions per 1 FTE, 1 employee, etc...)-Consumer goods that you produce or sell-Services that you perform
The KPI type work unit makes it possible to report its total GHG emissions to a unit and to be able to track the evolution of this KPI over time.the Good or Service type work units make it possible to allocate its GHG emissions to a good or service. This makes it possible to define an emission factor that can be passed on to customers for the good or service sold. But it also makes it possible to track the impact of its reduction actions over time on this emission factor.
When calculating the emission factor for an individual work unit, you may want to calculate it based on multiple units of sale, for example, if you produce a good, you may sell it by the piece, by the carton, and/or by the lot. For example, if you produce a good, you can sell it by piece, by carton, and/or by lot.
A good produced or sold, as well as a service provided, does not necessarily require all of the company's resources. However, when calculating an emission factor for a KPI type work unit, one wishes to relate the total of its GHG balance to 1 unit of its KPI. For example, one may want to track the average amount of GHGs emitted per employee, per man/day, etc.
You can add, modify, or delete a work unit at any time.

Restitution des résultats

To obtain the consolidated results of several reports, go to the Calculate menu, then to the Your Emissions Reports tab to access the list of your reports. To obtain the consolidated results, select the reports to be consolidated by checking the box to the left of each report. A Consolidated Results button will then appear above the list of reports. Clicking on it will display the consolidated results. It is possible to download these results in an Excel file.Note: It is not possible to consolidate the declarations of several activities if they do not have the same approach.
It is possible to order a GHG Inventory commented report consolidating the results of several reports.
To do so, go to the Calculate menu, then to the Your emissions declarations tab to access the list of your declarations.
You must then select the declarations to be consolidated by ticking the box to the left of each declaration. A Consolidated Results button then appears above the list of reports. Clicking on it will display the consolidated results. In the GHG Inventory box, a button Order the GHG Inventory commented report appears. Note: It is not possible to consolidate declarations from several activities if they do not have the same approach.
The simplified GHG inventory with uncertainties is only available if the uncertainties have been calculated and are subsequent to the last modifications of this inventory.
In order to obtain your GHG Inventory commented report, you must first inform GCI that you have finalized your declaration and the calculation of uncertainties (if necessary) by clicking on the icon in the Reporting box. Please note that it will no longer be possible to modify the data and information entered once the report has been requested. It is therefore recommended that you read this information carefully before requesting your report.
If you changed your report after it was generated, it is no longer up to date and therefore no longer downloadable. You will then have to make a new report order.
Once the GHG Inventory commented report is generated, it will not be possible to modify any part resulting from the information entered by you (presentation, motivations, activity data, report note, etc.) It is therefore recommended that you proofread carefully all this information before requesting your report.
They're not the same reports. An activity's GHG inventory report contains data specific to that declaration. The consolidated report for several activities contains comparative data between these activities.
The GHG report can be modified up to 12 months after its creation date. The GHG report in excel format can be downloaded directly from the platform at any time and as many times as necessary. The file will be updated with the latest modifications.
For the commented PDF Report, the re-edition must be requested from GCI and will be invoiced. It is therefore important to request it only after all changes have been made.

Multi-Entreprise

When you register and by default, your company is registered in your profile and appears in all downloadable reports on the website.

If you are in charge of reporting for one or more companies other than your own, you can then create as many companies as you need, which will allow you to download the GHG Inventory or the GHG Inventory commented report in the name of the company concerned, and not in the name of the company used when you registered

The type of Company or Local authority allows to determine the applicable rate for carrying out a declaration.

It is possible to modify this information as long as there is no declaration related to this company.

Les pistes de réduction

A library of reduction action ideas has been built up by GCO and is continually being updated with customer feedback. This library is available in each input section by pressing the " Some reduction action ideas . »
It is possible to enter in your declaration, at the level of each question by clicking on the icon to add a note explaining the action envisaged and its potential gain for this question. These actions will be included in the Complete Report of the GHG Inventory.

Quantifier des action de réduction

The creation of a reduction action only concerns one declaration. If you wish to assess the impact of the same action (e.g. changing light bulbs to LEDs) on another claim, you will need to create a new action.
The simulated and quantified reduction actions are automatically included in the Complete Report of the GHG Inventory. Remember to give an evocative title and a detailed description of your reduction action.

Règlementation de la compensation des émissions de GES

The SDGs were adopted in September 2015 by the United Nations in the "Agenda 2030 for Sustainable Development": 17 sustainable development goals to eradicate extreme poverty, combat inequality and preserve the planet. The sustainable development goals provide a roadmap for achieving a better and more sustainable future for all. The sustainable development goals provide a roadmap for achieving a better and more sustainable future for all. The sustainable development goals address global challenges, including those related to poverty, inequality, climate, environmental degradation, prosperity, peace and justice. The goals are interconnected and, in order to ensure that no one is left behind, it is important to achieve each of them, and each of their targets, by 2030.
Each carbon offset project meets one or more sustainable development objectives. Engaging your company with Sustainable Development Objectives is the best way to develop and implement your environmental and societal strategy. GCI supports you in this commitment, allowing you to communicate more about your actions. Making public the objectives to which the company contributes strengthens its environmental brand image towards stakeholders, employees and partners.

Compenser ses émissions de GES

Offsetting consists of purchasing carbon credits from an emissions reduction project carried out in a territory, in relation to its own carbon footprint.Offsetting CO2 that could not be reduced here, consists of financing an eco-project elsewhere. One ton of CO2 avoided in the eco-project generates a carbon credit, but some companies are hostile to this, preferring only the reforestation technique.
In general, it is recommended to calculate one's GHG emissions and to implement actions to reduce them as much as possible and to offset residual emissions. However, it is up to you to choose how much of your emissions you wish to offset.
Yes, it is possible to choose as many projects as you wish to offset your emissions.
It is possible that the amount you wish to offset may be refused if it does not correspond to the offset criteria of the chosen project. Indeed, each project may be subject to specific conditions, such as a budget or a minimum quantity of tonnes of GHGs. If your amount does not meet these conditions, then your request for compensation will be refused.
Once you have chosen your offset project, you can either enter a quantity of tons of GHG to offset, or a total budget that you wish to invest in the project. For your information, when you enter a budget, the equivalent in quantity of tons of GHG will automatically appear on the screen, and vice versa.
